I did not grow up in a cat-owning household. My mom’s allergic to cats, so it was never really in the cards for me to have even one of those hairless guys. As a result, I’m a bit inept regarding meeting, petting, and generally socializing with my friend’s cats. I don’t always know the right and wrong ways to pet them because they have different sensitive areas than dogs. I usually give them head scratches, which seems to satisfy them enough. Cats are different than dogs in that they don’t typically beg for attention. When I’m hanging out with a cat, it’s far more difficult to pick up on whether they want me to pay attention to them or not. They play hard to get, and I have to respect their dignified disposition compared to the desperate nature of the canine. If you love cats and know all the secrets to their hearts, these cat memes are just for you.
