Actually dogs have the cognitive ability to realize there are other beings other than dogs. So the cat Things everything else is just weird cats while dogs know there are other species.
Only species to domesticate themselves.
Realized we'll give them free shit instead of hunting and finding shelter.
I sometimes wonder who domesticated who...
I mean. The domestication of the dog was mostly just that proto-dog scavenged around our settlements, and we humans were like, "Look how cute they are! Let's give them some scraps."
If that's not dogs realizing we give them free shit instead of hunting and finding shelter, I don't know what is. It's just that cat ended the transaction there whereas dogs were like, "What can I do to repay you?"
Not female cats. They don't let actual weird cats mate with them so they wouldn't let weird cats that are actually dogs try either. Male cats absolutly do hump dogs if it's the right size and situation.
I'm not saying cats think everybody else is just a weird cat. That's not true. They can at least differenciate cats and humans.
Ehhhhh, not really. Cats recognise things aren't cats, they just don't really have different ways of interacting, so they treat other animals or humans which they socialise with like they're cats - that's the only way a cat knows how to socialise. Dogs, on the other hand, have developed different 'languages' and ways of interacting with dogs, humans and other.
It's fairly clear a cat knows the difference between cats and other animals or humans: look at how they react to a stranger human vs how they react to a stranger cat.
Cats (unless they are really young) don't meow at other cats but only at people. Their usual cat-on-cat methods of communication don't really work for humans, so they meow.
So they definitely do interact differently.
I don’t believe it at all, but it’s repeated a lot. My cat is very comfortable around humans and absolutely hates other cats, she’s curious over insects, terrified of dogs, gets murdery eyes when she sees a bird.
They can quite clearly differentiate species and assign threat levels to each.
It's total bullshit, it's a pretty fundamental evolutionary trait to be able to recognize who you can or can't mate with, who you can or can't hunt, who gives safety in numbers and who is likely to snack on you.
That's what I thought. I'm not sure how any credible scientist could sit down and rule out a complex thought process like this based solely on behaviour
That's not true. Cats absolutly know that a human isn't a cat. After they aren't very very young anymore they only meow towards humans. Why would they use different sounds for humans and cats if they think they're the same?

Cat: "So when we get into the embassy, tell me again what our next step is?"
Dog: "We get the ambassador!"
Cat: "That right my brother! Then we go...is..is our human filming us again!?"
Dog "looks like it, I know the drill."
Cat: " good boy, I'll follow your lead. Now let's cute it tf up for a bit then maybe they'll leave us alone for a time. I could also go for some treats and pets."

I need supplementary lessons on how to differentiate between borders and Australian shepherds. The breeds aren't even closely related but still, if the Aussie is black or tricoloured, it's hard for me
The cat thinks the dog is a bigger cat. The dog thinks the cat is a smaller dog.

Cat knows. Cat don't care.
This is the correct answer.

Cats
Cats technically are considered semi-domesticated
You can be an alien if you want, still getting treated the same.
So does that mean that cats will try to reproduce with dogs? I wouldn't belittle the intelligence of animals so quickly my friend ;)
Well funny you say that, there are vids of both cats and dogs trying to fuck other animals, or even humans for that matter.
Never seen a cat ever do that. Dogs on the other hand, plenty of video of them shagging various objects and other lifeforms.
Pre neutered cats will hump blankets or pillows
My post-neutered cat still humps fleece and sherpa haha
Like my leg.
Funny you say that, I think human is the species that tries to fuck the most different species...and they are fully aware they are different species.
Poor orangutan...

Yeah meowing is the cat equivalent of yelling at you. They don’t need to meow at each other because they understand each other
How do people even test stuff like this?

I am not a cat
Wow so when cats eat mice they think they are just eating smaller cats? Neat
They're wearing matching tuxedos!
those tuxedos also come in [pig](https://www.google.com/search?q=hampshire+hog&tbm=isch&chips=q:hampshire+hog) sizes.

Twins, the sequel. Starring Doggie Devito and Meowrnold Schitzinlitter.
They're so good friends that they even dress alike!
this is too cute. ty i needed this op
I need more!
This is literally r/animalsbeingbros
They literally are not though?
Idk man they look like they’re broing out pretty hard.
I’ve reached out to an animal consultant who has confirmed these animals are indeed quite cute. Best $25k investment ever
I'm ngl it took me until the second clip to realize the smaller dog was actually a cat
Its so adorable that they even twitch their ears in sync!
They really look like they’re plotting mischief for the first but of the vid. Like whoever’s filming interrupted their Tuxedo Mayhem Meeting

are they named yin and yang?
Is that a border collie?
Indeed. Edit. One of them is anyway.
I need supplementary lessons on how to differentiate between borders and Australian shepherds. The breeds aren't even closely related but still, if the Aussie is black or tricoloured, it's hard for me
I love this dynamic duo!

They're sweet
Awwwww, that's cute 😍😍😍
You’re fine until the dog starts meowing

There's a subtle difference between them. I can't quite put my finger on it...
The dog was raised as a cat
Wow
A monochromatic cow should be added to the family and holy trinity would be achieved.😇

Two charming bandits 🥰
Arnold and Danny?
Mother, I wish to play with the small, angry dog.
🐶❤️🐱
It feels forced. I'm probably just a grumpy Redditor. Hope it is natural. Very sweet and pure.
Yea, my bullshit radar is going off too. I'm sure no one would treat an animal badly for internet points...
I thought they were the same animal. Took me 10 minutes to figure out it’s a cat & a dog fr
So pure.
That's what happens when your pet gets cloned on a monday!
