This was my best showerthought I left on reddit. I didn’t want to leave it into the oblivion.

    True, although dogs are generally way better with their litter around humans than cats are

      Dogs are friendly social animals. Cats are solitary murderers who put up with people because they get fed and massaged.

        Domestic cats are actually a very social species, I read a couple studies on it, despite what the stereotypes make you believe. They’re just very aloof and picky with who they choose to bond with. I’ve had cats who desperately needed other cats, and I’ve had cats who really don’t like other cats, but those cats are extremely clingy with people instead.

        It’s also why feral cats are found in colonies and most vets and shelters will recommend having at least 2 cats because they actually need the companionship. It’s pretty interesting!

      That’s true. I’ve been around both. None were particularly aggressive to me but I was a kid when our dog had puppies but I know she was mean to mom. It was well known she didn’t like my mom though.
