If your cat doesn’t have a undertone of “probably has satan on speed dial” your cat is doing a fantastic job of hiding their true nature and you need to be concerned for your safety because that cat has a mission.
I get it’s a joke, but I hear it so much, it makes me question what some of y’all are doing to your cats that this is the go-to joke.
I’ve owned a lot of cats, as have my friends and family. They’re all chill, and most open to affection. It’s very rare to find one of these “Satan” cats. I legitimately can’t keep my cats off me. I almost wish they hated me sometimes because their constant badgering for pets can get a little annoying.
Depends on how they were trained, if they aren’t actively used to lots of human touch early on the default mode for cats is “pets on my schedule, if I feel like it”.
I don’t… think it’s bad? Such cats aren’t unhappy or evil, they just don’t crave affection which kinda makes sense for a barely domesticated species whose wild counterpart is non-social. Raising a cat to be cuddly definitely goes against its innate instincts.
The first is an absolute angel. I’ve literally never seen her hiss, bite, or claw at another living being. Not even a bug. When she’s walking on shelves or dressers, she’s super careful not to knock anything over, and she never tries to steal food (but she will go for a sniff at an acceptable distance). She gets so excited to see me when I get home that she drools when I pet her.
Then the newest one is an absolute coin toss. She flip-flops between being the sweet little angel that brings you her mouse asking to play fetch, and a spawn of Satan that will look you dead in the eyes as she knocks a full glass of water off of your nightstand.
One of my cats is one of the sweetest animals I have ever met and very affectionate.
The other cat is a complete and utter removed. A living terror. She will lay in the middle of the floor waiting for you to walk by so she can swipe at your ankles with full claws out. She will pur and get all lovey for dinner, then she’ll swipe at you as you put the bowl down, then pur while she eats.
Oh I didn’t mention, she does not care one bit about toys, she is a lounge around in the sun princess. Even a laser pointer gets a “are you fucking serious” look from her
Some cats have a way of cleaning themselves that is the most passive-aggressive thing I’ve ever seen. Like, they’ll do it when another cat is trying to play fight with them as a way of telling the other cat to back the fuck off.
Great question - during the pandemic there were a lot of memes about how dogs are loving the humans being home all day, while cats were hating it. Our cats were glad to have us home all day (as was the dog, who kept demanding walks at odd times until he settled into the new routine).
When we get home from errands, the dog will of course be at the door - and there’s about a 85% chance the one cat will be nearby, too. Another cat will often show up as well. (The third cat, never. He’s too busy hiding.)
They don’t suck. A lot of death metal bands don’t suck but they just act a certain evil way. That’s cats for the most part. I did have one that would come up to me, roll over and want a belly rub like a dog, but that’s not the most typical experience.
Right? This whole “cats bad/evil/hellions/selfish” trope is boring and wrong. Like, how do you treat your cats? All of mine have been love bug, cuddle bug sweethearts. I’ve met some cats who are annoying mischief makers, but I think a lot of that depends on the people.
i looove my cats they are awesome but they only really do what they want. I’m lucky they only want to be nice babies but when threy get angry (if i travel for example) they will pee around the house, throw things from the shelfs, step on my food etc
It’s vastly more that dog owners have a fetish for self-congratulation and constantly have to sniff their own farts over how special and perfect their “fur babies” are.
Where do y’all keep finding all these cats that suck
Ours are fucking stoked to see us and a lot of fun.

I have one of each, both black female cats.

Please tell both of them I adore them and that they are both very good at being cats!
Absolutely! ;3
I feel like Satan here is more like “yeah, and I made an even better one, pure darkness, pure joy”

Sounds like your monster cat would like more play time. I also have one of each of those, with added nibbling.

Mine is more like “MOTHER FUCKER WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! HOW DARE YOU LEAVE MY PRESENCE. NOW WITNESS MY BUTTHOLE CLEANSING!”
MEOW MEEEEEOWWWW meow licks butthole in the middle of the room

I had a pretty awesome cat who was fun and happy to see me, I’d still put him in that final panel though.

Garfield and it’s consequences have been a disaster for the human race
There are definitely sweet cats. Most are assholes in my experience, though. Still love 'em.

You must be fun at parties
The second your cat knows you’ve died, it’s gonna eat your corpse. A dog would probably starve to death instead.
Dog would start eating you as well once it gets hungry enough
Is that supposed to be a bad thing?
