I was thinking about the answer to this question so I did a little but of research. I came across one interesting site in particular which expresses the two polarized views:
DO CATS HAVE EMOTIONS?
Based on my own experiences, I would definitely have to say yes. For example, when Keano returns to my bed in the morning from his breakfast, he purrs so loudly and curls up on my chest.. it seems like he is so happy to be back. Or when I talk to him he scrunches up his back and whaps his tail from side to side and it really seems like he's excited. Just the way he interacts with me, I feel like it's impossible for him to be reacting purely instinctually. What are some of your thoughts?
