I think the cat is allergic to food.

He was a feral kitten.  They clip the ear tip off a feral cat when they neuter them.  In his case, it’s like a big doughy adult baby had the word HATE tattooed across his knuckles.

I originally titled this “Animorphia” and then discovered that’s a message board for furries.  I meant “animals talking like humans” and not “humans talking like animals.”
