I've started to notice for a while now that cats fit a lot of the neurodivergents traits like ASD and ADHD:
Neophobe (they love routine and hate changes)
Easily overstimulated
Hate being told what to do
Eat the same food everyday and be happy with it
Can be lovely with close ones but very shy/anxious with strangers
Very involved in stuff they like (playing), very lazy for stuff that doesn't interest them
Easily distracted
Sleep a lot
Can have shutdowns or meltdowns in stressful situations
Seeing all those patterns, I'm starting to think that maybe neurodivergent people's brains have some structure which is closer to a feline brain, and that could explain some of these similar behaviors.
It's really just some random thoughts, but it seems to match a lot and cats and humans are not that far away in the tree of evolution 🤔
