felinesaresuperior

I found out that many times i pat a dog, and its owner comments that it usually doesnt let anyone pat it. feral cats seem to favor me over other people as well. 

i just wonder what others experience is.

  • Sorry I clicked post before saying it's not them sensing fear with him as he was never afraid of them.  It is something else.  I worked in dog behaviour and training for a while and have read a lot about it.  I would be the one that would usually argue the child has done something to bring on the dog's aggression but I have not to this day worked out what that was.  I put the mauling down to a high prey drive in the foster dog as Dan didn't do anything that might have got that reaction.  It has always puzzled me.
