my cats trust me

Would you wind between the legs of a creature that is not only 10 times your size, but also in a rather unsteady position?

Miss Spice lurves walking around under me when I'm doing wall slides. Either she has no sense of cause/effect or is confident that I won't slip to the floor, squishing her and causing her to make a loud noise/deploy pointy bits.

Nah, I think it's probably the same philosophy that guides her to sit in my lap ONLY when I'm at the computer or sewing machine :P

Based on my own experiences, I'd say it's Option A: cats have no functional understanding of cause and effect. They not only are unable to imaginatively project what might happen if they walk in front of or between the legs of a human carrying awkward loads that impede vision ... they are unable to remember what happened the last time they did so.

Oh, I quite agree - cats are brilliant in their ways but they are NOT rocket scientists :P
