Scientist: Cats think Humans are just big stupid cats.

[Godzilla2000]

It's nice to know I belong to one clique that accepts me as I am, albeit they consider me a big dumb version of them but still. It's better treatment than I get from most human bleating sheep anyway.

Ignoring another creature 85% of the day is affection? In what corner of the animal kingdom is that happening.

Well the human kingdom of course! We call it marriage

This is like saying that humans kiss people, and humans kiss dogs, therefore humans must think dogs are (very stupid) people. Maybe cats treat us the way they do because it's the only way they know how to show affection.

A lot of people treat dogs exactly like that.

I'm sure they treat people like big clumsy cats since that's all they know. By comparison that's exactly true. Who knows if that's how they actually view us, though.

thats like the equivalent of a the shy, awkward, guy, who's to nervous to approach the girl he likes

lol cats have such a sass about them. They wait for you to feed them, come over when they want to be pet, then turn away and sleep under a bed for 12 hours.

Kittens are fun, cats are buttholes.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

To think we are big and stupid, I can understand, and willingly have acceptance of this as truth
But for them to think we are cats is hard to swallow

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

this is kinda sad.

Of course cats see us as big, furless cats. That's why they knead on us, lick us and tolerate our presence. When a cat brings you a half-dead mouse or bird and lays it at your feet, she's trying to teach you how to hunt and kill prey the way she would teach a kitten. If the animals are DOA, she's given up on teaching you to hunt because you're too stupid, but she doesn't want you to starve. Just thank her kindly and finish your supper, like a good kitten.

My cat brings me half-alive critters. I checked one over, decided it was ok enough to be let go, so I did. And she brought it back to me. She chirped at me, and smacked the poor little ground squirrel down. So I caught it and kept it in a box until I could get my cat into the house.

The ground squirrel wasn't too badly injured, so I did the best I could to clean it up, and let it go. I'm pretty sure the little guy survived.

Another time, Noelle was outside, and I called her to come in. She made a bunch of chirps and meows at me, went to a little shrub, and came trotting over with a dead rabbit in her mouth. A full grown rabbit. She laid the thing at my feet, and if she'd been a human, she would have done a little flourish with it, she was that proud of herself.

Cats are the only animals people try to impress.

 

[KevanG]

I've had cats bring home dead things before then stalk over and rub against you. I was never quite sure if that was a threat I'd be next or what.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

it was a gift, and you deeply offended the cat gods, by not accepting an eating that gift

 

[Tempest]

My cat likes cake. Not to eat. To sit near.

Or on. She's sat on two.

Apparently they are very comfortable.

Cats love to troll us. I troll them right back though.

Every year I read or learn something new about cats that reaffirm my recent believes that cats are faaaaar stupider than dogs. Myth busted

this was revolutionary.

 

[BrollySupersj]

I miss my cat. But my mom is taking good care of her and I get a lot of pictures.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Hah! The jokes on cats, because I think they're really just small stupid people!!

the fact that you think of them as people at all is still a compliment

Cats >>>>> Gerbils > Dogs

I always thought cats rubbed against you, and kneaded their claws into you because they were using their scent glands to mark you. I've had cats practically drooling while doing it. Now every time my cat rubs his head against me I'm going to feel like he either thinks I'm dumb, or his mother....neither option sets well.


Side note, small dogs and big dogs think they're all the same size. That's why ankle biters stand up to everything, and huge dogs try to get on your lap.

Second side note, house cats have the biggest prey list of all cats (remember hearing this on Discovery channel I think). Like Lions eat Gazelle's, Hippo's (if they're lucky), and a few other things. House cats kill (not usually to eat) grasshoppers, mice, flies, lizards, beetles, birds, moles, rabbits, rats, ect, ect, ect.

Oh...I know the above kill chart too well. Had this really sweet cat when I was younger, loved attention, very gentle. Then one day he brings in a mouse. Everytime I get close to put it back outside he runs off with it, then brings it back near my shoes again. Eventually I hear a squeak. At this point it's entrails are hanging out of it's stomach (it's still alive). He's laying on his side, hugging it to his stomach with one arm, and purring. I distracted him, got the poor mouse, and put it out of his misery.


As for an a dog story, I had my dog play mother once. I lived just a bit outside of town at this point in time. I opened the door to let my dog use the bathroom in the backyard. This opossum runs in while the doors open unattended. So I put on oven mitts, and I'm trying to catch it (like I want to risk disease, heh). I had to look ridiculous because I'm using a broom to corner it, and inching very slowly towards it. My dog trots in, looks at the opossum, looks at me, looks back at it. Very casually strolls up to it, gently bites it's ribs, picks it up, looks at me, and drops it at my feet. It runs off the second he lets go. The he goes, picks it up again, and drops it back at my feet, and I grab it this time.

It was like a mother dog teaching her pups to hunt. This is also the same male dog that thought he was a litter of kittens mother. We had them in a box, and they learned to crawl out. He was running around in the hall panicked, back and forth, back and forth. I go to check, and he's nosing the kittens very gently back towards the box, and making a worried sound the whole time.
