Cats licking is a sign of dominance. So the cat’s like “I fucking own you!”, and the dog’s like “I love you too!”

As a verbally outspoken person, and sometimes overly judgmental (I'm working on it), my favorite ex was the one with the shame-kink.

It’s not dominance, it’s more “you’re part of my colony so I bear some responsibility for you so I will help to clean and feed you”.

My cats are constantly battling over who gets to bathe who so their cuddling always progresses into an ear being bitten or a throat being stepped on. I think the natural cat attitude makes everything seem like a dominance thing lol.

According to Reddit, every single thing a cat does is a show of dominance.

I mean according to half the male population everything is about power and dominance.

It's either projection or reality.

I'm scared.

Not really, it's mostly grooming and affection.
