Maybe if people want the same level of love and affection we give our cats they should act more like cats. Be honest in your affection and displeasure. Respect peoples boundaries and inform them of yours. Don't play games or use double speak. Don't take it personally when people don't want the same things as you. Value your own time ruthlessly. A cats love and trust are precious because you can trust that it's real. Obviously peoples desires and relationships are more complex and nuanced than a cats, but I think most people can learn a lot from their example.
I agree with this a lot.

And foretold the genesis of a great British glam rock band. If you know, you know :-)

Funny thing: one of their top-three songs is a cover. (At least one, that I know of.)
Look up βRoll over, lay downβ on Spotify.
