Had a cat that was the opposite, he would not maintain eye contact if he did something wrong. Would absolutely stare you down if he knew he did nothing.
What? Cats have lazy days by default. No day with a dog should be lazy. Providing enrichment for a cat is so much less effort than for a dog. I say this as someone who has owned many dogs and cats and I love both.
I completely agree. My current cat is actually kind of a handful. But typically cats are much more chill as pets than dogs, and typical dogs require a lot more daily activity for a healthy and enriching life, so saying dogs are better because they "can have lazy days" is very disingenuous.

Cats are so hard to read lol, it’s hard to know if you’re on their shit list lol.

in my experience the big thing is that cats will inherently try and test ur boundaries so you need to be more aware. Most dogs just want to love you

It may be because I am high, but this got me.

I sort of get it, I’m sick and it was the first time I noticed how eerie it was.

Mine will do shit on purpose, stare at you for a second then run full speed in a random direction.

One of the many reasons why I prefer dogs, they know who's boss.

Same here, plus dogs are fine with lazy days.

I had a feeling someone would say this, but not all pets are the same.

I would actually prefer someone dragging me from the sofa to do... whatever. I can be lazy AF. Not all the time, but man, some days...
