12 Funny Comics Reveal The Reality Of Owning A Cat

too much :)

yep

Mine actually gets super interested lol. I have a dog as well so he probably doesn't relate dogs to ultimate enemies and if I come home smelling of another dog he'll spend forever curiosly smelling me all over then start licking to leave his own smell instead XD

Well, personally, I'm a dog-person and an introvert, but I think that most of the time your comment is true.

For me I feel like it's the opposite - I'm an introvert and a dogs person because I like having my dog to keep me company and to take for walks in the evenings. My friend is an extrovert and a cat person because she likes to go out all the time to social activities, not leaving much time to give attention and exercise to a dog, but good for an independent cat.

I'm in between an introvert and an extrovert and I'm a dog AND cat person XD

I just ended up making my dog an introvert with me XD

I think there are factors that lead to being a good dog owner and also an extrovert, and factors that lead to being a good cat owner and also an introvert (for an appropriately inaccurate definition of "owner" in both cases). It takes energy and social interaction to keep a dog happy. In general, they want to you to be the leader of the household pack, and the desire and ability to maintain that sort of leadership is, I think, easier for extroverts. There are dogs who are exceptions, of course, who are totally chill and fine with just hanging out together without either of you taking the lead, but, on the whole, most dogs would rather follow your lead. Cats, on the other hand, are more used to living in colonies that don't have leaders, per se. They'll have cats who have higher status and are used to getting their way, but a felis silvestris colony is a little more of an autonomous collective than a dog pack. Which works better for introverts. Again, there are exceptions.

I think a lot of introverts (perhaps not the extreme ones I guess) actually prefer dogs because with dogs you can still have the social interaction that you do need, but without all the issues of interacting with a human ;P

Curious to hear about bird people (proud birb owner, introvert)

My husband and I are both quite introverted. We have four cats... :-)

I'm personally a cat/snake person, mainly because their very solitary, like myself.

i know it is the stereotype but it is wrong haha

I'm a cat lover, and I'm so extroverted I make other extroverts uncomfortable!

I'm an animal person, I have cats and dogs and wouldn't mind adopting other animals if I had the time and money to give them the awesome life they deserve, and I'm an introvert. I grew up with dogs, so I think there's no relation :)

i think of myself as an extrovert, and although I love both cats and dogs I typically think of myself as a cat person. not sure if this is abnormal or not!

Ugh...squiggly 🐍 snakes

Me too, one day I went home crying,(I think my friend bullied me.) and my little orange kitty(I forgot her name!!!!) tried to play with me.Then I went to sleep. When I woke up, my kitty had slept on my stomach, then I felt better, and hugged my cat.

Absolutely, we have seen it with our cats. You have to see them do it to understand how creepy it is.

Yup, if he doesn't like it then it's his loss.

It is not!

Cats, dogs, really any shelter animal will likely make a much better companion than anything you can buy. Also holds true with human relationships as well.

Be sure you can afford vet bills if you adopt a special needs cat. I had a wonderful, lovely, diabetic kitty, and ended up having to take out a $5000 loan in the long run. Totally worth it, but something to think about.

We have a big black cat and he loves belly rubs! My husband will ask him if he wants a belly rub and that cat will flop down on his side. I also pet-sat a cat that was notoriously aggressive when being pet. By the end of the week she was enjoying belly rubs. It takes the right cat and the right person. Our other cat pretends she wants a belly rub but the second you try you’ve been bit or scratched.

Yep, I've got one. He prefers I use my foot so I get lots of practice standing on one leg. And looking like an idiot.

My black kitty is the same

Yes i have 4 cats and the fattest one loves a belly rub, you only have to touch her belly and she rolls over and purrs immediately, the others, however, are normal cats and hate the belly being touched.
