Cats demonstrate competitive bonding with each other, but not with humans.

You haven't met our cats.

yeah, ours will pick their person, say me, and be their shadow all day, then cuddle on my wife's lap while staring at me, daring me to complain that i'm not getting kitten cuddles.

it was so sweet the way my prettykitty chose me at the shelter. we bonded instantly. i can tell she's telling me "i love her too" when she does this stuff and it's adorable but i am still envious of the kitten cuddles.
