differences

If you're a cat lover like us, you have a soft spot in your heart not just for house cats but also for big cats. You'd pet them if you could, and you know it. And you wish you could spend more time around big cats like that and get to know them better, learn about each of them - what makes them special and different and what their personalities are like. 

Well, say thank you to tumblr user carnegiemuseumnaturalhistory for deciding to share their big cat knowledge with us and teaching us - unlucky big cat lovers who can't spend time with big cats - about what makes wild cats unique. Reading this has both educated us and made us want to cuddle a snow leopard even more. 

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. 

Rover.com conducted a survey via PollFish in March 2019 to take a deeper look in the phenomenon of a pet's influence in the household. They polled 1,261 adult dog and cat owners in the United States. The study is known as "The Secret Lives of Cat People and Dog People" and the report investigates "how having a cat, a dog or both affects humans and the relationships we cultivate with our pets." The data revealed that cat people and dog people are more alike than different. So can we all live in peace now? Check out the results below. 

Always be the person your dog thinks you are
