I read somewhere that cats see grooming another cat as domineering behavior. So cats are basically telling you what to do and to get a better job/get your shit together

If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"
Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.
Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.
We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.
See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.

Every scientific headline I see about cats just confirms what cat owners already know.
Use to have cats that would do that lol. Grooming just to be a twit and start a fight!
Oh, absolutely. My cat will often start grooming the other just to start a fight.
I feel like almost every bit of research that comes out just proves cats are assholes.
like we dont love them for it. be honest youve pet a cat just to annoy them before. my cats definitely yell at me just to annoy me. when they do it i sometimes annoy them by picking them up and giving them lots of kisses or turning them upside down lol. the joy of living with cats is their complex personalities, and part of that is them being kind of an asshole sometimes, but turnabout is fair play.
Real cat owner here.
"almost"?!?
Some of it is inconclusive
...inconclusive because they are assholes.
Omg my one cat is this bitch, he will groom my other cat and then bite them. He will also lick my leg to annoy the hell out of me no matter how hard i protest it. Love that fucker to death tho.
One of ours does the same, it look so cute and then - BITE. After 5 years the other cat have started to just hiss at him after af few licks.
My cat will do this to me sometimes - fucking painful to keep licking the same spot
Kids acting nice just to be annoying.
