Cats let us domesticate them because we’re big enough to hunt (grocery shop) for tbem and provide shelter (house, cat bed, human bed) but aren’t interested in eating them - the sweet spot 👌
My cats ran a mouse up the door for me this morning. I woke up to both of them just going bananas at my patio door and when I collected myself I went “oh, a mouse, that’s a weird place… how did it even get to the second hinge…? whatever man…” and scooped it into a big jar and took it outside.
I wish they were slightly better at their end of the bargain…
