Other than having narcissistic image of themselves plastered all over the net....
Are we just a free meal ticket for house cats? I'd imagine lions and tigers would ripped them to shreds for being slackers....
How is it house cats manage to convince everyone they're smart when they're so hard to train.
Aren't house cats taking advantage of persons suffering from emotional instability?
Seems like a nice Topic to drop a detailed reply..
To start with, every living creature on this planet has equal freedom to survive and so does Cat. Whether it's found on the street or it's your pet, you should love them without expecting anything in return..
Now i would like to answer this in a much detailed manner as per your Topic/Post;
1.) Are we just a free meal ticket for house cats?One should not consider this like a Trade System, you give them food and you expect something in return from them..
This is quite a wrong way to think about this..
Also, cats are not taking advantage of persons suffering from emotional instability as you said, there is nothing bad in giving them some left-out food that you would be throwing it away as a waste on a dustbin at the end-of-the-day.
Cats didn't asked you to cook some special food for them and serve it on a tablet, did they?
They are good with the left-out food as well, they won't complaint to you unlike a human being (
that i need so and so food specifically for breakfast, lunch etc.)
Whether Cat or any other pet, we like them because they make us feel happy and relaxed during various occasions/situations, there is nothing more to expect from them.. they are just good as they are, without an Attitude/Ego problem..
2.) How is it house cats manage to convince everyone they're smart when they're so hard to train.I haven't seen them doing so, unless cats can speak like human and you understood that this is what they mean or may-be you read this out with their facial expression itself..
Why do you even want to train them? Aren't you happy with the cat as they are?
If NO, then you shouldn't have purchased a cat at first place..
Training a pet is good, but forcing a pet to get trained is bad.. every human being doesn't posses the same skill-set and so does every cat doesn't have the same skills..
That been said, mostly everything has pros and cons, when you own a pet you need to take a good care of your house including regular cleaning and all those usual things..
Last but not the least, if you start to read on the internet or if you are aware about real life scenarios, there are many instances where a cat has proved it's smartness and acted as a life saver too..
I will drop few references to a couple of them as below;

So do you think a cat was actually trained by someone for saving a life?
Also the below article, this might be true as well, who knows;

Also no offence here, this is just my personal view on this.. it's a forum for discussion and hence this was my view... now let's hear it from others..
Enjoy everyone..
PS: Oops the reply went little lengthy i guess, kindly excuse me for that.
