Do Cats Have Feelings and Emotions?

Based on feline physiology, it is probably assumed that cats can feel emotions.

The cats are mammals, and therefore they have brain structures, and the shape of the brain is very similar to the shape of the human brain.

Wayne Hunthausen, believes for a fact that cats feel emotions, just like any human being. Although there is no way to know for sure "without talking to the cat" that cats express themselves according to their emotions and not according to their behavior; since they can be similar in both situations.

According to therapist Carole Wilbourn, she also believes that cats have emotions. "They are able to express different moods: happiness, sadness, anger, etc ... A cat acts the way it feels".

Cats feel all those emotions that human beings feel, "They may not react in the same way, but they definitely feel the same emotions that we do," Warren Eckstein said.

Perhaps cats do get to feel emotions, but not necessarily in the same way that humans think. The human being is prepared to remember and suffer with his past, if there were problems in him. We remember moments of happiness, joy, abandonment, sadness or restlessness when we are in front of a letter or we listen to a specific song.

I don't think cats demonstrate anything when listening to the same song and not under other circumstances either.

    It is important to consider the differences between "feeling" and "emotion."

    I have to travel and I will leave my kitten with the neighbor I am going to miss her and she will miss me poor thing I am going to an apartment and I think she will not get used to it

      Hi Mimi.
      Do not worry. Cats quickly get used to a new home. Tell your neighbor to spend time with her, to play with her, to love her, and that way it will be much easier for her to adapt to her new situation.
      A greeting.

    Ola I have a kitten barely 1 year old, the truth is that he left the house and was taken away for 4 days, we looked for him tomorrow and afternoon and nothing. This morning he appeared completely healthy and very clean to have this 4 days lost. Anyway, thank God he's perfectly fine. The issue is that he appeared around 6 in the morning and wouldn't stop meowing or crying, I don't know, I had to lie down on the couch and he came with me, he relaxed and He fell asleep. Hay showed me how much he had missed me. They are incredible beings who teach us every day.

      Very true, Carmen. They have feelings and they show us day by day 🙂.

      Hello marisol.
      Yes, it is likely that I will miss you. But it will only be a few days, maybe weeks. It will end up happening to him 😉
      A greeting.

          You don't have to apologize for that. I wish we all respected cats. A hug, and do not worry about the kitten: he will pass 🙂.

    I have a two-month-old kitten that I found it, I already have it for a week it is very playful but I will have to travel now I do not know what to do

         Monica sanchez said

      Hi Edwin.
      You can leave it at home and ask someone to feed it, a friend or family member.
      If it is a few days (2-3) leave enough food. Nothing will happen to him.
      A greeting.
