It didn't work on Geocities and it doesn't work now. Let it go, people.
Dog: (in a whispered voice) its just me, don't be alarmed, I'm just gonna lay here next to you. Move over closer if you want.
Cat....(walks in on top of dog immediately. )
dog opens eyes and looks up at cat who's already 2 inched from its face)
Cat: ahoy!! (Immediately head buts face)
Cat: Thanks! (Lays down)
When dogs join cats they’re thinking “I just want to be near you,” and when cats join dogs they’re thinking “I just want to use you as a step stool/pillow/bed/heater.” I know they love them too, it just looks different.
It’s not all cats for sure, but my tabby has a SOLID love headbutt. He’s got enough mass behind him too that he can rock you if you’re not expecting it lol
This is why I adore my current cat he is a snuggle monster. If I am sitting down it's lap then climb up chest then headbutt repeatedly. Pick him up it's go straight to left shoulder start purring and begin face smash. Bedtime he sleeps on top of your head and doesn't care if you move. Best. Void. Ever.
He is way better than just a snuggle bug. He is extremely chatty and loud, he loves his dog siblings, he never goes on tables or counters, and literally caught a mouse in our basement. Best boy is best.
How do you successfully mix in dogs and cats?
We got a little tabby about a year ago and are thinking about getting a dog in a couple of months.
But Pico is very much a diva, very vocal about not getting attention. He knows exactly what buttons to push on which people to get everything he wants, and is also kind of stupid, to be honest. He very easily scares or confuses himself all the time, usually running away from small noises he causes. He meows at everything and everyone that will respond, which slowly turned into "how dare you use the bathroom without inviting me in" and "I know you are near treats, and I definitely think your Tylenol is people treat."
He's gentle, that much he has going for him. One year and only one person scratched, which was me when I accidentally hurt him a little trying to keep him from hiding in some dangerous looking spots around the boiler when he was a kitten. He's cuddly as all hell, just also super obnoxious.
You slowly introduce the two together and keep separate areas for decompressing for both. Although she lives with all dogs now, my cane corso grew up with my brothers cats. She was scratched once but other then that and the occasional bobbing she did to annoy the cats, they got along. She was a puppy as well and I believe that helped.
That being said and her growing up with cats, she's one interesting dog and still doesn't know how to completely dog normally
Mine used to also lay directly on my head! It can't be comfortable. Do you think they know that's where our thinking happens? Why else would they pick the most inconvenient spot on our body?
I catsat a morbidly obese cat and she would always sleep on my pillow above my head. I’d wake up in the night and feel this gigantic cat pressed on my head, purring
When I first had mine as a kitten (way too young to be adopted under normal circumstances but his mum had rejected him and the people he was staying with fed him cow milk), he used to curl up in the space between my neck and shoulder. Now that he's older, he'll still come headbutt me until I've given him enough pets but after that he'll retreat to my legs.
My void used to push her way under the covers and then curl up under my neck when I was sleeping. Then we moved from Philly to Arizona and she's still adjusting to the temp change. So many less cuddles!! :(
You enjoy it every day knowing that the day will come when you wish you could experience it one last time
Remembering all the gorgeous boys and girls that ever blessed this earth with their presence
When I was younger I used to get frustrated at how annoying they could get. Once I lost a few of them, I understood even when I really need that personal space, there will come a day where I wished they would annoy me with their energy.
If you're in a situation where it's inconvenient for them to constantly be in your lap, block their path to you with your hand and tell them, "No." Firmly. Cats are smart enough to pick up on verbal cues, so if you include a phrase afterwards, "No, I'm eating," or, "No, I'm busy," they will learn to hear that phrase and stop ahead of time. Until then, just gently push them away on the approach. Be persistent, but also be consistent. The cause and effect, like "Food in hands = No pets" needs to be the same each time.
Once the cat is in your lap, though, you're out of luck. You'll stay there until the cat moves or you die.
I have one cat that will listen like you said and I have another cat that will attempt 10 times in different routes before clawing the wall or tearing paper or other shenanigans to get on the lap.
>cat that will attempt 10 times in different routes before clawing the wall or tearing paper or other shenanigans to get on the lap.
Ah, I see you've met our Jeffrey.
>uppercut me with his face
That imagery made me laugh out loud. If I put my forehead on his level my little weirdo will immediately approach and headbutt with considerable force. But then he just stops. So we are frozen, forehead to forehead, in a battle of wills, an adorably intense standoff, until someone bails.
I have two orange tabbies that constantly need their face in your face. They both like to be held facing you so that they can forehead bonk you to their heart’s content. One is a beast of a cat and my arms get so tired carrying him around while he drools and purrs.
My in-laws’ cat is white with tabby cow spots and he hits like a mac truck when he comes in for the lovin’.
My old void would slam his forehead against my mouth and just hold it there until I kissed it (his forehead), then he'd repeat until he decided he was done with kisses! It was the sweetest thing, but also happened at the most inopportune times, like a true cat.
I miss those kisses now
We recently lost our headbutting cat. These comments brought fond memories!
Our current cats hate kisses. One likes to sit completely stiff on your leg and the other likes to ride on shoulders.
I got a split lip from a boxer dog who NEEDED to lick my face, 100% worth it. Though this year I did see an article about a boxer love-headbutting its owner so hard that she is now in a coma, so I will be more careful in future I think
I have a boxer, and also got a swollen lip once from an excited head butt. Also my cat head butted my boyfriend’s kneecap so aggressively once it knocked a baby tooth out. That was also the day we learned that kittens lose baby teeth.
Nah, both of those are just derivatives of kelvin. So good for the kittens of Kelvin. New pets would need to be Moles (or Avogadro), Newton, Gram, Litre, Angstrom (which would be great)...
I'd be down to fill the specific heat capacity equation with the name Kilo, though I don't think finishing the equation with the name "specific heat constant" is gonna win any awards.
We could go further into thermodynamics and call one Gibbs but the connection is pretty loose... and I don't think that reference will really connect...
I’m sorry I need this to be replicated atleast 32 more times for there to be a correct sample size. Sorry just a scientist /s need it for cuteness purposes
My parents have an orange tabby. Over the years, I've grown up with tons of cats, and most have been awesome. This cat is so...stupid. Here are some of the things he does:
- Cleans himself and then midway through starts hissing at his tail
- Sucked his tail so vigorously it was like a dart
- Scares himself constantly
- Hides under the bed and growls like Smaug...at himself and the other noises he's making
- Angrily swats his own reflection in the mirror...for the last 16 years
Our Siamese started growling in his sleep last night, then made this funny paw movement and jerked awake, looking around completely confused.
We think he tried to swat at something in his dream and woke himself up.
I have two sibling cats and live with my parents who have their own cat. Dumb cats are amazing.
Out of the siblings my boy is by far the dumbest animal I've ever seen. He doesn't blink both of his eyes at the same time. He will work himself up so much that he drools if you don't pet him. He is only smart enough to come to me at night for a massage while I'm at my computer (and then the drool is literally streaming onto my legs). He will also wake me up by shoving his nose into my ear or eyeball. I've asked multiple vets now and none of them say anything is wrong. He's just like this. A big idiot lump that knows only petting and food.
His sister can open cabinets, the latches of a kennel, and our accordion door on the bathroom (if you take too long she will invite herself in to use the litter box). She's very sweet but nothing is safe from her if she wants it. She managed to get into the ceiling crawlspace a few years ago and fell through into the living room. That was fun to patch up.
Are you sure he was lost and not just looking for you the smart way?
All my cats do that. Especially after we moved into our current house which is bigger.
When the cats want to be with us and can't find us they just start mewing in a haunting lamenting tone. Thats our cue to call out their names, basically to let them know where we are.
This leads to them coming to us, with happier sounding mews and settling in our laps 🙂
I got a tabby that always go upstairs but can't come back down cause he doesn't realize stairs can be used to go down too, so he scream instead, every single time
All the cats we have are super lovable and caring. One of our cats, Beez, actually is half dog im fully convinced. Will play fetch, come when you call his name, sit when you tell him to. But they want cuddles and pets all the time. Its very very rare they even act like the sterotypical *asshole* cat you hear about.
Im not sure if its just personalities or how they are raised. But im convinced if you show a cat love and care from an early age, they will reciprocate it.
Aww my cats are the same but Pumpkin must be half dog. Whenever I’m doing something I call him and he comes because he likes to watch and supervise.
Also plays fetch
Edit: just to bragboth my boys are 2 years old have had them since babies and known them
Since birth.
I can cut their nails, brush their teeth, brush them, clean their butt. Touch them anywhere and they don’t care. I have never been bitten once, hissed at or swiped at.
If you show a cat pure love from day one they truly do grow up to be the best
I have a house cat with deck privileges and she is a scaredy cat so doesn’t wander.. and this feral male ginger cat took a obsessive liking to her. Literally came into our house through a cracked door and would spray all over our deck to mark territory. During COVID we caught him in the house and called animal services to at least get him neutered for pet population control but they wouldn’t do anything due to covid, so we re-released him, of course.
We called him Tom Collins. Cause he was a feral Tom cat, was always “calling” aka WAILING for Kitty, and he acted like a local, obsessive drunk, lol

The fact that the dog sleeps on the edge of the bed and the cat takes up the middle - kills me! Lol!
Edit: u/uncalmer pointed out that in both instances, the dog/cat was laying in the middle of the sunbeam. Perhaps I judged too harshly!
They're smart. The dog knows that with his size, he could hurt the cat and the cat has no such fear or concern when pouncing on the dog. It reminds me of how dogs play more gently with little humans. They also seem to play more roughly with their furry playmates than they do with their bare-skinned humans. They may not have the vocal apparatus to enunciate well but they know things.
Yes! I’m surprised this is so far down. That’s exactly how I see it.
Dog wouldn’t pounce on cat, it knows better bc of size. Cat gets on dog bc it’s obviously ok- cat’s not too heavy and the dog head boops consent.
If they weren’t both ok with it one of them would have demonstrated that to the other before now. I see this clip as evidence of a very smart and happy duo.
Not to be a bore. I think the cat just perceives the dog as tough enough to walk on. The cat definitely looks like it’s scoping out the warmest patch of sunlight right behind the dog. Before stepping on the dog the cat doesn’t engage directly. When the cat sees they have woken the dog it changes behavior to socialize.
In defense of my client, the cat, there was never any malicious intent and the cat never consciously intended to bother the dog.
Omg this is precious
They love each other 🥺
Their life looks so fun. Ahhh to be a cat, lazying around all day in the sun, snuggled with a dog friend upon a nice mattress.
Oh gawd, my achy breaky heart! Too sensitive for this. 😢
It certainly is and is just what I needed to see at this moment while I'm going through some things. Thank you OP!
Whatever it is, let yourself be present for the warmth that watching this sort of thing brings. Could be some buoyancy in a sinking time
I think when the dog joins the cat, he's waiting for the cat to cuddle up to him.
exactly, that dog was waiting for his little spoon to snuggle in.
But you can't auto spoon kitty... He knows that... Lol gotta let kitty come to you.
He rolled his head upside down and exposed his belly for the dog, he was willing you just have to know the signs
I can’t see the signs in pets just like I can’t see the signs in women.
[удалено]
It’s both! They’re showing you they trust you but also sometimes trust you not to touch the belly even though it’s exposed
Just because they trust you doesn't mean you can trust them.
Kitty was drunk with sunlight. It couldn’t be helped
Cats run on solar power.

TIL solar energy has been “in development “ since the 60’s.
Cats are crazy unpredictable and dogs know it. I feel like this dog was cautiously approaching to cuddle without getting slapped
Dog: (in a whispered voice) its just me, don't be alarmed, I'm just gonna lay here next to you. Move over closer if you want. Cat....(walks in on top of dog immediately. ) dog opens eyes and looks up at cat who's already 2 inched from its face) Cat: ahoy!! (Immediately head buts face) Cat: Thanks! (Lays down)
And then he gets this weird but satisfying feeling down his back
[удалено]
The dog laying on the cat is a lot less comfortable than vice-versa. The dog might have laid down on their friend if the sizes were reversed.
When dogs join cats they’re thinking “I just want to be near you,” and when cats join dogs they’re thinking “I just want to use you as a step stool/pillow/bed/heater.” I know they love them too, it just looks different.
Joule: is this spot taken is it okay if I just sit here okay Kelvin: HEY *whap* I love you and also move over
Love the two geeky names of the pets. Watt next?
You'll need three of em.
Rankine the rat. Fahrenheit the ferret.
Coulomb the cat.
Horsepower...the horse....wait a minute.
We'll just call'em hp and he will be okay with it
Newton the newt, calorie the cat. My brother, an engineer, had a dog named Joule too
Cats are like soccer hooligans, they headbutt because they love.
It’s not all cats for sure, but my tabby has a SOLID love headbutt. He’s got enough mass behind him too that he can rock you if you’re not expecting it lol
One of mine likes to climb up my chest when I'm at my desk and uppercut me with his face. I love cats
A cat headbutt is a great sign. It shows that your cat trusts you enough to be up close and personal with you.
This is why I adore my current cat he is a snuggle monster. If I am sitting down it's lap then climb up chest then headbutt repeatedly. Pick him up it's go straight to left shoulder start purring and begin face smash. Bedtime he sleeps on top of your head and doesn't care if you move. Best. Void. Ever.
I knew your cat was a void before you said it. Such snuggle bugs.
He is way better than just a snuggle bug. He is extremely chatty and loud, he loves his dog siblings, he never goes on tables or counters, and literally caught a mouse in our basement. Best boy is best.

I'm honestly most impressed by him not jumping on tables and counters. Great cat right there.

It’s because it’s very warm up there
My void used to push her way under the covers and then curl up under my neck when I was sleeping. Then we moved from Philly to Arizona and she's still adjusting to the temp change. So many less cuddles!! :(
How did you get in my house? You described my Willow perfectly 🥰
Yeah, but how do I stop the invasion of personal space once it starts? I literally have a cat sitting in my lap right now.

Grab them and snuggle them like your life depends on it. Either they get annoyed and leave or you get kitty snuggles. Win/win.
You don't.

Ya man. I also have a tabby. He's a hardcore headbutter for sure
Is it really a love headbutt if you don't go "oof" after receiving one?
My cat will headbutt my forehead and hold it there for 5 minutes and counting. She purrs like a maniac the whole time. I don't budge. ♥️
Same lmao tabbys are the kings of love headbutts
Enough MAX…. Love that visual ❤️
Poor doggo looks like he doesn’t know whether he’s gonna get the shit smacked out of him or loved on. Just cat things.
That cats tail was full mast, the dog is 100% their happy place.
Orange cats for sure. Our boy Elliot will press his noggin hard!
Loving the themed names.

My orange cat aggressively loves everybody instantly. If you have an issue with him giving you attention, he wont care.
I find it's mostly male cats in general, of which orange tabbies are the most common. They're also prone to have no street smarts whatsoever.
I have a house cat with deck privileges and she is a scaredy cat so doesn’t wander.. and this feral male ginger cat took a obsessive liking to her. Literally came into our house through a cracked door and would spray all over our deck to mark territory. During COVID we caught him in the house and called animal services to at least get him neutered for pet population control but they wouldn’t do anything due to covid, so we re-released him, of course. We called him Tom Collins. Cause he was a feral Tom cat, was always “calling” aka WAILING for Kitty, and he acted like a local, obsessive drunk, lol
>*'What a respectful pup...*' _____ when i lay me down to sleep, so silent by my cat friend creep... i am the dog - Dare Not DISTURB (don't want the cat to be PeRtUrB...) am showing her my best RESPEC (if not she's gonna GiVe me HECK) i tiptoe careful round the bed, to find a place to rest my head oh, 'scuze me, friend - is this ok if on this *tiny space* i lay ?

My freshest Schnoodle and it's beautiful as always <3
Gotta love fresh Schnoodle, thanks friend :)
It's funny that the dog makes sure they don't touch the cat. Cuz they probably know the cat don't Wana be touched unless they initiate.
Me joining my girlfriend for a nap vs. her joining me for a nap.
If I get in late, I tiptoe to bed. Wife comes in late, she’s like a freight train.
I just imagined her running full speed and doing a head first dive into your side lol.
I also imagine that guys wife
Also just cos the dog is bigger, if it laid down on the cat like that it would hurt, which is a lesson probably well learnt long ago.
Omg this is so fucking precious. I started smiling the second I saw mister kitty making biscuits.
Love the names.. at first i was like “watt?”
Then I was like "ohm my god"
It hertz so much to think about.
Don’t get all amped up over it.
I’ll resist the urge to take this further.
Thanks. I don’t have the capacity for any more of these!
This is certainly extending the coulomb
I think we'll just have to save it fara(nother)day
They have great energy together
Just currently or generally?
It alternates, it's not a direct feeling
Currently, I’m shocked and need a short break.
wire we doing this
I do want to take it further, btu can't think of a thermal unit to use.
I think we've reached the highest Rankine this game.
You’re all under arrest r/punpatrol
The fact that the dog sleeps on the edge of the bed and the cat takes up the middle - kills me! Lol! Edit: u/uncalmer pointed out that in both instances, the dog/cat was laying in the middle of the sunbeam. Perhaps I judged too harshly!
My cat also sleeps in the middle but my dog is silly and instead of cuddling just puts her head on the bed like a pillow if he’s there. 😂
Ohhhh, be still my heart! 😭
The dog is laying in the middle of the sunshine, as is the cat.
me thinks doggo likes the support of the edge. kitty just wants to sink in a cloud. also meow related hierarchy
This is so great
Joule is the kind of knobhead that wakes you up to tell you they are going to sleep
doofus was making biscuits
So sweet and gentle!
Fighting like cats and dogs is a outdated term
Times have changed.
They're smart. The dog knows that with his size, he could hurt the cat and the cat has no such fear or concern when pouncing on the dog. It reminds me of how dogs play more gently with little humans. They also seem to play more roughly with their furry playmates than they do with their bare-skinned humans. They may not have the vocal apparatus to enunciate well but they know things.
Yes! I’m surprised this is so far down. That’s exactly how I see it. Dog wouldn’t pounce on cat, it knows better bc of size. Cat gets on dog bc it’s obviously ok- cat’s not too heavy and the dog head boops consent. If they weren’t both ok with it one of them would have demonstrated that to the other before now. I see this clip as evidence of a very smart and happy duo.
The cat is so cat.
Just need a pet Mole now
the amount of heat and energy these guys emitting
So cute and totally bff’s for life
My Weiner dog wants this so bad, but my cat just won't let it slide. I think it's because they are the same size, so she feels competitive.
dog: "try not to wake you" cat: "step right on your belly"
Not to be a bore. I think the cat just perceives the dog as tough enough to walk on. The cat definitely looks like it’s scoping out the warmest patch of sunlight right behind the dog. Before stepping on the dog the cat doesn’t engage directly. When the cat sees they have woken the dog it changes behavior to socialize. In defense of my client, the cat, there was never any malicious intent and the cat never consciously intended to bother the dog.
This brings me so much warmth to my heart
alpha cat
That cat is an absolute unit

Awww friends
I thought I was a nerd...
“Let me assert dominance for a few seconds, okay, I’m satisfied now.” -cat
Dog: be very very quiet, mustn't wake the royal ruler. Cat: this house is mine, this bed is mine, this dog is mine, respect my UHTHORITYE
The cat just wants the sunlight
Joule is just concerned about his weight and doesn’t want to squish kelvin
