i honestly dont think I’ve willingly used a chatbot since….. cleverbot in 2012. i genuinely dont know why so many people care about this ai bullshit. sorry im with the boomers on this one. i need human creation, emotion, and thought to be interested, pal
Plus since ChatGPT is sanitized you could never get interactions like these
Dispite their reputation, cats are very very socal creatures. Cats do the equivalent of this for you when they sit in front of your laptop and put their arms on the keyboard or put their paw on your phone while you’re using it. This is their love language, it’s how they show that they like you and care about what you care about. They don’t understand why you care about it but they’re trying.
If you turn around and do the same for them they’ll be absolutely delighted. Sometimes when our youngest cat goes to the scratching post I scratch it with him too and he loves it. He’ll gets so into the scratching that he ends up climbing it cuz he wants to scratch with his back paws too. If they’re chirping at the window I’ll sometimes go over to see what they see and they usually scoot over so I have room beside them to see the offending bird or insect and they’ll purr like crazy cuz they’re so happy I’m helping them
when your pet comes to you from another room, the preceding moments meant that they were alone somewhere and thought about YOU, an animal brain literally thought about you and came to you to see what you were doing. that’s love, unconditional.
my cat just got up from across the room to walk to her water bowl and halfway there she saw my feet were off the footrest so she veered her course in order to rub against my shin as she passed. She didn’t stop or get distracted, she just went out of her way to say hi for a second the way I do when I walk past and give her a pat wherever she’s sleeping
