we have a special relationship with cats. we feed and house them, and in return they act as a constant reminder of what we should be. suck it, dogs :P

My cat spends the entire day hiding from my dog, occasionally sitting on the other side of the room as him taunting him.

My dog desperately wants to be the cats friend.

Every morning my cat slowly gets into my bed to lick my head to let me know the sun is up and his crunchies are empty, and he now smacks the shit out of the dog before running off to start his day.

Idk if he’s a constant reminder of what I should be, but he’s definitely a constant.

aww, we don't have a /c/catsareassholes yet! i'd create it myself, but i don't have the time nor temperament to moderate a community.

Getting a dog to like you is easy, but a cat…a cat you have to earn their affection.

Cats are like people, they get overstimulated and build relationships (they can also have trauma). Also getting a cat to like you is easy if you know how to communicate with cats.
