Is it just us or do cats sometimes get a little jealous? We've always wondered. There will be times when our cats cuddle up to us and act all cutely and wholesomely. Then, there will be times when our cats will be little hooligans and toss things around. No matter what they do, we always feel like they're playful and they're doing it because they're enjoying their lives. Except for those few times when they look like they're actually mad at us.
With our cats, it tends to happen whenever new people or animals are in the house. If we pet a dog for more than 5 seconds in our cat's line of vision, our cat will be aloof and give us the stank eye for a whole hour afterwards. And don't even get us started about said cat's protective reaction whenever literally anyone comes to the door - growling and preparing to launch himself the second it's necessary. It seems… like jealousy. And it looks like our cat is not the only one.
Aww poor pup. It really does seem to be a thing for cats to react with jealousy when their human interacts with dogs. It's almost like they're thinking to themselves: how dare the human give affection to this stanky thing instead of to me. We would make up for it by petting that cat, but he's too busy being a butthurt baby.
It's because they love us, okay? We just have to accept that some species show affection by destroying things with their pee. Namely, cats and dogs. And there isn't anything we can do about it other than feel flattered that they care and, of course, complain and laugh about it on the internet.
