Why are cats assholes?

I come home from vacation and my dog is like OMG You're back! YAY WOLF WOLF WOLF WOLF jumping up and down on me, but my cat glares at me from across the room as if to say fuck you, asshole.

Tell that to our Calis, who insists on being up on the table right next to me all damn day long, making doing things at the computer difficult to say the least.

I actually can't stand it when dogs bark and slobber and/or jump on me. So it's good I don't have one -- I'm low-tolerance for dog behaviors. But I wish them well.

NoName would greet me from there, and plant the ONLY kiss she ever planted on me on
my cheek to welcome me home. Cats differ and she was the most affectionate cat I've
EVER had by far.
.
She would sometimes stroke me absentmindedly.

Three years now and I still miss her every day.

because you didn't have her permission to go on vacation and leave her behind.

She'll be offended for a bit before she forgives you.
