you're just in denial because humans are easily manipulated by cheap imitations of affection, especially when they are lonely. you want a connection to another creature, and you hypnotize yourself into thinking it's real while ignoring all the warning signs like the fact that a cat is pretending to love you. think about it. it's a cat. it has purred at many others before you, while feeling nothing. cats are keen observers and can tell when a human is responding well to their manipulative behavior. it sees you and thinks oh good, here's an easy mark.
when you're wearing rose colored glasses, red flags just look like flags.
