A five-year-old child, Carver, sent Baby Yoda to firefighters in Oregon to thank them for all of their efforts.

They now take him everywhere:

Thank you, firefighters! šŸ™

This is the most wholesome thing I have ever seen. šŸ„ŗā™„ļø

I feel like the reason certain dog-lovers insist cats are evil is because they read their body language as if they were dogs. So hereā€™s a very basic guide to common ā€œmeanā€ things cats do that actually arenā€™t mean at all if you know what theyā€™re thinking.

Rolling and exposing belly- attacks you when touched Does not mean: Give belly rubs! - haha I tricked you!Ā  Actually means: Iā€™m playful! If you reach for my belly Iā€™ll grab your arm and bite it because I think weā€™re playfighting!Ā 

Lazily exposing belly - still attacks when touched Does not mean: tricked you again! Actually means: Iā€™m showing you my belly because I trust you. Please donā€™t break that trust by invading my personal space. I might accept a belly rub if Iā€™m not ticklish and I know you well. Snapping at you while being pet Does not mean: I suddenly decided I dislike you! Actually means: Youā€™re petting me in a way that gives me too much restless energy. Please focus on petting my head and shoulders instead of stroking the full length of my back next time.

Is in the same room but makes no attempt to interact Does not mean: Ā Iā€™m ignoring you Actually means: Weā€™re hanging out! Iā€™m being respectful by giving you space while still enjoying your company. Slapping/scratching your hand when you try to pet them Does not mean: I hate you! Actually means: Youā€™ve failed to establish that weā€™re not playing, or the way youā€™re approaching me scares me. Be calmer, speak more gently, make eye-contact and blink slowly at me before you try again.

I love this post omg, thank you so much. As a lifelong cat person, dogs perplex me because theyā€™re so completely different behaviourally.

I love dogs too but, Iā€™ve been trying to tell people, you canNOT treat cats like you treat dogs. They arent the same animals and have very different personalities

P.s.: people often pet cats way too hard. Dogs like a firm pet or a pat on the belly, cats dont have the same bone structure and are more flexible than dogs so what youā€™re doing probably hurts them

Sitting and staring Does not mean: I am challenging you/plotting your demise/just generally evil and creepy. Actually means: I am a desert-adapted species, so my natural tears are very thick and keep my eyes moist for a nice long time. I do find people interesting and enjoy watching them.Ā  I just donā€™t need to blink very often!

Staring and blinking slowly Does not mean: Iā€™m smug and think I am smarter than you. Actually means: I like you! But I donā€™t need to get up in your face to show it.Ā  I can just sit over here and blow kisses at you to show you I am glad you are around!

Itā€™s very frustrating for me when people expect cats to act like dogs, or act like theyā€™re deceitful.Ā  They arenā€™t!Ā  They just ARENā€™T DOGS.
