If your cat doesn’t have a undertone of “probably has satan on speed dial” your cat is doing a fantastic job of hiding their true nature and you need to be concerned for your safety because that cat has a mission.

I have one of each, both black female cats.

The first is an absolute angel. I've literally never seen her hiss, bite, or claw at another living being. Not even a bug. When she's walking on shelves or dressers, she's super careful not to knock anything over, and she never tries to steal food (but she will go for a sniff at an acceptable distance). She gets so excited to see me when I get home that she drools when I pet her.

Then the newest one is an absolute coin toss. She flip-flops between being the sweet little angel that brings you her mouse asking to play fetch, and a spawn of Satan that will look you dead in the eyes as she knocks a full glass of water off of your nightstand.

I feel like Satan here is more like "yeah, and I made an even better one, pure darkness, pure joy"

One of my cats is one of the sweetest animals I have ever met and very affectionate.

The other cat is a complete and utter bitch. A living terror. She will lay in the middle of the floor waiting for you to walk by so she can swipe at your ankles with full claws out. She will pur and get all lovey for dinner, then she'll swipe at you as you put the bowl down, then pur while she eats.

Mine is more like "MOTHER FUCKER WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! HOW DARE YOU LEAVE MY PRESENCE. NOW WITNESS MY BUTTHOLE CLEANSING!"

MEOW MEEEEEOWWWW meow licks butthole in the middle of the room

Great question - during the pandemic there were a lot of memes about how dogs are loving the humans being home all day, while cats were hating it. Our cats were glad to have us home all day (as was the dog, who kept demanding walks at odd times until he settled into the new routine).

When we get home from errands, the dog will of course be at the door - and there's about a 85% chance the one cat will be nearby, too. Another cat will often show up as well. (The third cat, never. He's too busy hiding.)

I had a pretty awesome cat who was fun and happy to see me, I’d still put him in that final panel though.

They don't suck. A lot of death metal bands don't suck but they just act a certain evil way. That's cats for the most part. I did have one that would come up to me, roll over and want a belly rub like a dog, but that's not the most typical experience.

Right? This whole “cats bad/evil/hellions/selfish” trope is boring and wrong. Like, how do you treat your cats? All of mine have been love bug, cuddle bug sweethearts. I’ve met some cats who are annoying mischief makers, but I think a lot of that depends on the people.

There are definitely sweet cats. Most are assholes in my experience, though. Still love 'em.

i looove my cats they are awesome but they only really do what they want. I'm lucky they only want to be nice babies but when threy get angry (if i travel for example) they will pee around the house, throw things from the shelfs, step on my food etc

It's vastly more that dog owners have a fetish for self-congratulation and constantly have to sniff their own farts over how special and perfect their "fur babies" are.
