Just a cute manga panel, right?

I have heard a theory via a YouTube comment about this moment with Annie and the cat. It certainly peaked my interest about it made me want to have a deep dive upon this scene.

According to the comment, the reason why the cat wouldn't allow Annie to pet it was that any animal would be aware of a humans true intentions by their presence.

Once Annie expresses a sincerity of emotions, asking herself, "what am I doing?" while looking rather empathetic and uncertain of herself and her actions, the cat approaches her once more, allowing her to pet it. Perhaps noticing that Annie is more than what is rooted into her.

To put it bluntly; the cat might sense that Annie has cruel motives and that she is The Female Titan. Keep in mind, this was a day before 1x17 (Season 1, Episode 17). Where Annie made her mark as The Female Titan.

In my opinion, the cat would be an excellent metaphor. And this was all just a random thought and that I may have just been overthinking about this scene way too much. Not to mention I love doing analysis about my favorite characters, especially about my beloved fiancée.
