I feel like a racist if I don't treat my cat with care?

For example, if I throw a piece of food im eating at her, I feel awful. Often I pick the food up and give it to her on a plate, while petting her. If I laugh at her, I feel I need to apologiZe. I guess this is all because she is a different species who is living alone in a house full of humans… And she depends on us for survival. And she is not free to go out! So I feel like I need to treat her like a queen. Often I catch myself not doing so, and it makes me question my own goodness and human-nature. It makes me think us humans are evil.

Are these relatable? Do you think its similar to racism or any other discrimination when humans don’t treat other species perfectly, the ones who depend on them for everything?
