My dog understands me.. and he loves me even when I forget to feed him. And he's always always pleased to see me... no haughty bollocks (well actually no bollocks at all) from him...
He bites men who come into my house too. He's on my side that dog.
the thing is with dogs, they know they have no brains, and goof in the sheer delight of it. Cats are resentful that they have no brains and just huff and stalk to give the illusion they are smarter than you.
Someone recently said to me "If you're putting up shelves and there's a dog in the room, the dog looks at you with eyes that say 'I don't know what it is you're doing, but I do love you' and a cat in similar circumstances will look at you with eyes that say 'why are you doing that when you could be getting me my dinner? Oh, and you're an idiot' "
Some truth in that.
Our cat is more like
"I'm not sure what connection it is I have with you, it's certainly not family. We seem to have been thrown together by the winds of fate, and as such I will make the best of it. I'm not sure about the things you get up to, and I'm not sure if I agree with them, but while we're both together, lets be cordial."
mmmmmh!
Right if you throw a stick some distance and ask a human to fetch it for you, they will likely tell you to go forth and multiply.
Same thing with a cat, they'll look at you aloofly and yes think you're idiotic, but they'll still love you for it, and still wonder why you haven't got their dinner ready.
but Towser will bound off like the moron he is and fetch and re-fetch the stick until the cows come home.
