Acquaintances -- non cat-people acquaintances -- have told me, "Cats aren't really domesticated. They're vicious predators. If they were larger, they would hunt us and eat us."
This is, of course, arrant nonsense, a vile canard. Out cats love us. If they were larger, they wouldn't eat us, they'd eat our neighbors; our neighbor's cats would eat us.

Not sure on that one. I am a cat person. I have heard too many stories of large cats attacking their handlers to doubt the affection they show us is fleeting. I would think it was hormones but something is wired a little different in a cat.
Your's might be different but if they suffer a sudden growth spurt I might be a little more cautious around them
Reminds me a bit of the stories about the old-time cattle ranchers who said it made them sick to eat their own beef, so they'd poach a steer from their neighbor, and the neighbor would do the same, despite there technically being laws against such things.
Only here, the cats are the cattle ranchers...
Snerk... :-)

I figure that when our cat licks my fingers while I'm scruffling him that he's just checking to see if the flavor is right yet.
Well, akchually I caught my little black and white tom hunting me this morning....
