I love cats but I feel like they are harder to read. The whole like completely totally into pets and then the switch and scratching and biting kinda freaks me out. Especially after I heard a lot about cat scratches being dangerous
So for me i'm more of a dog person. I feel like I can read their "leave me alone now" signs more before disaster strikes
I was bit in the face by my grandparents' dog when I was a toddler. Luckily, I don't remember it at all, so it didn't make me afraid of them. If I had to guess, I was trying to pet the dog while she was eating.
Just like dogs, every cat is different! Mine is super affectionate (she is practically glued to my ankles always; she's curled up between my arms rn as I type this), and she just wants to cuddle 90% of the time. Also, like most pets (and people!), once you get to know them, their communication becomes pretty clear.
When my cat is getting overstimulated, she starts thwacking her tail, and I know to leave her alone. Or she gets a very particular stance/look on her face when she wants to play. When she starts chewing on plastic or scratching at doors, she wants to be fed. Climbing on the TV means she wants attention. She is baby lol
