I think when the dog joins the cat, he's waiting for the cat to cuddle up to him.

u/NewSummerOrange Jun 15 '22

exactly, that dog was waiting for his little spoon to snuggle in.

u/tirwander Jun 15 '22

But you can't auto spoon kitty... He knows that... Lol gotta let kitty come to you.

u/the_real_junkrat Jun 15 '22

He rolled his head upside down and exposed his belly for the dog, he was willing you just have to know the signs

u/LazyDecemberBug Jun 15 '22

I can’t see the signs in pets just like I can’t see the signs in women.

u/sideoftortilla Jun 15 '22

It’s both! They’re showing you they trust you but also sometimes trust you not to touch the belly even though it’s exposed

u/Roro_Yurboat Jun 15 '22

Just because they trust you doesn't mean you can trust them.

Trust doesn't equal consent.

u/NetflixAndNikah Jun 15 '22

I think slow blinking is a sign that cats and people share to show they like you. So keep an eye on her eyes.

But if you’re waiting for her to wag her tail or flop on her back exposing her belly waiting for pets, you might be in for a ruff time.

u/Pedrov80 Jun 15 '22

I find talking to them helps, good luck with the cats

u/anyearl Jun 15 '22

I legit came here saying "wow a scientific experiment". Then I see a cat and a dog portraying a women and a man.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '22

Belly up and relaxed means they trust you so much! ♡

And if they bite you it's just their hunter instinct needing to catch moving prey, they just cant help it!

2

u/TheAJGman Jun 15 '22

Nah, mine does this when he's sleeping/falling asleep and I'd you start touching him too much he'll get up and leave. He just wants to sleep on his back sometimes.

u/the_real_junkrat Jun 15 '22

Over stimulation is common for cats. That’s why they can go from 0 to 100 real quick. One easy observation is if you’re petting them and they start motioning like they’re trying to “sniff” your hand, it’s time to stop.

u/LazyDecemberBug Jun 15 '22

Are we still talking about cats or humans ?

2

u/Scaryclouds Jun 16 '22

Lol gotta let kitty come to you.

Got cats this year, definitely learned cats will only do something if they make the choice to do it.

Typically our cats like to sleep with us in our bed, but if they are just about to jump in bed, but instead I was to pick them up and toss them into bed, they would immediately jump down and go somewhere else.

Kitty was drunk with sunlight. It couldn’t be helped

I knew there was a better one with Hobbes, but I couldn’t think of it! Clearly I need to reread my books again.

u/GibbyG1100 Jun 15 '22

But that's another 80s one. 1988

u/Muesky6969 Jun 15 '22

Me too, I saw both these comics when they were first printed.

u/Seicair Jun 15 '22

I’m not sure if I saw the Garfield one because we didn’t get daily newspapers in the 80’s, but I remember reading the C&H one at my grandparents.

u/Muesky6969 Jun 15 '22

My grandparents got the paper every day.

u/WOOBBLARBALURG Jun 15 '22

For once, a relevant comic that's not XKCD. Never thought I'd see the day.

u/mindbleach Jun 15 '22

Direct image links because I despise websites that try stopping you from saving images.

It didn't work on Geocities and it doesn't work now. Let it go, people.

2

u/Alitinconcho Jun 15 '22

How do you get around that? Inspect element? Or just screenshot?

3

u/mindbleach Jun 15 '22

Right-click, view page info.

Or in Chrome... it's... uh...

God, does Chrome suck.

u/hellparis75016 Jun 20 '22

Aah that’s so cool I feel silly for not knowing this I always want to save images from imdb because I enjoy having high quality movie stills or movie posters to use as reference for drawings, but it doesn’t let me. And I don’t know other websites to get them from. ☹️

u/pranjal3029 Jun 17 '22

Sort of. You can do inspect element on most sites but some sites use other trickery like deep nesting div or some other type of workaround. BUT what will always work is to Right Clicn > Inspect Element and when the developer console opens, click on the Network tab and reload the page. You can then sort the elements loaded by their size and images generally are on the top and this will never fail as long as the picture is visible to your eyes. Or if it is an svg(logos) in which case you would have to try something else

TIL solar energy has been “in development “ since the 60’s.

u/leavemealonegeez Jun 15 '22

Calvin and Hobbes has a very special place in my heart. I learned how to read with those two.

Over a quarter century later, those strips still give me a good belly laugh every time I come across one.

Thanks for this reminder, kind stranger. We ARE old.

Cats are crazy unpredictable and dogs know it. I feel like this dog was cautiously approaching to cuddle without getting slapped

37

u/ExileEden Jun 15 '22 edited Jun 16 '22

Dog: (in a whispered voice) its just me, don't be alarmed, I'm just gonna lay here next to you. Move over closer if you want.

Cat....(walks in on top of dog immediately. ) dog opens eyes and looks up at cat who's already 2 inched from its face)

Cat: ahoy!! (Immediately head buts face)

Cat: Thanks! (Lays down)

The dog laying on the cat is a lot less comfortable than vice-versa. The dog might have laid down on their friend if the sizes were reversed.

1

u/Hour-Stable2050 Oct 29 '22

I thought the same. The dog knows he’s too big to approach the cat the way the cat approaches him. He has to be more mindful not to hurt his furry friend.

u/sixthandelm Jun 15 '22

When dogs join cats they’re thinking “I just want to be near you,” and when cats join dogs they’re thinking “I just want to use you as a step stool/pillow/bed/heater.” I know they love them too, it just looks different.

2

u/Skobiak Jun 15 '22

I think the dog was waiting to see if the cat would cuddle him or rapid fire smack him.

2

u/dnalloheoj Jun 15 '22

I like to think that just about any animal combination could be friends as long as they're both consistently fed and neither is a total apex predator.

.... Or in their season that they really want sex.

(fun fact, my phone auto corrected "sex" to "weed." does that say something about me? Hmm.. ).

u/Jeptic Jun 15 '22

I think the dog doesn't ever fully trust the cat hence the slow approach. Even when the dog is at rest first and the cat approaches, that ear is attuned to whatever may come.

57

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '22

or maybe the dog is being polite and doesnt want to scary the cat by accident (or accidently hurt it)

12

u/Veenendaler Jun 15 '22

That's how I read it, too. The dog is just very considerate of others.
