I like dogs. They're friendly and engaging; just wanting some loving. *acting the cat* Cats, on the other hand, will occasionally brush up against you but their attitude is different. Like, "Hey Buddy! Yeah, just stroke my back like a good master will ya?" A dog on the other hand is much more humble. *dog* He'll come up and sit there giving you "the look" "Hi. Did I say I love today? Well I do." Dogs like playing with you too. They run around you all excited And they'll do that Pretend Bite thing. Where they just sort of open their mouth and put their teeth against you. Cats usually have their fun by themselves, cuz that's the way they like it. Bounceing around vertically attacking little balls. Or vandalizing your couch as they sharpen up their claws. You can get right in there with your dog and he's all for it. You can grab him and roll him over and stuff. "No problem I don't mind if you push me around some". Now the cat. No no no no no. Cat considers you engaging her an interruption to her play time. Oh and start grabbing or pushing her over and out come those couch sharpened claws. And if you don't stop? Then her ears go all flat and angry and she starts that double back leg rabbit kick scratching. Usually adding in some biting to get the point across. *cat* "Look fool, I'm not a Dog?! Cut it out!" Anyway I find dogs more social than cats. They are even more social with each other. You'll be out with your dog and meet up with another dog. I like to imaging what they would be saying to each other. Sometimes they’ll have a quick bark to establish who’s the Type A personality And with that much established in this new relationship, they move on to the next level... "Let me smell your ass" "Ok, Let me smell your ass" I think dogs smelling each others asses is like exchanging resumes Hi my name is Buck, I also go by Bucky And uhh.... yeah if you’d like to know some more... Smell this...:2thumbsup:
I have seen this so many times---if a cat comes into a room with a bunch of people, the cat will damn near inevitably go to the person that doesn't like cats.
Cats are individuals. Lots are very social, some are not. My manx cats used to always come out to greet guests. I'm kitty deprived right now, can't have 'em where I live. The neighbor cats come to visit sometimes though
I've had many cats. Most were cats I saved from one thing or another. They all seem to have had their little quirks and individual personalities. Love 'em. I've had cats that were scared of just about everything and a few that have jumped right in the middle of dogs that have crossed the line. Especially with kittens.
I find this to be mostly true, it's like cats put up with living with us. Our main value to them is feeding them and keeping the litter clean lol!
I'm afraid we spoil our Lab terribly, but he keeps us active, always up for a hike in the woods..... No cats, dog is allergic to them.....
