Think your cat loves you? Think again... All cat owners are convinced their cat adores them, the loving provider of daily food, affection and a warm home. But what would your cat tell you if it could speak? Would they shower you with praise for providing them a loving home? Not likely. Discover what your cat’s really thinking and what the meaning is behind those looks, twitches and ‘loving’ gestures in this hilarious cat’s-eye view of life.
