--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 16 Feb 2014, 23:22 ---Why is it that being around happy people makes bad moods worse but that it's mood-elevating to be around happy dogs and cats?
--- End quote ---
People are happy near you, thereby creating a contrast between their happiness and your unhappiness that makes the latter seem more stark for the comparison.
Dogs are happy with you, pooling their happiness with your unhappiness to create an improved average between the two.
Cats are happy at your expense. Because cats are dicks.

I've known a few cats that had some empathy. Cats will often seek out the most distressed looking person in the room to go and comfort them.
Often, this person is distressed because they've just seen a cat, and they are horribly allergic to cats.

And the awkward unexpected pubic hair.

Ahh. Time for another musical, now with Dale performing. It has been a while since last time. Are the heart-farts real? Is Dale really floating across the floor? Do we have a new antigravity theory? Or is it all inside Jeph's head? (Duh! Of course it is inside Jeph's head.)

--- Quote from: NilsO on 17 Feb 2014, 01:35 ---True. Cats only have self-interest. They (sometimes) like to be scratched, they want food, and they want a nice place to sleep. Other than that, they don't give a damn about you.

Cats get a bum rap. While it's a common enough stereotype, it doesn't really match my experience with a good many of the critters.
