I click on this thread cause it was on the front page.
Expected anime got animals.
On your current topic. Dogs are super bad ***. They mourn their dead loved ones regardless of if they are human or animal. Cats are capable of the same as well, same with dolphins and even elephants. There's even some evidence buffalos are capable of this as too.
Here is a dog mourning it's owners death.
Had to go through like 120 pages of RT to find the damn thing lol.
I am kind of hard pressed to thik that cat's would do this after seeing this dog this is what I call loyalty.
Apparently, you've never owned a Cat. They are just as loyal and loving as a dog. Makes me sick seeing people think Cats aren't as capable of loyalty and love for their owners as dogs. I've owned 3 Cats and they were all loving, caring and showed affection and they would comfort me when I was down and sit next to me. Plus I owned a dog for some years and it wasn't a pleasurable experience. Loud, pissing and sh*ting everywhere, and chewing our valuables up and couldn't give a damn about me despite me being it's owner.
Cats are well behaved, and when trained they will "do their business" in one place (litter box) and won't do the nasty sh*t those mutts do.
Plus I owned one cat (his name was CJ) since his birth and had him since I was like 7-8 years old (I'm 27 now). He's been with me for years and we were like brothers. He would always comfort me, he was protective and was well behaved and had personality. He died a couple years ago from liver cancer, it was devastating and his death still haunts me.
And one more thing, Cats unlike Dogs, have their own personalities similar to us human beings than Dogs do. Dogs have this mindset of blind loyalty even to those who treat them like sh*t, the majority of them are always like that, like clones of each other. I'm not saying they don't have personalities too but with Cats, you can see personality if you devote time to them and they will grow to love you.
If you act like an *** to them, Cats will let you know right away that you are an *** and wouldn't want to be around you. THAT right there is personality that almost every human being has. Who wants to be around someone who treats them like sh*t or disrespects them?
Cats have a long lineage. They know how to protect themselves and survive. Plus that saying that cats have "9 Lives", I think that's true. CJ, my oldest cat who died had some close calls with death before but he survived.
So before you belittle cats for not being as loyal as some mutt, raise one with love and care, show it that you care, respect them and them and they will love, respect and return your affection for them. They are, to me, spiritual creatures, they have personalities similar to that of humans, they are intelligent and when trained they can use the litter box to go to the bathroom, like how a smart human would use the toilet.
