When dogs do it, it’s “miraculous”, brilliant, evidence of how much they care.

When cats do it, it’s explained away easily by some scientific thing.

When dogs do it, it’s “miraculous”, brilliant, evidence of how much they care.

When cats do it, it’s explained away easily by some scientific thing. Chah! Must I be the one to explain this?

It's all quite scientific, you see.

When your kitteh smells the difference on your breath and seeping from your pores that indicates dangerously low blood sugar, it knows something is wrong. The kitteh smells this even in its sleep and wakes up.

Of course this raises no alarm in the cat, because it knows that it is a feline and therefore a god. It can find another pet human with opposable thumbs to open cans of food after you're gone.

So your kitteh rolls over and goes back to sleep.

Whereupon your kitteh is poked into yowling by the merciful paw of Dog Spelled Backwards until you are roused from sleep or whatever it was you were doing.

It's so simple when one who knows takes the time to explain, isn't it? ;o)

I have never had a pet cat, but always felt they were smarter than dogs, and therefore been more wary of them! I do have some “issues.”
