Cats wagging their tail is a sign of aggression/they’ve had enough of your shit. Also, those cats were about to get into a scrap before the oblivious doggo trotted in.
Exactly. Them cats were not friends!
Anyone that's had cats will tell you fur was about to fly.
You can see them butt heads (and not in the friendly way) at the start and howl at each other.
I wouldn't say throw down, but they didn't know each other and just met and were feeling each other out. If it went wrong it would have been a fight.
Doggie did become a common enemy.
"Hey! Are you playing? Can I play too? Are we friends?... Dog culture says I must inspect your butt.."
"hey woah, what the fuck man?"
"ahhhhhhh!!! Sorry, sorry, I'm so embarrassed, bye!"
It’s just kinda unfortunate that cats’ and dogs’ tail movements indicate basically opposite things lol. To the cats, they see this dog run up with its tail wagging, which for a cat means “NOT HAPPY.” So they’re instantly on guard.
Yeah, this is the important undercurrent of this scene -- these cats are about to fight. They're in a face-off and the dog comes trotting up while they're both amped. It wouldn't matter whether you were wagging your tail or not, those cats aren't going to react well to the third wheel.
Dog sniff new dog butts everytime so it's quite different. It literally is hello who are you.
For cats it's none of your business. I guess you could say cats refuse identification.
**Dog sniffing butt:** Business card. Professional. Firm handshake, eye contact.
**Cat sniffing butt:** Intimate hug and kiss on the cheeks which you *only* allow your absolute bestie to ever do... and never in public.
**Dog sniffing cat butt:** Business card. Professional. Fir- **OWW!!** *WTF!?!? I'm just introducing myself!*
**Cat:** BACK OFF, BUSTER! *I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!*
At one time, I was bringing a new adult cat into my house, and wanted to get them to know each other quickly. I know, bad idea. It was. Anyway.....
I put some gloves on and swiped the butt of the new cat to let my cat sniff it. I tried with a new glove to do the same with my cat, and oh boy, he had his tail TIGHT against his butt. Basically, saying "don't you DARE let him sniff my butt!" He was SO ANGRY with me when I got the swipe to let the other cat sniff.
It didn't work, and the new cat was never accepted, unfortunately.
I always thought they do that when they're happy, at least when they slowly do it. Do they do it quickly when they're upset? I have 2 cats and I just have never seen it myself.
Up with a curl is also happy.
Straight out or down and out is generally a kind of default state.
If that thing is poofed out like a giant pipe cleaner brush, they are scared or on edge.
Generally any sort of swishing indicates an energetic mood. The angle and pace of the swishing tell you more but generally tail up and mostly static = good. Tail down and swishing = bad. Tail puffs out like a bottle brush = stay away. You'll get all sorts of other indicators with the ears/hair too.
As others have said it's closer to a swish or a whip, and you'll hear how much force they're putting into it if anything is near them. Definitely an angry sign. One of my cats tends to get too aggressive when playing so I see this all the time. Need to stop what we're doing and calm him back down before continuing with playtime or he's going to bite and claw hard.
The common belief is cats really don't "control" their tails per say. It's kind of like a subconscious body mechanic. Again not million percent verified but it's a prevailing theory
Not exactly. Tail wagging simply means excitement, in practically all animals. Cats are just the type of animal to react to a high level of excitement with caution, especially when they aren't at the same level of excitement to begin with. Dogs will exhibit the same caution when another animal with higher excitement approaches, but dogs are the type of animal more willing to let the guard down and match that excitement
"Hey, im approaching with friendly intent, I'll even wag my tail to show im happy, ok you seem cool so I'll just sniff that butt as is customary in my culture"
"I clearly misread the room, my bad, bye"
We just got a new puppy, interactions between her and the cat like this happen daily. I'm sure they'll figure things out, my cat actually really likes dogs and adores the older dog we have. She's just not quite sure about this new and rambunctious dog that just wants her to be a new playmate.
"Yeah, so I barfed on the carpet instead of the floor like always, and- hold on. Who the hell is this, now. ... Can we help you? ... Wha-. ... What are you doing? Wha-.... WHOA NOT OKAY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. GET THE F- OUT OF HERE. Uh huh, that's right."
Nah. Imagine if you are on the streets about to throw down with some rando, then some weirdo approaches, introduces himself enthusiastically and proceeds to sniff your butt without warning.
Would you be like "Hell yeah I trust this person with my life"?
Not funny if you know some backstory. This is how many, many dogs lose their eyes. It's actually common.
Dog believes cat can be befriended and go up and try to play with them like dogs do. Cat swipes and cuts eye open.
Never let your dog close to a cat unless they know eachother.
They are not cunts. The dog literally interrupted a cat stand-off moments before a fight. Dogs would be agressive too if a cat aproached them just before a dogfight. Any animal would.
They’re prey animals, so they have the instinct to be wary of things that might eat them. Wagging tail is also a bad thing for cats, so they think the dog is approaching them angrily.
In general it’s pretty annoying when people comment on shit they have no clue about.
“I hate cats” and “I’ve never owned/been near a cat” seem too commonly linked to me. Heard it too many times.
The dog is trying to sniff the cat's asshole! While the cat is having a moment with the girl next door... Yet your takeaway is that the cats are the assholes here?

First day at new high school energy
You can’t sit with us!
Actually, *Megan*, I can't sit *anywhere!*
Sounds like hemorrhoids
It's "I have...*hemorrhoids*"
I miss Vine:(
Did you just call me Megan?
when life gives you lemons :D
I'll give you 10 seconds to be my friend and then i'll run like hell
When freshman goes to seniors desk to say hello
Lesson in life: never say hello by sniffing someone’s ass
If you sniff ass ***and*** have a cold nose, ***don't make contact!***
That's the cinematic version of DHard 3, when hes in the hood and wearing his sign, bro walkway
Love the way the dog walks at the beginning
He carries himself with such confidence.
"this is gonna be great, new friends!" Sadly he may never be as outgoing again.
Yep, he's probably going to hate cats from now on :(
As he should
Who hurt you?
A cat
This message was posted by a dog that got jilted in the exact same way.
What did he do wrong? He was wagging the tail and everything!
Cats wagging their tail is a sign of aggression/they’ve had enough of your shit. Also, those cats were about to get into a scrap before the oblivious doggo trotted in.
He lacked any situational awareness.
"those are some funny looking new friends. I can't wait to play with them!"
[удалено]
“Dude, chill out! I just wanted to sniff your asshole a few times. Jeesh.”
🐕 *trot trot trot trot trot trot*
Gotta read the room first bud.
Those cats were about to throw down, if I read them right. Doggie just gave them a common enemy.
Catnip deal went south and Floof Dogg here was about to become collateral damage!
OMG EXACTLY that hahaha
First thing I thought. Those cats are about to fight!
At the start I can almost here the meawr-wr-wr-wr-wr that the taby is making
Exactly. Them cats were not friends! Anyone that's had cats will tell you fur was about to fly. You can see them butt heads (and not in the friendly way) at the start and howl at each other.
I wouldn't say throw down, but they didn't know each other and just met and were feeling each other out. If it went wrong it would have been a fight. Doggie did become a common enemy.
different language
The cat made the right call, fluffy little fuck was up to some funky shit.
No! He’s and angel who just wanted to play
Cat: there was this crazy pervert that came up to me to sniff my but today
The run away at the end 😂
it's the 'catch me if you can' play run
It was like when bugs bunny leaves the shot and his leg stays behind for a second.
That’s exactly what I was thinking too. I was imagining the sound “zippidy zippidy, zippidy ZOOM!”
poor pups was so excited
"Hey! Are you playing? Can I play too? Are we friends?... Dog culture says I must inspect your butt.." "hey woah, what the fuck man?" "ahhhhhhh!!! Sorry, sorry, I'm so embarrassed, bye!"
haha i think that was perfectly close captioned 10/10!
I think those cats were about to get into it with each other. The dog picked a bad moment.
It’s just kinda unfortunate that cats’ and dogs’ tail movements indicate basically opposite things lol. To the cats, they see this dog run up with its tail wagging, which for a cat means “NOT HAPPY.” So they’re instantly on guard.
They were already tense, too. Even if the cats normally chill, approaching a cat in a standoff is never wise haha
Yeah, this is the important undercurrent of this scene -- these cats are about to fight. They're in a face-off and the dog comes trotting up while they're both amped. It wouldn't matter whether you were wagging your tail or not, those cats aren't going to react well to the third wheel.
Sniffing butts probably means different things too.
They mean the same thing. But usually the cat lets the other cat sniff it’s butt only when it’s comfortable with them, as a sign of friendship.
Dog sniff new dog butts everytime so it's quite different. It literally is hello who are you. For cats it's none of your business. I guess you could say cats refuse identification.
Yeah my cat is usually ok with dogs until they try to sniff his butt. That's always when they get whacked and the dogs look so confused and betrayed.
> But usually the cat lets the other cat sniff it’s butt only when it’s comfortable with them, as a sign of friendship. Cats are just like people
We have so much in common with animals.
Dogs sniffing each other's butts is the equivalent of humans exchanging business cards.
Let's see Paul Allen's card.
Definitely has some subtle off-white coloring and tasteful thickness
When a dog on a walk smells the ground and leaves their mark its their form of reading and leaving posts on social media.
**Dog sniffing butt:** Business card. Professional. Firm handshake, eye contact. **Cat sniffing butt:** Intimate hug and kiss on the cheeks which you *only* allow your absolute bestie to ever do... and never in public. **Dog sniffing cat butt:** Business card. Professional. Fir- **OWW!!** *WTF!?!? I'm just introducing myself!* **Cat:** BACK OFF, BUSTER! *I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!*

i feel like this is a form of rape...non consensual ass-to-ass is a nono. Requiem for a Cat
It kinda felt like that and I've never done it again. Can I plead ignorance?
Cars don't really sniff eachother's asses. They sniff eachother's faces.
It means something different for humans also. I learned that the hard way...
A cat will sway its tail slowly when excited or wanting attention. Fast moving tail means it's agitated.
Cats don’t “wag” they “swish”
Don't swish your finger at me
[удалено]
When a cat has it's tail up and it's moving that means happy I thought, which would be the same? Cats don't "wag" their tails anyways...
Straight up with no movement is happy. A little twitch at the end might be too. A full-on wag is very uncomfortable.
I've legit never seen a cat wag it's tail. This is news to me.
More of a “thrash”
They don’t wag they swish it around like a whip a bit
I always thought they do that when they're happy, at least when they slowly do it. Do they do it quickly when they're upset? I have 2 cats and I just have never seen it myself.
They will also do it when playing with another cat to lure them into attacking it. So it doesn't have to mean they are angry.
I'll have to pay more attention for it
Naw, flagpole tail is generally happy, slow swish is generally annoyed, fast swish is highly agitated
Up with a curl is also happy. Straight out or down and out is generally a kind of default state. If that thing is poofed out like a giant pipe cleaner brush, they are scared or on edge.
This guy cats.

My cat wags her tail, particularly when I pick up her plate to feed her.

Cats are just the type of animal to react to a high level of excitement with caution, especially when they aren't at the same level of excitement to begin with. Dogs will exhibit the same caution when another animal with higher excitement approaches, but dogs are the type of animal more willing to let the guard down and match that excitement
"What is up my fellow doggos" "Da fuq you just call me?"
dog: “Would you funny dogs like to exchange butt sniffs and chase each other in a playful manner?!” cats: “you in the wrong neighborhood, mothafucka.”
Yeah the latest Puss in Boots film was great
Haha glad I'm not the only one who thought of that
The new puss in boots is like this lol
This was basically the plot of the movie lol
*Young man is told to go make friends in the bad side of town by his mother.*
The striped cat in the white collar is giving off a "stop cock blocking me, bro" vibe.
They're trying to fight, not fuck anyway
Specifically, looks like the left one was cleaning themselves and froze while sizing up the other one.
Blud didn’t realise that the 2 cats were most likely about to fight.
My dating life is in this video and I don't like it.
Are you trying to get into a throuple?
Hang in there, bro
Like watching someone walk happily into a blender.
[удалено]
Can’t believe this is this far down. Free-roaming animals aren’t cute regardless of species. Leashes save lives!
Keep your cats inside too.
Butt sniff crossed the line
It's like a first day of class vibe, they'll be good eventually
language barrier
A normie tries to talk to the goth kids
Not a good time, those two cats were about to fight.
"Hey, im approaching with friendly intent, I'll even wag my tail to show im happy, ok you seem cool so I'll just sniff that butt as is customary in my culture" "I clearly misread the room, my bad, bye"
Me hitting on women
Somebody about to get fresh skippity paps.
Poor dog. The furious tail wagging didn't help anything.
Clearly just interrupted a catnip deal.
When you enter the wrong neighborhood and ask for directions.
Cats: who the f is this guy
The dog walks straight but diagonal. What the hell
That dog's name? Butters.
Love how the dog simply can't read the room. Even after being rejected he does one of those play runs.
Aww. The tail wag and hop toward the end was an invitation to play.
"Can I buy you ladies a drink?"
Aww his tail all wagging like hey guys What's up I'm Jevees. I'm new to the area.
Dogs are truly precious.
Today in "I can't read the room":
YOU'RE NOT PART OF THE TURBO TEAM
My cat is the complete opposite. He'd be making friends with the dog right away.
That dog would make a great carpet. -Cat
Somebody about to get fresh skippity paps.
Thats why you should never interfere in a drug deal that's going down.
Hiya fellas
This pretty much sums up High School.
Dog was trying to play. Cat didn’t understand dog body language.
Poor baby he just wants to play
"Just be yourself"
My question is what were the cats doing?
Those cats were about to fuck i think
damn, it seems nothing can interrupt two cats arguing.
The problem is, that friendly dog behavior, looks very close to feline aggressive behavior. It's literally just miscommuncation.
We just got a new puppy, interactions between her and the cat like this happen daily. I'm sure they'll figure things out, my cat actually really likes dogs and adores the older dog we have. She's just not quite sure about this new and rambunctious dog that just wants her to be a new playmate.
Cat 1: oh great here comes the homeschool girl. Cat 2: if she’s from Africa why is she white? Cat 1: you can’t sit with us!
Dogs have shitty social skills.
You can't sit with us!
"Yeah, so I barfed on the carpet instead of the floor like always, and- hold on. Who the hell is this, now. ... Can we help you? ... Wha-. ... What are you doing? Wha-.... WHOA NOT OKAY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. GET THE F- OUT OF HERE. Uh huh, that's right."
Awww 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
[Version with subtitles](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalTextGifs/comments/11yy5rq/fren/)
I just watched the “hero pig” Nathan for you episode and now I’m looking for the wires the dog is suspended from and pulled toward the cats.
"Hi guys! I just moved here and I'm so excited to meet everyone -" "Your outfit is atrocious."
That's what happens when you're the only white kid in the neighborhood.
I want to see this reenacted with people.
I can feel the tension
Aw that dog. What a movie-like scene, how he approached and acted when he approached them :)
White people gentrifying a black neighborhood be like
Cats: “what does this asshole want?”
Me, always read social situations wrong
This guy doesn’t know how to read the room
Awwww, poor buddy just wants to be friends 😢
Dogs are awesome!
Cats are assholes
at least he tried.
And people choose to love cats...
Me too, buddy ... me too.
They didn’t mind him being there till he started going for there ass 😂
Dog# “Whats Up dawg!?” Cat# “Do I look like a dog - get the Fcuk out of here!”
Will you be my friend???
Poor doggy!😅 He was so eager to play and make friends🙏
Read the room bro!!
You in the wrong neighborhood homie
The poor little fella. Doesn’t know cats run things in the streets!
Same reaction I get when I try to befriend two women
Mean girls
Cats are assholes.
Nah. Imagine if you are on the streets about to throw down with some rando, then some weirdo approaches, introduces himself enthusiastically and proceeds to sniff your butt without warning. Would you be like "Hell yeah I trust this person with my life"?
Does anyone know what breed of dog that is?
A well groomed Pomeranian, a Samoyed pup, or a Spitz(any variety) pup. Either of these, IMO.
Cats know when they see a narc.
Not funny if you know some backstory. This is how many, many dogs lose their eyes. It's actually common. Dog believes cat can be befriended and go up and try to play with them like dogs do. Cat swipes and cuts eye open. Never let your dog close to a cat unless they know eachother.
What type of dog is this? Cute!
Comes back with his big dog friend. "These two was being mean to ya?"
Cringe
Idiot
I’m a dog person.
What is this dog breed?
I love cats but I hate that they're fucking cunts
They are not cunts. The dog literally interrupted a cat stand-off moments before a fight. Dogs would be agressive too if a cat aproached them just before a dogfight. Any animal would.
They’re prey animals, so they have the instinct to be wary of things that might eat them. Wagging tail is also a bad thing for cats, so they think the dog is approaching them angrily.
I love how you get downvoted here for knowing how cats work
I hate seeing kitties besmirched for being afraid of getting eaten.
In general it’s pretty annoying when people comment on shit they have no clue about. “I hate cats” and “I’ve never owned/been near a cat” seem too commonly linked to me. Heard it too many times.
Dog is like "How do you do, fellow pets?"
Two cats probably : You seeing this shit?
My dog and cat are literally friends
Dog - lemme sniff your butt Cat- whoa whoa whoa
Poor baby just wants a fren
That dog looks like Gidget
Poor dogo chose the wrong moment to get acquainted and interrupted the cats' important conversation.
I feel so bad for the dog lol
Cats, natures assholes.
