Felis are solitary predators so they are always sociopathic.

They feel only slavish obedience, because they're degenerate creatures bred to be slaves. No man-made thing can truly be said to feel love.

That's fine, love doesn't exist anyways. It's just instinct doing what it does.

What is a dog but a machine for loving?
You introduce him to a human being,
giving him the mission to love
And however ugly, perverse, deformed or stupid
this human being might be
The dog loves him.
>>2244727
>love
Define this.
>>2244727
Anyone who believes this is not only an edgelord, but is also wrong.
We have studies upon studies that at least dogs love us.
All you have is edgy facts that you learned from the totally reliable source of alienated youth.

Well, dogs can produce the oxytocin hormone, which causes love. I don't remember well, but I think cats can too, but less.

no we don't.
emotions require subjectivity, subjectivity requires consciousness because if you aren't aware of your opinion you don't have one.
there are no viable methods to test consciousness in animals, so terms that require it can't be applied to them.

>there are no viable methods to test consciousness in animals
If that's true then why have you autismed all over this board for eons claiming animals aren't conscious?
>>2246241
it doesn't matter whether it's a 'no' or a 'maybe' in terms of whether they're conscious or not.
'emotion' wouldn't apply to them either way, neither would 'pain' or even basic terms like 'eating' or 'aggression' because they require intent.
if that intent or awareness hasn't been demonstrated, they don't apply.

Humans are animals. Trust me, we don't magically have a love organ every other animal doesn't have access to.

>implying humans can love
>>2246253
consciousness can't be tested properly so the only conscious being on earth is yourself for all you know.

Daily Reminder: Men can't even comprehend what love is.
>>2244727
Neither do humans then. "Love" is just a transient illusion to promote reproduction. You don't love anyone unless they provide some kind of benefit to your existence or direct relatives that share genetic code.
TL:DR; Humans are animals too and don't love either.

That's true, but they push onwards and love regardless, usually to their own detriment. Women only love money, objects, and fame. Sad!
