The article explores the popular belief that cats perceive humans as fellow cats. Research suggests that cats do not see humans as giant cats, but rather as a separate species. Cats have evolved to communicate with humans in ways similar to how they communicate with other cats, but they do not necessarily view humans as feline companions. The study also found that cats may not fully understand human social cues and behaviors, leading to misunderstandings between cats and their human owners.

Despite this, cats are able to form strong bonds with humans and adapt their behavior to interact and communicate effectively with their human companions. Overall, while cats may not think of humans as fellow cats, they are capable of developing meaningful relationships with their human caregivers.
