Some cats may seem a little more aloof than dogs, but they respond to the people they've bonded with in a similar way, according to a new study.
Research at Oregon State University has shown that cats can form secure or insecure bonds with their owners. The researchers now believe the trait isn't specific to dogs, as similar research has shown, since it now applies to cats. During human attachment behavior studies, researchers look at how babies respond when they're reunited with their parent or caregiver after a short absence.
Duh

Cats are more discerning.
My cat on the phone with me: 'Can you hear meow?'
Cats dont dispense affection as readily as dogs...but when they do....it's heaven!!!!
All employers are aloof 😊
Not gonna follow you, , even if you tempt me with cats....
Did my tax money pay for this?
Garbage...cats are awful.
My cat is very attached to me and responds to commands such as her name.
My cat legit runs to the door and meets me almost every time I get home. He knows it’s me before I’m even at my door.
Absolutely they bond. I know my guys look for Daddy when he comes through the door.
Yes they do. Follow me everywhere and get upset when I leave.
No study needed. Just spend some time w/cats or speak to people who live w/cats. Bonds w/cats are so much stronger than dogs b/c they are earned.
My life partner Tonks certainly thinks so.
Hard hitting stuff here CNN.
