It was my understanding that we give off pheromones they can smell. And since they think we're their dumber and uglier cousins, they feel empathetic and like to pity us.
Or was this for dogs? I forget.
Anyway, our biological limitations prevent us from fully understanding each other, yet even so, we can commiserate in the portions we do understand.
