Cats bond with their people

The findings show that, much like children and dogs, pet cats form secure and insecure bonds with their human caretakers.

This cat must belong to a neighbor, it looks well fed and we see it often. The trail/game camera in the front yard catches it regularly. Often it comes up on the front porch and triggers the motion lights.
