Are you a cat person or a dog person? This is a fairly common question that people ask, and while there is no particular reason while you can’t absolutely be both, there is a reason why this query comes up so often.

You see, cats and dogs have fundamentally opposite personalities that can naturally lead to very different relationships with their humans. Cats are usually more independent, cunning and don’t particularly need your love and affection. On the other hand dogs are more social creatures, playful, friendly and dare we say it, a little dumb at times.

What better way to illustrate the many different experiences of cat and dog owners than a cleverly created comic? We here at Bored Panda have compiled a list of comics that we think perfectly sum up the quirky habits of our pooches and pussycats, we hope you’ll find them as hilariously true as we did. Let us know what you think in the comments below!

    My cat loves water. She jumps in the tub when I go to the bathroom, so one day I filled the tub and threw in some of her rubber toys. She just splashed around and had fun. Buuuut I've never given her a bath so maybe she'd hate me ::lol::

    I have a cat that drools puddles.  He's a big baby that needs to be held daily.  You have to lie in bed on your side where he flops on his back and you hold him in your arm and he'll nuzzle his head into your armpit/ chest and starts to drip drool the entire time while falling asleep.  And when he gets really comfortable, he stretches his entire body straight and ends up almost half your body length.

    Cats need not the approval or appreciation that we humans can - and often do - show as they beleive us to be inferior creatures. As we speak, cats are not only disrespecting our role but also taking over our luves, capital and internet. This is why one should always respect cats but also show dominance by tackling them in their specialized feild: Class of society and sophistication.
