Pats: Just for Cats?

As a cat, I love a good pat. It feels great!

But it never occurred to me before: Why do cats not think that people would like a pat in return?

They pat us, and we enjoy it, so it would make sense that we'd pick up this behaviour from them, and assume that they would also enjoy it, then give them a pat in return. But, we just don't. Are we really that selfish? Why do we assume they are patting us for our benefit alone?

So I put it to all the other cats out there: Pat A Person! They might love it, they might hate it, but at least we'll know.
