    I’d say my cats look more like the top with “claw” instead of dig and the loyalty/protect family is still there but it’s the “I can punch my brother but no one else can” version. Never had a cat that plays fetch before so play is definitely in there.

    The cats at my parents home have a portion “RECEIVING PET” that is at least as big as the “SLEEP”, they will never get tired of pet and cuddles.

    Puppies destroy your furniture for a few months if you’re not paying attention. Cats demand sacrificial furniture that they can fuck up life.

      The youngest we have ever gotten a dog is six months, so they do end up destroying a lot, but never furniture thankfully.

      My first dog chewed up a book when she was a puppy though. I also once dropped a business card and she immediately grabbed it off the floor and ate it so fast she barely chewed it.

      Dogs are weird.

    Having owned a beagle, its brain looked more like the cat image but with “murder” replaced with an additional food.

      I have a pit bull/dalmatian mix (at least we think so) and she has “murder” as a significant part of her brain considering she’s happily killed countless animals (and brought many through the dog door). She usually doesn’t eat them, she just kills them and hangs on to them like a trophy until we can get them away from her, which is not easy.

      Also, the best day of her life is when some stupid bunny decided to give birth to her babies in our back yard and she found them and ate all of them, slurping them up one by one like spaghetti as we watched in horror. It was the best day of her life.

        Prey drive is no joke. My sister has a heeler/corgi mix, and taking her for a walk is an exercise in not dislocating your arm whenever she spots a small animal. She’s adorabloodthirsty.

        Oddly her other dog, a heeler/pit mix, is super chill with no apparent prey drive whatsoever.

    I read the purple one on the dog’s brain as “DOG” and honestly I think it could be an improvement.

      Really, I think the majority of my dog Charlie’s brain is taken up with, “hi! I’m Charlie! Pet me now!”
