    cats can’t obtain anything as they have no agency, they can only be bestowed upon, whether the cat accepts is a question that can’t possibly be answered, but i’d expect not

      While it’s true that cats may not have agency in the human sense—planning for the distant future or contemplating their existence—they do exhibit a form of agency within their capabilities. Cats make choices about their actions, like where to sleep or when to hunt, showing preferences and intentionality. They respond to their environments in complex ways, indicating a level of autonomous decision-making. So while their agency might be different from ours, it’s not accurate to say they have none at all.
