cats are awesome,theyre better than anything.
am not sure that those with aut/as would have a cat more than non spectrumers because they're one of the most popular non humans around,they're more of a lap pet than dogs so that would especially appeal to anyone who has some sort of problem or unwant of human contact for whatever reason?
am dont connect with humans,but am friends with cats,and get followed around by them like how cesar millan [the dog whisperer] does by dogs,have always had a profound connection with cats even when am interacted with nothing else.

it seems unfair that such wise and slinky and attractive beings could only live an average of 15 years.
agrees.
it isnt fair,they should be ageless like the gods they are,and deserve to be treated as,and it isnt fair that they often get things like cancer,nothing worse than seeing a cat friend with cancer [or some other illness that gets worse and is going to kill them] and knowing there's no way out of it for them other than to die,because vets say chemo is more suffering than its worth and operating isnt always suitable for different cats.
At least they arent like rats,they're one of the best friends can have,but they only have a few years or less of life and often suffer with terminal cancer at the end.

more whiney and started to drool all over me.
she could have a mouth or tooth infection/problem of some sort as this one of the causes for when a cat starts to drool.and if it's a senior cat,it could even have dementia,or it could be because of pain or learned behavior [the whining that is,not drooling].
GFB drools,and he really soaks with it,but its not a physical problem for him,he likes to suck and kneed the wet spots he makes like a kitten,he acts like a kitten all the time,am recommend getting a big thick towel and using that as an anti slobber mat if do not use anything like that already and a check up at the vets as that is what GFBs human did.
