It knows only that it needs, Commander. But, like so many of us... it does not know what.

You may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.

My cat will just walk into the room, meow as loud as possible and then give me the stink eye.

You know what you did, you fiend.

Can’t you see, you gave it what it wants. It wants to feel contempt towards you

I taught mine “show me.” She yells, I hop up and say “show me” and she leads me to what she wants. Luckily she’s doesn’t have a weight problem so I can pretty much shears give her fridge snacks when she takes me to the fridge (usually).

I get that same autocorrect! "shears" when I was trying to write "always"!

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

That's adorable.

My girl is usually more hungry than her sibling so whenever she wines for food I tell her to "get her brother." She usually just makes a far more desperate sounding meowl and he comes trotting in.

He's a good natured little cat, knows when she needs backup.

They actually take many things as long as you give. And in 5 minutes it’s meau all over again.

Ah so you've met my cat.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 12 points 2 years ago

My husky is the same way. I don't know if that's normal husky behavior, or just because she happened to grow up around cats.

[-] chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 years ago

Huskies are notorious for being attention hungry. It makes them relatively easy to train despite also being characteristically stubborn. If they seem to be getting anxious, try appeasing them with a little reinforcement training for a command they know (e.g.: sit, roll over, etc.). If your dog is particularly smart, you can treat it like a quiz game and try to mix them up.

The key thing is just satisfying their desire to feel acknowledged, useful, and challenged (just like me fr fr). Checking those boxes once or twice a day generally gets you one chill pupper.

After all huskies are supposed to be running cat OS on dog hardware.
