That’s not gaslighting, that’s whataboutism.I think it’s more along the lines of cats gaslighting humans to care for them…that’s where I grew the comparison.
That isn’t what gaslighting is, though. Gaslighting isn’t simply emotional manipulation; it’s a specific kind.
You mean like manipulating humans into believing the cat is actually doing them a favor by occupying their home?
I do agree with you though, that comparison limps
You mean like manipulating humans into believing they are helpless animals that need to be brought in, and taken care of?
The specific kind of psychological manipulation in this case used by cats over millennia, by definition of the word, is gaslighting lol
