  Dogs are very good in “facial” expression and body language. They can also read human facial expression.

  With cats I agree. Cats are assholes and should be kept outside like pigeons and rats.

    Consequence of being with humans for 30,000 years. Dogs can read human tone, facial, and body language better than any other animal, including our closest relatives, chimpanzees.

    I’m a cat lover. It’s true they can be assholes, but they can be affectionate as well. They’re not nearly as domesticated as dogs are since not only have we only been living around them about a third as long, but they only really started living indoors with us for the last hundred years or so. They’re semi-domesticated.
