Again, I don't see how you can feel emotions are learned when in fact they
just can happen. The human psyche is just that. Yes some things can be
taught like smelling a flower, or tasting food. But pure emotions like love
can't be taught, they simply happen.

You say that "it's not possible that they can feel a learned emotion without
having had the experience that would have taught it. It doesn't work that
way, I don't care what Spock says." Could it be fear that drives your
viewpoint. How do you know what you say is true? It sounds like you are a
being a bit close minded.

First off I am glad you recognize that is a "character" and not a real
person.

Cats can have some of our same emotions but if you know anything
about the human psyche and where we get our emotions (and some how
I am guessing you don't) you would know that most of our emotions
are learned. We aren't born feeling humiliated, greedy, generous,
prideful,
envious..and a whole host of others. Those are emotions that are learned
through the actions and response. Cats do not have the same experiences
we have. The only action/response mechanism to trigger their emotions are
the ones you subject them too. I'm sorry, I love my cat too but it's
not possible that they can feel a learned emotion without having had the
experience that would have taught it. It doesn't work that way, I don't
care
what Spock says.

BTW..this isn't to say that you can't teach your cat to feel
humiliated....but
they dont just feel that way on their own..and neither do people!
