Pure light being

Where do y'all keep finding all these cats that suck

Ours are fucking stoked to see us and a lot of fun.

If your cat doesn’t have a undertone of “probably has satan on speed dial” your cat is doing a fantastic job of hiding their true nature and you need to be concerned for your safety because that cat has a mission.
- I get it's a joke, but I hear it so much, it makes me question what some of y'all are doing to your cats that this is the go-to joke.
  I've owned a lot of cats, as have my friends and family. They're all chill, and most open to affection. It's very rare to find one of these "Satan" cats. I legitimately can't keep my cats off me. I almost wish they hated me sometimes because their constant badgering for pets can get a little annoying.
I have one of each, both black female cats.
The first is an absolute angel. I've literally never seen her hiss, bite, or claw at another living being. Not even a bug. When she's walking on shelves or dressers, she's super careful not to knock anything over, and she never tries to steal food (but she will go for a sniff at an acceptable distance). She gets so excited to see me when I get home that she drools when I pet her.
Then the newest one is an absolute coin toss. She flip-flops between being the sweet little angel that brings you her mouse asking to play fetch, and a spawn of Satan that will look you dead in the eyes as she knocks a full glass of water off of your nightstand.
- Please tell both of them I adore them and that they are both very good at being cats!
I feel like Satan here is more like "yeah, and I made an even better one, pure darkness, pure joy"
One of my cats is one of the sweetest animals I have ever met and very affectionate.
The other cat is a complete and utter bitch. A living terror. She will lay in the middle of the floor waiting for you to walk by so she can swipe at your ankles with full claws out. She will pur and get all lovey for dinner, then she'll swipe at you as you put the bowl down, then pur while she eats.
- Sounds like your monster cat would like more play time. I also have one of each of those, with added nibbling.
Mine is more like "MOTHER FUCKER WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! HOW DARE YOU LEAVE MY PRESENCE. NOW WITNESS MY BUTTHOLE CLEANSING!"
MEOW MEEEEEOWWWW meow licks butthole in the middle of the room
- Some cats have a way of cleaning themselves that is the most passive-aggressive thing I've ever seen. Like, they'll do it when another cat is trying to play fight with them as a way of telling the other cat to back the fuck off.
Great question - during the pandemic there were a lot of memes about how dogs are loving the humans being home all day, while cats were hating it. Our cats were glad to have us home all day (as was the dog, who kept demanding walks at odd times until he settled into the new routine).
When we get home from errands, the dog will of course be at the door - and there's about a 85% chance the one cat will be nearby, too. Another cat will often show up as well. (The third cat, never. He's too busy hiding.)
They don't suck. A lot of death metal bands don't suck but they just act a certain evil way. That's cats for the most part. I did have one that would come up to me, roll over and want a belly rub like a dog, but that's not the most typical experience.
I had a pretty awesome cat who was fun and happy to see me, I’d still put him in that final panel though.
Right? This whole “cats bad/evil/hellions/selfish” trope is boring and wrong. Like, how do you treat your cats? All of mine have been love bug, cuddle bug sweethearts. I’ve met some cats who are annoying mischief makers, but I think a lot of that depends on the people.
- Garfield and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race
There are definitely sweet cats. Most are assholes in my experience, though. Still love 'em.
i looove my cats they are awesome but they only really do what they want. I'm lucky they only want to be nice babies but when threy get angry (if i travel for example) they will pee around the house, throw things from the shelfs, step on my food etc
It's vastly more that dog owners have a fetish for self-congratulation and constantly have to sniff their own farts over how special and perfect their "fur babies" are.
- You must be fun at parties
The second your cat knows you've died, it's gonna eat your corpse. A dog would probably starve to death instead.
- Dog would start eating you as well once it gets hungry enough
- Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

I know this is a joke, but a bad dog is so much more of a problem than a bad cat. (Not counting feral animals)

Bad cat: angry, wants you to leave them the fuck alone, scratches you at the slightest provocation

Bad dog: hyperactive or jumps all over you or barks at you, can seriously injure or kill you.

Our society takes for granted that you can take your dog anywhere (in Australia at least), and I don't think enough emphasis is placed on the fact if you can't 100% control your dog, don't bring it anywhere near people.

The number of people saying "oh he's friendly" as their dog scares someone afraid of dogs because they're jumping up on them is stupid.

This society values dogs more, and I just don't get it.

This makes me angry, when it happens. I happen to be huge, and adore dogs, so I hide it well.
Folks with dogs that jump up on people, need to keep those dogs away from other people. Others didn't sign up to have an out of control animal jumping all over them. Doesn't matter if the animal is friendly or not.
- Agreed. While I love dogs like crazy, and personally don't mind it (I'm big enough that it's not a problem), I only think it's OK if it's a puppy who isn't old enough to have learned yet... and even then they need to be trained, or they won't behave later.
I see "good" dogs constantly jumping on people, scratching them, biting their fingers when they get too happy, barking at anything and everyone, and being entirely unpredictable. I personally really dislike dogs and I have never found an owner that actually keeps their dog from jumping on me.
Dogs are not inherently good and most are very dangerous.
I don't have to be cautious with my infant around cats, but I definitely do around dogs.
- I’d say their owners are terrible, though. The dogs might not be well disciplined, but that really isn’t their fault.
  (Unless the dog is aggressive. Then it might be. It also probably shitty owners, too.)
- I mean I would still supervise it, I wouldn't trust an infant to not do something that would cause the cat to get stressed and scratch. Kid could easily lose an eye.
- Doggos are good, their owners suck ass. Also
  I don’t have to be cautious with my infant around cats
  Lemme just take a second to calm down, with all the stories of jealous cats literally murdering toddlers.
  Edit: Also, to put more behind first part - I was a dog owner for a long time, had a big street mix doggo, lovable goofball but...when he liked someone, he worked like a bowling ball. Which with his mass actually even looked similiary if he was let free. But he wasn't let free often, because as an owner it was my job to make sure doggo doesn't bother other people - something a lot of folks apparently forget about.
I am happy to live in cat country. Happy as long as Voenkom's dog is not after me.
Wow, that is a very pessimistic view you've brought into this thread about a cute and funny comic.
- Get out of here with your toxic-positivity, man.

You don't get to take credit for that. We've been selectively breeding dogs for 30,000 years to get them to where they are today!

Cats are only sort of domesticated, and they chose to do it. Mostly they stay with us for the benefits.

So what I'm hearing is, we Stockholm syndrome'd dogs into loving us, but cats chose to love us... So who offers the real unconditional love?
- I think its more we've enslaved dogs and we hire cats on a freelance basis.
- Both can, but dogs are more likely to because of the breeding. I'd say it still qualifies, since most dogs do not automatically like all humans. You'd have to disqualify a child's love that you raised as well, otherwise.
We mostly just kept them around for the benefits as well! As agriculture took off, rats and mice became a problem, so we'd let cats hang around to take care of them. This was just a few thousand years ago, vs. the tens of thousands of years of selective breeding of wolves!
- Yes, it was a mutually beneficial relationship. But while we've been breeding dogs for so long that they'll die for us, cats are much less obsequious.
- You really gotta hand it to cats - they attached themselves to the dominant species on the planet. Smart! Dogs we chose to let live with us.
In the cat/human relationship, the jury is still out on which species domesticated the other...
- We'll never know for sure, but just knowing how cats are today, I believe the hypothesis that they initiated it. The idea that people went out and brought in wild cats to keep down the rodent population doesn't seem as likely as cats going where the food is and people tolerating them because they killed the rodents (and the kittens being cute also probably helped).

At least cats are never cops.

Shit, I'm a dog person and you've got me rethinking things.
Dogs aren't cops, dogs are brainwashed by cops. Dogs are essentially trafficked victims of police. The dog just wants to be a good boy, it's not the dog's fault the pigs have been teaching it to nark on bullshit.

As I clicked on this "comic" my black cat tapped me with her paw for scritches. Now she will sit on my lap for a few hours until I have to inevitably get up. I feel bad for people who have this perception that cats are evil, I don't get it.

I agree. I know it's mostly just a meme, but still. I love cats and they're such sweet babies.
- My cat is a sweet baby, until you pet her 1/4 inch too close to the line near her belly that's invisible and keeps moving. When you do that she turns into a furry squirming angry thing that's sharp on 5 of its 6 points.

Hail Catan!

Trade sheep for wood!
- Go fish (from your port)

I choose the hell demon spawn. I wonder what that says about me? Oh wait, no I don't.:-P

ITT: Cat people getting upset at a dumb joke.

... Classic cat people I guess

Am a cat person, loved the joke. It is quite accurate.
I have an all black trash gobblin who only knows chaos and hate. I named him Luci...I've got pictures of him literally sleeping on a contractor garbage bag.... despite his goddamn soft bed next to the bag ..(I was cleaning)

Dunno where it came about to associate cats with evil but they mustve been severely butthurt and drunk to reach that conclusion

Dog cult continues being weird and self-congratulatory

I absolutely fucking despise all dogs, including my gf's that I live with, so I have to disagree here.

The dog forgives you anyway.
It’s okay, you’re just a cat person.
- The dog is aggressive towards me at the slightest inconvenience and pisses all over my rented carpet 😃
Sounds like a you problem.
- The angel didn't design for me I guess :/
