On an individual basis, I like cats, we’ve even had a few through the years. I prefer dogs, however. As a group, especially feral cats, I do not like them at all. One of the mallard couples on our pond just hatched 8 little ones. Within a week, feral cats had killed them all.
I’ve read that cats seem to know and pester people who dislike them because avoiding a cat’s gaze and not immediately smothering them is considered good cat manners, so they warm up to those who ignore them and hide from those that don’t.

It’s not really a chemical bond though. More like explosive set nailing…

That is too clingy – especially if (since?) Muffin still has her claws.

Like the bond between the two sides of a velcro fastening.

I have a cat on my lap right now. Fortunately, her claws aren’t sunk in like Muffin’s are.

Right now, my Siamese kitten is on the back of my chair, leaning against my neck, so I can feel for Earl.

LOL! That would be my cat-hating ex & my old boss BS the Maine Coon Monster, whose favorite place to nap was next to him in the easy chair.

One cannot help but bond with object of one’s allergies.

At the moment, you should be happy that bond is unspoken.

one of our cats used to do that to my wife all the time – she liked to ride on her shoulder, but couldn’t jump that high…

Earl doesn’t look happy giving Muffin a piggyback ride.
