Come on, stroking it's belly isn't generosity! Every evening when I come home! It's a matter of providing mutual comfort. (So it pleases the cat to be petted, fine - the act of doing so also lowers my blood pressure!) > > At least dogs will give you unconditional love. Whereas cats CHOOSE where they will bestow their affection! (A dog will put up with all kinds of abuse from its human - a cat has better sense, and will leave in search of a better home, if you mistreat it.)
