It kinda blew my mind that dogs are more empathetic than chimps. Maybe they used autistic chimps in the thing I watched, still seems unbelievable.

Cats also know that you’re there. They just don’t give a fuck.

This makes no sense. Cats can recognize any other animal being other species, but somehow that fails with humans? What logic is there?

Dogs are the same. They think they are humans. The first tribe members that clearly know that they are not humans are apes and some monkeys.

Dogs can't even tell if you launched the stick or not...

Nor can kids up to age 5 if you're good at deception.

Cats can't tell the difference between a real object moving on a surface and a beam of light..

You shouldn't put the words "cats" and "think" in the same sentence.

Then why did you?

Do you even understand the word "think"?
