cats, especially male cats, become more mellow when they get fixed. i think it might be something to do with the hormones. and yes, cats are very capable of hypnotising you into cuddling with them. scientists are actually saying that they think cats domesticated themselves, which makes total sense if you've met one. they saw how the dogs were getting fed and petted and stuff by humans and they were like "i can do that better. you: silly human! aren't i adorable? don't you love me??? don't you want to give me food? *purr purr* it was subtle mind control from the very begining.

*giggle*

More seriously, I think there was some serious symbiosis going on here early on.

Back in the Day, Egypt got one inundation per year from the Nile. Outside the Nile Valley proper, the climate for growing things, absent copius water, purely sucked. And the NIle's gift of water and sediment wasn't all that predictable.

Which means that the locals had to store grain in good years to tide them over during lean ones.

Which brings us to the Little Guys ....

Who basically volunteered themselves for the job of keeping the granaries reasonably secure from foragers.

Yeah, after a few hundred years of this, supplemented by the odd quasi-feral cat deciding that extended adolescence in the protection of a human looked like a better bet than duking it out with predators one or two pegs higher on the food chain, and the human's reaction when their granary guardian turned into a friendly fuzzball ... they ended up with cat cults.

One of four fuzzy felines present in this house was snipped rather early on. He STILL pees on everything. He's also marked (peed on) both my sister and my mother as belonging to him... lest any other cats in the neighborhood get any wild ideas. Neither of them were amused.

He's got a fear of small spaces... so he'll back up to the cat box, won't go in... and will spray the outside of it, often getting it all over the floor. And when he's especially irritated, he'll just take a leak right in front of the cat box, no attempt to back up toward it.

He also thinks he's a dog... but that's another story.

Save the knife sharpening for the loud mouthed 2 legged variety that dribbles on the toilet and doesn't put the seat down

Poor cat, he was only marking you are your possesions as his. Doing you a favour, letting all the other cats know you were owned.
