I feel like a lot of ppl expect a cat to act exactly like a different goddamn animal. “Why isn’t my cat as affectionate/loving/loyal as a dog?” Uh maybe cause it ISN’T A DOG??? They communicate in different ways but that doesn’t mean cats are incapable of being affectionate loving pets?? Either learn to spot those cues or don’t even bother getting a cat
My kitties are so loving and loyal, my boy follows me like a shadow haha. Tbf I used to dislike them because all my friends’ cats growing up were mean as hell, so I assumed they were all like that. Turns out they were just in terrible environments where their boundaries were constantly being violated so they’d lash out. I also grew up with a dog and believed that too
