Aren't we humans odd?

We voluntarily let small predators into our homes, we feed them meat even at times when we ourselves eat none, play at hunting with them, cuddle them, and love them with all our hearts.

I wonder why we do it? And don't tell me it's because they originally were useful with hunting our prey, or hunting vermin. Cows are useful as well, but we don't love them, and we don't keep them in flats where there are no sheep to guard, and no mice to hunt.

There must be something special about humans and furry predators.
