I'm pretty sure all people would get pissed off if you wouldn't stop stroking them from head to tailbone :lol:

Lol. What do you mean? Uhm. I think they are cuddlesome themselves but at some point would get irritated if you touch them quite long.

LOL...Cats have Asperger's from the viewpoint of humans.

Do cats, themselves, believe they have Asperger's?

From the cat viewpoint, Aspergian behaviors are "normal."

Opossums are autistic. They shut down when they are overwhelmed.
Some baby opossums got into my house and they froze with their mouths agape when I encountered them.
I was able to gently transport them outside one at a time near where their nest was under a shed.
It took them a few minutes to come out of their shutdown and scramble back under the shed.

Does this mean (more severely) Autistic people are human versions of cats, and Aspies have cat traits?

I think ASDs should be named 'Feline Syndrome'. It would feel a lot less shameful to say, and many people might think it's cute.

Sometimes the name of something can make a huge difference on how that something is viewed by the general population.
:D

Still with the potential to confuse though.
I've found that being called 'cute' is very often not a good thing.

I think cats are too inconsistent & unpredictable to have Asperges. They;re just really independent & like doing their own thing.
