    My cat used to yell if he had gone a bit without seeing anyone. I would just call out “we’re right here!” and he’d prance into the room all happy to know we’re around.

    The comic seems to be misinterpreting cat language for dog language (like when dogs whine to get a reassuring touch/affection).

    Cats aren’t dogs. They don’t communicate like dogs. Don’t treat them like dogs then blame them for not behaving like a dog.

        Absolutely! It’s just sad to see people misunderstanding and looking down on cats because they don’t bother to learn their language.

      My cats were meant to be dogs. They prance up and scream, trill, or beep at us until we pet them. Then they flump down on the floor/bed and show their bellies, for extra pets. Forever. And if we stop…. We get the beeps.
