behavior

Have you ever kissed your cat on the forehead and thought: "Cats don't do that to each other, right? What does my cat think I'm doing when I kiss its head? Does it think I'm trying to eat it or does it understand that it's affection?" You're not the only one. We all wonder whether our pets understand us or not, considering how incredibly different we are. 

Today, tumblr is explaining to us one of those behaviors that we wonder so much about and - spoiler alert - they don't think we're eating them. Other than being hilarious, tumblr is also good at explaining things about animals, and the explanation tumblr gives for this one is an incredibly cute one. They also explain what cats think when we accidentally step on them, and it is somehow even more wholesome. 

Us cat lovers, who spend time and energy hanging out with cats whenever we cat, we understand cats. We also understand dogs (most of the time), knowledge about dogs is common. But dog lovers, who spend no time with cats, are often very confused by cats and think that cats are evil - which is the farthest thing away from truth!

This tumblr thread took it upon itself to explain to dog lovers that cats are not evil at all. And they did it in the cutest way possible, explaining just how big hearted cats are. Cats just don't show it the way dogs do, and that's part of what makes them special. Cats are not evil, they're just not dogs. That doesn't mean cat and dog lovers can't be best friends - cats and dogs can be best friends, so can we. 

The first one being cardboard boxes, naturally. 

However, if there isn't a cardboard box to be found -- the sink is the obvious choice for hangouts. Plus, it comes with fresh, running water! Can't beat that, right?

And now so more than ever, with it being boiling outside, the feel of the cool ceramic against all that fur? Yes, please! We get it, cats of the world. We get it. And we're here to give you your spotlight, in the sink. 

According to a recent study, goats are more intelligent than people previously thought. Goats have the ability to understand human expressions. They can tell the difference between unhappy faces and smiling ones and are attracted to the latter. 

Pretty wild, huh? 

How was the study conducted, you might ask. Researchers went to a goat sanctuary, and they showed goats a pair of photos — one with a happy face and the other with an angry expression. They were surprised to find that ALL the goats were drawn to the happy face. 

Honestly, the fact that Goats like you more when you're happy sounds like a good enough reason to smile. 

A very important note for cat/ dog owners
