We have to confess: we have a weakness. For cats. For all cats. We cannot stop ourselves from trying to pet them. Yes, all of them. We have long said that one day we are going to end up on the news for trying to pet a lynx cub in the wild or something. It doesn't matter that we know that some of these cats are dangerous and that they should not be touched. We cannot stop ourselves. We see a pride, and immediately, we want to join the lion cuddle pile. We see a bunch of grumpy Pallas's cats, and we immediately want to try to turn their frowns upside down, even though we know that we can't.
So, if we saw this dangerous, fierce, incredibly deadly black footed cat somewhere out there in the world, we just know that we would lose a finger trying to pet it. We know that about ourselves, and if it happened to us, we don't even think we would regret it. Not fully. Because at least we got to pet the cat.
