Comment on Since cats don't pant like dogs how do they release trapped heat?
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 6 days agoYou just see more dogs running around excited than you do cats…
A cat is a solitary predator that uses stealth than pounces.
Dogs are pack predators, they get food by running around making a shit ton of noise and hoping something runs so the pack can chase it down.
That translates to modern pets day to day activity.
If you ever saw a cat run around like a dog, it would pant. If you saw a dog that acts like a cat. You’d never see it pant.

I see dogs just laying in their dog bed in the shade panting. I see cats playing in the sun on a hot day not panting.

Cats play by ambushing something over and over and rolling around with it…
Dogs play by running sprints as long as someone keep throwing a ball…
I’m not sure what your confusion still is

If a dog is lying in the shade panting, and it wasn’t just doing zoomies, that might honestly be a cause for concern.
