> For me, the great charm of cats is that it is impossible to tell the difference between "No, I don't understand you." and "I understand you perfectly well, but I plan to ignore you completely until I feel like responding".

Incidentally, this is why I dislike cats so much and prefer dogs :)

There's a very funny gag in the credits of the movie Inside Out by pixar about cats vs dogs.

(If you've never seen the movie, it's worth a watch!)

I love how dog people feel the need to talk about how much they hate cats at every turn but cat people kind of like all animals
It's similar to smartphones. Android users express hate for iPhones and Apple way more than the reverse. Also I'd bet there's a correlation between smartphone brand and animal preference, with Android users preferring dogs and iPhone users preferring cats.
That's called a confirmation bias, friend.
So true
just don't get a Pyrenees. maybe this whole time he's just been a huge cat.
I was going to comment that my dog frequently pretends to not understand me, but he's part Pyrenees... I hadn't realized that was a trait of the breed!
My dachshund is the same. Affectionate as a dog, stubborn as a cat
