猫打呼噜不单意味着舒服，小猫打呼噜也表示 “要求猫妈妈在它们喝奶时安静躺着”，布拉德肖在美国国家公共电视台的采访中说道。这种打呼噜的习惯一直延续到成猫阶段，是喵星人向周围动物及人寻求关注和帮助的信号。

Cats are different than dogs because they weren't purposely bred to be our companions, Nicholas Wade explains in a review for The New York Times. They are still mostly wild animals that "rely almost entirely on their natural social behaviors," writes Wade.

喵星人和汪星人存在区别，是因为喵星人从一开始就没有被刻意训练成人类的伙伴，尼古拉斯-韦德在《纽约时报》的评论中写道。他还表示：“猫在很大程度上仍属于野生动物，仍然完全依靠自身的自然社会习性来生存。”

This is also why cats have earned a reputation for being unfriendly. The domestic cat population is largely controlled through spaying and neutering, leaving mostly wild or feral cats (known for their nasty behavior) for domestic cats to breed with. As a result, we are unintentionally "causing cats to evolve into animals society won't like as much," according to a review by Steven Poole in The Guardian.

这也是喵星人被误以为不友善的原因。通过切除卵巢或阉割，家养猫的数量得到了良好控制，以致大多数臭名昭著的野猫成了交配对象。结果无意中导致“猫演化成了不受待见的动物群体。”史蒂夫-普尔在《卫报》上评论说。
