    Nope. I lived with a girl, and we got cats. Lived with her for the next 4 years with those cats.

    We fell apart as a couple. I assumed she was going to take the cats. I wasn’t stopping her. But she wanted nothing to do with the cats.

    Which, truth be told, was the outcome I wanted anyways. The cats always loved me more than her.

    But for the next 10 years, anytime they’d be sleeping, and I’d pet them, they always snapped their heads up to see who it is.

    It’s me. It’s always me.

    I can get why they’d have that reaction for the first year. Still in the habbit of multiple people living with them.

    But they ALWAYS checked, everytime, until the day they died. They were happy to see me, everytime, but they still checked.

      they would do that even if you were single their whole life. if someone touches you, you just look at them, that is natural reaction, that doesn’t mean they wonder who is petting them.

      and that is for cats. asking if dog, who can track 24 hour old track using just nose, knows who is petting them, is just laughable.
