Sorry, I tend to get carried away a lot with writing.

I haven't spent a lot of time going through these, some are just too nutty, even for me. As usual, barely anything is known about the monk's actual life. But at least one item on the list stood out to me: "New species of animals will not obey man. Pets become enemies of man, as well study his character and habits."
It ended on this note: "Never forget, if you suffer, they suffer. Some even more so." I have linked this up with a strange dream which conveyed the message "whenever you make a mistake, someone else’s life suffers."
Speaking from personal experience, I have a distinct memory which has never left me, where I was very agitated, but I stopped when I made eye contact with some geese staring at me from across the room through the window. It occurred to me to consider how they must be feeling seeing a normally docile and introverted man behaving this way.
An user who used to document his premonitory dreams shared a very special one: https://old.reddit.com/r/Dreams/comments...opy_dream/ When he asked his reoccurring dream character about what will happen to the universe near the "end", the answer was:
"Everything that is big will become small, everything that is loud will become quiet, everything that is lively will become tired, everything that is clumped together will become spread out evenly."
For instance, in politics we've been seeing women becoming more active, more influential positions, while men are turning contemplative. It's perfectly natural for man to be occupied with ideas. The risk is that he'll end up in a world of plans, being reduced to a drone.
There are contemporary predictions of important women stepping up and playing a role in preventing total collapse. A Buddhist prophecy predicts, "When the Dharma is about to disappear, women will become vigorous and will at all times do deeds of virtue. Men will grow lax and will no longer speak the Dharma."
The Shurangama Sutra also has an interesting clause about the climate, which some insinuate is a modern invention, "The mighty rivers will flood and lose harmony with their natural cycles, yet people will not take notice or feel concern. Extremes of climate will soon be taken for granted."
The scientist Viktor Schauberger provides the corroboration for this. Recently, I was able to unearth similar testimony from antiquity through Tacitus, who gave an account of Roman citizens begging not to go through with damming their rivers:
"Nature had made the best provision for the interests of humanity, when she assigned to rivers their proper mouths — their proper courses — their limits as well as their origins."

Your cat sounds like he has developed sympathy beyond man, but also has admirable qualities people are instinctively drawn to.

He said that the more negative impressions are absorbed into its "base personality and temperament". When we get agitated, we don't notice how our mood affects our pets.

I think an animal's need to cohabit are indeed factors, but I think this trend should be explained along the lines of a general transitional period, where historic roles are reversed or inverted.

They are so sure that humans will provide for them, that they actually feel humans are obligated to provide for them, or they become hostile.Lol there was a scene in Saiki K which captures this smugness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smoia4vyXQc
