At least cats are never cops.
Shit, I’m a dog person and you’ve got me rethinking things.
Dogs aren’t cops, dogs are brainwashed by cops. Dogs are essentially trafficked victims of police. The dog just wants to be a good boy, it’s not the dog’s fault the pigs have been teaching it to nark on bullshit.
As I clicked on this “comic” my black cat tapped me with her paw for scritches. Now she will sit on my lap for a few hours until I have to inevitably get up. I feel bad for people who have this perception that cats are evil, I don’t get it.
I agree. I know it’s mostly just a meme, but still. I love cats and they’re such sweet babies.
My cat is a sweet baby, until you pet her 1/4 inch too close to the line near her belly that’s invisible and keeps moving. When you do that she turns into a furry squirming angry thing that’s sharp on 5 of its 6 points.
I know this is a joke, but a bad dog is so much more of a problem than a bad cat. (Not counting feral animals)
Bad cat: angry, wants you to leave them the fuck alone, scratches you at the slightest provocation
Bad dog: hyperactive or jumps all over you or barks at you, can seriously injure or kill you.
Our society takes for granted that you can take your dog anywhere (in Australia at least), and I don’t think enough emphasis is placed on the fact if you can’t 100% control your dog, don’t bring it anywhere near people.
The number of people saying “oh he’s friendly” as their dog scares someone afraid of dogs because they’re jumping up on them is stupid.
This society values dogs more, and I just don’t get it.
The number of people saying “oh he’s friendly” as their dog scares someone afraid of dogs because they’re jumping up on them is stupid.
This makes me angry, when it happens. I happen to be huge, and adore dogs, so I hide it well.
Folks with dogs that jump up on people, need to keep those dogs away from other people. Others didn’t sign up to have an out of control animal jumping all over them. Doesn’t matter if the animal is friendly or not.
Agreed. While I love dogs like crazy, and personally don’t mind it (I’m big enough that it’s not a problem), I only think it’s OK if it’s a puppy who isn’t old enough to have learned yet… and even then they need to be trained, or they won’t behave later.
I see “good” dogs constantly jumping on people, scratching them, biting their fingers when they get too happy, barking at anything and everyone, and being entirely unpredictable. I personally really dislike dogs and I have never found an owner that actually keeps their dog from jumping on me.
Dogs are not inherently good and most are very dangerous.
I don’t have to be cautious with my infant around cats, but I definitely do around dogs.
I’d say their owners are terrible, though. The dogs might not be well disciplined, but that really isn’t their fault.
(Unless the dog is aggressive. Then it might be. It also probably shitty owners, too.)
Doggos are good, their owners suck ass. Also
I don’t have to be cautious with my infant around cats
Lemme just take a second to calm down, with all the stories of jealous cats literally murdering toddlers.
Edit: Also, to put more behind first part - I was a dog owner for a long time, had a big street mix doggo, lovable goofball but…when he liked someone, he worked like a bowling ball. Which with his mass actually even looked similiary if he was let free. But he wasn’t let free often, because as an owner it was my job to make sure doggo doesn’t bother other people - something a lot of folks apparently forget about.
“all these stories of jealous cats literally murdering toddlers” bro what.
Cats probably shouldn’t be left unsupervised around babies (not should any animal, really) because they love sources of heat and could potentially cause a child to suffocate, but I found absolutely zero actual documented cases of this happening, let anyone any cases of any cat maliciously murdering a toddler.
The case of sleeping on child to death is new to me, quite interesting. But no - i literally mean cats ending children when parents start to focus more on the little one. However…I lived surrounded by this for quite a while, but I actually can’t find much on the net too. I really hope this ends as some rumor.
Wow, that is a very pessimistic view you’ve brought into this thread about a cute and funny comic.
Get out of here with your toxic-positivity, man.
Where do y’all keep finding all these cats that suck
Ours are fucking stoked to see us and a lot of fun.
I have one of each, both black female cats.
The first is an absolute angel. I’ve literally never seen her hiss, bite, or claw at another living being. Not even a bug. When she’s walking on shelves or dressers, she’s super careful not to knock anything over, and she never tries to steal food (but she will go for a sniff at an acceptable distance). She gets so excited to see me when I get home that she drools when I pet her.
Then the newest one is an absolute coin toss. She flip-flops between being the sweet little angel that brings you her mouse asking to play fetch, and a spawn of Satan that will look you dead in the eyes as she knocks a full glass of water off of your nightstand.
Please tell both of them I adore them and that they are both very good at being cats!
Absolutely! ;3
If your cat doesn’t have a undertone of “probably has satan on speed dial” your cat is doing a fantastic job of hiding their true nature and you need to be concerned for your safety because that cat has a mission.
I get it’s a joke, but I hear it so much, it makes me question what some of y’all are doing to your cats that this is the go-to joke.
I’ve owned a lot of cats, as have my friends and family. They’re all chill, and most open to affection. It’s very rare to find one of these “Satan” cats. I legitimately can’t keep my cats off me. I almost wish they hated me sometimes because their constant badgering for pets can get a little annoying.
Depends on how they were trained, if they aren’t actively used to lots of human touch early on the default mode for cats is “pets on my schedule, if I feel like it”.
I don’t… think it’s bad? Such cats aren’t unhappy or evil, they just don’t crave affection which kinda makes sense for a barely domesticated species whose wild counterpart is non-social. Raising a cat to be cuddly definitely goes against its innate instincts.
Mine is more like “MOTHER FUCKER WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! HOW DARE YOU LEAVE MY PRESENCE. NOW WITNESS MY BUTTHOLE CLEANSING!”
MEOW MEEEEEOWWWW meow licks butthole in the middle of the room
I feel like Satan here is more like “yeah, and I made an even better one, pure darkness, pure joy”
Right? This whole “cats bad/evil/hellions/selfish” trope is boring and wrong. Like, how do you treat your cats? All of mine have been love bug, cuddle bug sweethearts. I’ve met some cats who are annoying mischief makers, but I think a lot of that depends on the people.
Garfield and it’s consequences have been a disaster for the human race
One of my cats is one of the sweetest animals I have ever met and very affectionate.
The other cat is a complete and utter bitch. A living terror. She will lay in the middle of the floor waiting for you to walk by so she can swipe at your ankles with full claws out. She will pur and get all lovey for dinner, then she’ll swipe at you as you put the bowl down, then pur while she eats.
Sounds like your monster cat would like more play time. I also have one of each of those, with added nibbling.
It’s vastly more that dog owners have a fetish for self-congratulation and constantly have to sniff their own farts over how special and perfect their “fur babies” are.
You must be fun at parties
ITT: Cat people getting upset at a dumb joke.
… Classic cat people I guess
Am a cat person, loved the joke. It is quite accurate.
You don’t get to take credit for that. We’ve been selectively breeding dogs for 30,000 years to get them to where they are today!
Cats are only sort of domesticated, and they chose to do it. Mostly they stay with us for the benefits.
I absolutely fucking despise all dogs, including my gf’s that I live with, so I have to disagree here.
The dog forgives you anyway.
It’s okay, you’re just a cat person.
The dog is aggressive towards me at the slightest inconvenience and pisses all over my rented carpet 😃
If a human of another ethnicity did this and you used it as an excuse to hate all of them, what would that say about you?
If any human pisses on my carpet, I would get angry as well.
Damn you’re right. Humans and another, separate species without the capacity for rational thought, whom I hate for a plethora of reasons beyond the carpet pissing, are exactly equivalent. Guess I’m dog racist 🤷♂️
Maybe if you spent more time getting to know the dog on his terms, and then started training him once he respected you, you would come to realize you are choosing to hate this dog.
Such a fascinating position you choose to be part of. Does your gf know you hate dogs so much? How did she end up getting a dog knowing this? Why would you date her knowing the dog comes with it? Why wouldn’t you talk it out with her and come to some sort of compromise?
He does respect me, and I have been training him. He has improved a lot in many areas. His aggression towards me has even improved substantially over the past couple months. I’ve also gotten him to stop pissing on the carpet. I just hate every second of it. Dogs are disgusting shitbeasts who emulate feelings of connectedness despite having zero self-awareness or rational thought. They are basically biological automatons with no soul. I’m convinced the only people who like dogs more than people just have unresolved trauma, and see dogs as a “safe” option compared to people. I fucking hate these animals with every fiber of my being.
She knows I hate dogs. She got a dog because she literally will not get out of bed in the morning unless she has something to guilt her into doing so. She has medical issues and severe mental illness. I respect this because I’m a good partner, and don’t take my anger out on her or the dog. Is it fair to me or healthy? No. I think I might leave her over the dog.
To be fair, I didn’t know I hated them this much until I had to start living with one. I thought I could handle it, even like it, and I was totally wrong. Now we’re probably out at least 10k to replace the subflooring if I can’t scrub the carpet clean, and I can’t, even with enzyme cleaners and pet urine-cleaning carpet shampoo. Every time I try to bring it up my gf will literally yell at me to stop talking about it and then walk away. She can’t handle the stress so I’m all alone.
Edit: Before you ask, no, she doesn’t help with the carpet unless I specifically request it, despite it being her dog. Her medical issues do not impede her from helping with the carpet whatsoever.
Bro, this response is actually crazy
I think they’re just trying to point out that not all dogs are like the one you’ve experienced.
It’s entirely valid to not like them, but genuinely hating all of them on principal does seem kind of overboard.
Nah bro, comparing not liking dogs to racism is actually crazy…
Dog haters have never committed generational war crimes because they don’t like dogs.
There are better ways to say “not all dogs are the same” than “Imagine saying that about a black person” or sth. I just did.
There are animal haters that poison them. It’s not entirely a false equivalency.
The issue with it mainly comes from dogs being a different species while humans are still just humans and someones skin color has no significant correlation to their behaviour.
It’s still similarly stupid to hate all dogs by default because dogs still have personalities and some can be just fine. And I say this as someone that doesn’t like most dogs either.
Hail Catan!
