I’ve always found dogs more interesting than cats–no doubt in part because I had a beagle and German shepherd while growing up instead of feline companions. But a new book by a cat psychiatrist (yes, that’s a thing) has helped me to see the matter with fresh eyes.
I write about The Interpretation of Cats at @Medium and explain what I learned from it, including that cats and dogs reacted differently to the lockdowns and boom in remote work early in the pandemic. It seems that dogs liked having their owners at home (more chances to play and beg for treats) while cats saw their space as being occupied and wanted to have it back. Did you know that? I didn’t, and if not, you might enjoy .
