Cat's Constant Desire to Kill Their Human: Fact or Myth

Certainly, regarding this question, there is a division of opinion. Some believe that cats, being docile creatures, wouldn't harbor such thoughts towards their owners. Conversely, others hold a differing viewpoint.

A team from the University of Edinburgh and the Bronx Zoo embarked on a study to delve into the psyche of domestic cats, Scottish wildcats, clouded leopards, snow leopards, and African lions, conducting a form of psychoanalysis on these feline species.

Experts noted, "Among the five cat species we assessed, their personality structures are strikingly similar. A domestic cat shares an astonishingly similar personality structure with other species; their neuroticism and dominant traits are akin to a killing machine."

Now, why do cats not attack their owners? Here's what some research suggests:

The reason cats typically don't attack their owners is that humans are much larger, and their cats lack the means to seriously injure them. However, not all domestic cats are intent on killing their owners; there is a diversity within the species.

Some cats are quite selfcentered and dislike being confined. Since humans keep them indoors, these cats may be desperate to break free. So, it's possible that many solitary cats are plotting to eliminate their owners and escape their confines.

On the other hand, if a cat is gentle and fond of its owner, it is unlikely to have any desire to harm them.
