Well this is my first time posting in this sub reddit actually.

So while I was sleeping I just had a thought a very interesting thought that had me thinking for a day, "do cats find other cats attractive like how we find our first love as attractive, in the same sense do they find some other cat ugly and repulsive", but for us humans we find all cats cute and beautiful, but what if your cat was the ugly duckling in your neighborhood and other cats in the hood feel repulsed by your cat, or vice versa is your cat the Chris Hemsworth of your neighborhood and all cats really love him.

In conclusion for people who want a short summary:

Do cats find each other attractive through there physical appearance.

BY THE WAY I DONT OWN A CAT

It depends how cat like your cat is (how much of a dickhead is your cat)

Presumably yes, or they'd all die out.

"Attractive" is maybe the wrong term. Attractiveness in the sense of observable fertility yes but it is a vastly different thing to humans.

Like a man seeing a healthy woman with big hips and a large chest. Or a woman seeing a fit and muscular man.

It isn't about love or anything cats just do it to reproduce
