Cats sometimes do that kneading shit but they also do not have hands (apart from maybe the weird polydactyl freaks) and neither has that kneading the same meaning as caressing

Why are cheetahs so completely unscary and unmajestic?

Egyptians domesticated them as hunting companions, usually used in a pack with dogs. They then exterminated the wild type cheetahs because they were more voracious and were attacking livestock, dogs, small cats, and people.

Because of this they are extremely inbred.

I think the ability to recognize and actively seek out "pets" from humans proves self awareness

It's basically escapism for cats, they know milk ain't comin out but feels good, man.

I'd argue that grooming each other with their mouths/tongues should count; us apes (plus a few other animals) are just weirdos for being better at manipulating stuff with our hands.
