as a possibly autistic but definitely neurodivergent person i get cats, like goddamn

people always compare autistic people to cats as a joke but there are some real similarities that don’t actually mean anything in reality

it does however mean i look get along with cats really well and get really confused why other people can’t just learn to read some (pretty obvious, in my opinion) body language stuff and get along with cats too

like watch one video, read one article, for goodness sake look at an infographic, and you might learn some really useful stuff

like here’s where to let cats if you don’t know them, here’s how to approach them, also, they can get over stimulated when being pet so learn the signs and leave ‘em alone

‘i keep getting scratched and bit’ well mf the cat bristled, gave you a warning bat, was waving their tail anxiously, had their ears back, tried to back away, and hissed

you decided to keeping on petting the obviously in distress cat, like tf you except bitch??

anyway that’s how autistics are treated too

my mom treats cats and i the same way and one of us even has words. it’s not great, and it’s damn common too
