Have you ever wondered how we actually compare dogs with other animals as if they were our default animal species? Well, according to cat rescuer and writer Elle M., “this hurts cats” since “cats are social creatures” too.
It turns out that many assumptions we have about cats and dogs are due to our inability to recognize their social behavior and the meaning behind them. So in order to shed some much-needed light on canine and feline minds, Elle M. has penned an illuminating thread that explains from the bottom up how both dogs and cats are social in their own special way.
“Cats are ignored and neglected because humans refuse to understand them,” they tweeted, so let’s see the whole thread right below.
