In his new book Cat Sense, British biologist and animal behavior expert John Bradshaw argues that domestic cats view their owners as large, non-hostile cats, such as a mother cat or an older, larger relative. What do you think? “It’s nice to know my fetish has some grounding in science.” Francine Langham • Beet Farmer “Yes, and when humans look at cats, we see tiny, 2-foot-tall human beings.
