Now we need this but with a cat and the last panel reading “where the fuck have you been and where’s my damn food”

Do people who perpetuate this stereotype have cats? Because it seems like they don’t. My cat is psyched and affectionate as hell when I come home. All of my cats have been the same way.

I have two. One of them is like this, the other one is more affectionate.

I think a lot of people just don’t know how to read cats as well as dogs. Cats can be very aloof but still very loving and most people just know how to read body language from dogs more than cats. Knowing that when a cat gives you that narrow eyed glare and slow blinking is actually a sign of affection is a good indicator that cats are just weird little things.

A lot of people also just treat cats as they would dogs and are surprised they don’t get the same responses.

It’s more a case of me assuming that it’s obvious that it’s a stereotype. You might say I dropped an /s which in this case has a different meaning.

Maybe, but either way expect some people to call out when stereotypes aren’t very accurate.

Especially if we’ve been away longer our cat will just go nuts for us for days. Even just coming home from work she’ll come say hello and maybe give us a couple roll-arounds to greet us. I get that it’s not quite as obvious as dogs though and previous cats I’ve had were not so affective.

I read somewhere that on average 1 day of our life equates to 1 week for our beloved pups. I think of this everytime I’m feeling too lazy to engage with mine.

That’s as far as life expectancy goes, not in perception of time.

Fair point and I understand it. I simply meant that it is another data point that moves my emotions when I think about dogs general experience, like this comic highlights. Maybe too esoteric of a share lol.

Dogs sleep 16 hours per day. Imagine…

I try to remember that every day and cherish and spend time with her so that when it’s finally time for her to move on, I have no regrets that I could have done more.
