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 🤔
