What can we say about Cats that hasn’t already been said on Tumblr, I Can Has Cheezburger, Lolcats or any other site responsible for the cat craze these last few years? For one, how about a fascinating little known fact about cats?
Something interesting we came across when writing this post is that apparently, unlike dogs, cats treat us like they would other cats. Neat, right? Don’t believe us? check out this article from National Geographic that explains it.
Basically, dogs know that we’re not dogs; they behave differently around us than other dogs. But cats, they behave similarly with humans as they would with other cats. They knead us, purr, rub up on us, and raise their tails to us like they would to their mothers. They just know we’re bigger and clumsier. And that’s probably pretty accurate. Whenever we do fall off things we tend not to land on our feet.
So in response to our article on the greatest Dog quotes of all time, we thought we’d do another one on our other favorite furry friends. So grab your favorite feline and enjoy these 25 quotes that only cat lovers will understand.
