BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT~ <3

Animals do not care what the hell you call the relationship between you and them. A dog or a cat will not give a name to it because they don't think in words.

I dunno, stuff like this just irritates me, my grandma being a dog trainer. Dogs are not meant to be equal with humans. They do not do the equality thing, if anything it makes them uncomfortable. They think in hierarchies. Whoever is "pack leader" is in charge, and then you have the scale all the way down to the bottom. And if you want an obedient dog, you have to make yourself "pack leader". And with the resposability of looking after the rest of the "pack" off their back, the dog will relax and let the leader take the... well, the lead. In both senses of the word.

Idk if it applies to cats; I've never owned one, but they seem kind of aloof anyway and couldn't give a toss what you called them as long as there was dinner and hugs involved in it.

In other news, I've done my knee in and it hurts like a bitch.

I dunno, my cats definitly seem to be aware of our relationship. They just look at me like "Ah slave, there you are, now rub my belly!"

But poor you about your knee! *hugs*

Well like I said, I have no idea what cats are like so yeah. >>

Haha, it's not too bad once I'm sitting down. *hug back*
