The bastard thinks she is so fancy in her enormous tree. The criminal knows she can use her good looks to get whatever she wants.

I would trust that face with my life

You would be a fool because she’s just waiting for you to get snackies or open the door to the yard and then...she will act.

I have been blessed by this angel of mischief

She would agree with you.

She looks like she has one braincell total, and I would absolutely die for her

Single brain cell and it’s for committing crimes

But adorable crimes

This is false knocking over the trash can is not adorable

cats think they can get away with anything if they just meow pathetically and blink their huge dumb baby eyes and they’re right. my cat could rip my throat out in my sleep and i’d still try to call him my sweet baby bastard and pet his soft furry tummy as i exsanguinated on the carpet.

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 here’s a very basic guide to common “mean” things cats do that actually aren’t mean at all if you know what they’re thinking.

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

Lazily exposing belly - still attacks when touched Does not mean: tricked you again! Actually means: I’m showing you my belly because I trust you. Please don’t break that trust by invading my personal space. I might accept a belly rub if I’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: You’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:  I’m ignoring you Actually means: We’re hanging out! I’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: You’ve failed to establish that we’re not playing, or the way you’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 they’re so completely different behaviourally.

I love dogs too but, I’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 you’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.  I just don’t need to blink very often!

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

It’s very frustrating for me when people expect cats to act like dogs, or act like they’re deceitful.  They aren’t!  They just AREN’T DOGS.

Cats will often squint their eyes and look at you which looks like glaring. But in their body language the look is meant to be gentle and loving.

Cats will sometimes put their bum in your face, but this is also a friendly social gesture that obv seems rude to us.

Friendly gestures to us like prolonged eye contact may seem rude or aggressive to them. By slowly blinking and winking at my cat putting out a hand and waiting for her to come to me for her favorite neck rubs we have become closer which was so amazing:) she will sometimes chirp at me to follow her and show me her favorite hang out and hiding places.

Also because dogs have evolved with our body language they like us also have opposite body language to cats and misread each other constantly (the dog play position is the cat fight position for example), usually ending in a fight or chase. That’s why they’re considered enemies! I loved seeing my cat and new puppy figure out each other’s true intentions and developing an unlikely friendship☺️

Trying out new techniques and styles. I’ve never really been a painter before, so this is new for me. Definitely room for improvement!
