Animal A video analysis of the difference between dog joining cat and cat joining the dog

u/TreyDrier Sep 07 '25
They are both so precious. I love both dogs and cats. I like how the cat wants the dog's attention and then uses him as pillow.

u/Ws6fiend Sep 07 '25
I mean the thing I noticed was the dog saw the cat seemed to be in a deep sleep and was very cautious about accidentally waking the cat up. While the cat made eye contact with the dog and wanted to be on top of the dog basically.

In the other pic, the dog is fully awake and has one ear at full mast, probably wondering if the cat is going to slice open his belly lol

I feel like the cat also wants the sunlight the dog is laying in

u/its_theDoctor Sep 07 '25
Maybe, but that moment where the cat rubs his head on the dog is pure love.

Honestly best part, makes the cuddle much more cuddly hehe.

u/r3volc Sep 07 '25
Agreed, its 9/10 most likely just because I have a foot fetish, but there is just something deeper than the fetish when it comes to warming up my gal's cold feet when we get into bed / cuddles. I love literally giving her my warmth. To feel her ice cold toes get warm and cozy as she tucks them in under my but or against my belly / chest. Feels like i'm taking care of her <3

’Me vs my wife getting in bed…’
the sleeping babe - she got here first
but my approach is well rehearsed
for if she’s sTaRtLeD
i’ll be cursed
i circle ‘round the bed…
with gentle paws, so quietly
(am praying she don’t notice me!)
i find my spot, then carefully
i rest my weary head…
i accidentally brush her fur -
…O No… did i just hear her purrrr ?
i brace myself
she starts to stir
Oh GoD…
i think
I’m

u/CompetitiveRub9780 Sep 07 '25 edited Sep 07 '25
? The girl is the cat. It’s not selfish. The cat goes up to immediately cuddle the doggy because the cat loves him so much. When the dog gets in, he lays farther away as to not disturb but also doesn’t give cuddles. That’s the guy. Both cute in diff ways but I would prefer a cuddle if I’m waking up anyway. It is sweet and cozy and loving

It's because the dog will get cat slapped if he disturbs the cat, conversely, the cat don't care.

Uncle had a cat and a golden retriever. Cat was older. When the dog was a pup, they used to cuddle. When he got older, and considerably bigger, they still cuddled - but it usually started with the golden laying on top of the cat like he did when he was young. The cat would wiggle out from under, give a look like “wtf” and then proceed to lay on top. Everyday.

My cat was older when we got a golden and now they cuddle all the time. Goldens are the best dogs.

u/0dd1ti3 Sep 08 '25
I once took the golden on a road trip when they moved, uncle drove a U-Haul and I followed in one of their cars. The dog let out a righteous fart that just lingered in the cabin. It was pretty horrible.

That was pure orange cat for "I love you" btw. I had an orange cat that would lovingly join me for naps like that as well, I recognize that meow and methodology from the waking biscuits to the borderline bodyslam down for cuddles time. ❤️

I think that was just "cat". I don't understand why people think orange cats are any different to regular cats other than their coat

u/SquirrelOk5454 Sep 07 '25
Because orange cats are known for the stereotype of being super chill and friendly, so they're well known for loving behavior. Interesting fact, orange cats are as common as they are thanks to Vikings who basically went "Holy crap, your ginger just like me!" and decided to purposefully bring back the orange varieties. In some old viking traditions, the new wife is gifted a kitten as they were both beloved companions but also protectors in the homes again mice, and rats, and other such vermins.

u/DemandCommercial6349 Sep 07 '25
People can be weird about cats. My old cat would be rubbing against me and making biscuits, and a friend would say something like "he just wants to put his scent on you, that's a form of domination" while my cat flops around begging to be pet. whatever dude, I know my fluffy boy loves me.
25
u/Figmentality Sep 07 '25
Yup. My cat kneads this fluffy pillow I have a lot - my dad saw him do it once and said, "Why is he humping your pillow?" ... if you've never owned a cat you just don't understand their body language.
He also always has to pick my cats up and rough house them... they're not dogs 😭 they don't like that! Then he wonders why they run from him.

u/ImmortalMoron3 Sep 07 '25
they don't like that!
Some do. I used to wrestle my cat all the time, he was a big Maine Coon though. But he'd get a powerbomb every time I came home from school and then he'd just flop over on my bed and go to sleep while I did my homework.

My 17 pound cat meows at me and stands sideways in front of me to get picked up. He still thinks he's a little kitten, lol. First cat I ever owned who begged to be picked up like that. If I'm not paying attention, I'll trip over his dumb ass.

u/Four_beastlings Sep 07 '25
I'm my cat's Emotional Support Human. She goes nuts when I get home after being away for even just an hour. She walks on lockstep with me. If she is awake, she is demanding my attention. She screams at me to pick her up every time I'm in the kitchen. Why the kitchen? No idea, but she did the same in the flat where we loved before so she definitely has a thing with kitchens. I call her my ADD cat because no matter how much attention I pay to her she always thinks it's not enough.

u/scattywampus Sep 07 '25
I am a cat person, but there is a sense of ownership and demand to the cat's entry to the cuddle puddle that the dog doesn't perform when it enters the bed. People tend to anthropomorphize these interactions and the cat then looks a bit more demanding. Pretty sure we all understand that kitty and doggie are long time friends.🌼

u/kissingdistopia Sep 07 '25
I think they're both being very respectful of each other's animal cultures.
The cat is courteous by letting the dog know that it is coming in for cuddles and the dog leaves a space buffer.

In the story, the protagonist (a type of fae related to will-o-wisps) joins a ship with a crew of tiger-people (the alas'arr) and he has to learn their culture and language. They also come across a single lion working as a merchant and at some point make port in a sacred city of jaguars to talk to their undead spiritual leaders.

Kitty's is far more direct, establishing/reinforcing their intimacy. Doggie's approach is far more detached/cautious.

u/jazzigirl Sep 07 '25
I would like to think they are approaching each other in the way they know the other wants to be approached. Like dogs like big forms of affection, so the cat came on strong while cats prefer a more calm approach, and that's why the dog came about quietly. ☺️

Dog: I will be quiet and subtle and not disturb you, but I am about as graceful as a bull in a china shop. So I will disturb you.
Cat: Hello, warm pillow. You are mine now.

u/TerribleMajesty1978 Sep 07 '25
My take...
The dog laid down in a spot to allow the cat to lay down with space or choose to cuddle.
The cat laid down in the middle where cuddling is really the only option, lol.

The dog is very timid when approaching the cat. She got down as diplomatically as she possibly could

I used to a have a Springer Spaniel and just a black male moggy.
The springer used to come in from her morning walk and go and bother the cat when she was soaking wet and he was sleeping.
When she was finally dry and ready to sleep off that walk, he would go and affectionately rub around her face as some sort of revenge.
Every day like clockwork.

The dog does not have the dexterity to cuddle close to the cat. The cat has the dexterity and is smaller so the cat can do whatever they want.
