😭 Cats like attention because it meets both their social and survival needs. While often seen as independent, cats form strong bonds with people and seek attention as a way to feel safe, stimulated, and secure in their environment. Gentle petting, play, and eye contact can release calming chemicals in their brains, reinforce trust, and relieve boredom. Attention also mimics social behaviors cats use with other cats, so when they seek it from humans, it is often their way of communicating comfort, curiosity, or affection.
