  • Actually, adding most people don’t know what mean cats actually act like and it’s almost always a communication failure on the humans part. Hissing isn’t aggression it’s just them being “easy, chief I need some space” and there are usually body language indicators waaaaaaay beforehand. Unless you’re fostering cats or around feral cats often you’ve probably never met an asshole cat, just a stressed one (especially if you’ve never met them before, it’s like a dude on the street suddenly going in for a hug, a push away isn’t being mean it’s like back off a lil I wasn’t aware that was happening idk who you are)

    edit, dogs are very similar and we just don’t watch their body language close enough to properly read how they’re trying to communicate. it’s very frustrating when you notice cause it’s kinda like, how else would you know unless someone chronically online told you or you know a pet behaviorist
