I'm not sure how someone can actually form a loving bond with another animal (a cat or dog or someone else) and think that friendship is only a functional, sterile reflex to being given food.
There has to be something broken and deeply shut down for them not to be able to sense the other animal's caring emotional responses to the person they have befriended.
But, if you go through life seeing other animals as dumb, mindless objects, that might be the problem. 😒
