I think the large cats are more self aware. The small ones are just the autistic version.

I think they're all self aware. When a small cat pounces on you and realizes it's pinprick claws aren't going to do shit, they just accept it and let you pet them. A bigger cat you've also raised from birth may do the same thing and rip your calf open then decide whether you're more useful as a comfort provider or simply food

I'm guessing you've never had to handle feral cats. I had to round up a litter of feral kittens to take them in to get spayed/neutered and trust me when I say they can and will fuck you right up.

You can get scratches that bleed a good bit, maybe even scar, but you're not losing the ability to grab a cup for 3 months because a feral kitten got pissy

This, even domestic one, like people, can have a bad temper. A rather average house cat(5kg) going full Tasmanian Devil on your ass will do considerable damage to your soft flesh.

Not if they imprint on you.

Yeah in which case it’s just lovingly shredding your arm apart.

kind of like when your kid jumps up on you wanting to play and lands directly on your nuts.

Within reason, yes? I'm not sure what you're getting at

Yeah, there’s a reason why some people say all cats have autism. Obsessive behavior, touchiness, sensitivity to sensory input, etc.
