Dog owners should talk to pets like babies. Cat owners should just say "yes sir", and bow.

Ha ha ha ha. I threaten to turn my cat into a fur sock. (She's not big enough for a pair).

I talk to my dog like a 3 year old.... He minds about as good as one, lol.

I've heard that dogs are about as intelligent as toddlers. Cats? Not so much.

My cat is decently intelligent... she just has a stubborn streak... and doesn't really trust humans all that much, lol.

@nerdydad Dont mistake sycophancy for intelligence. The only reason dogs listen to people is because of their eternal quest for food. Dogs are incredibly stupid.
