I am not sure - but it certainly does look like there is some Australian shepherd there based on the coat.

Anecdotally, when I was manic (aka pretty much the polar opposite of depressed), colors seemed way brighter.

I don’t know how people take shitposts seriously. Do we have way too many literal thinkers on Lemmy?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

I thought so too! I hope he gets adopted soon.

Yup, that's a real kitty with huge ears.

That a hilarious story about him running away.

Studies show dogs can-and often do-feel jealousy, especially when their human gives attention to another dog.

Research from the University of Auckland and UC San Diego found that dogs displayed clear jealous behavior-like pushing, snapping, or trying to insert themselves-when their owners petted realistic dog-like toys, but not when attention was directed at inanimate objects or books .

These reactions occurred even when the "rival" was hidden from view, suggesting dogs sensed the threat to their special bond .

Experts describe this as a form of "primordial jealousy"— an emotional response rooted in social attachment-rather than the complex, self-reflective jealousy humans experience .

In short, if your pup barges in when you're cuddling another "dog," it's less about spoiled behavior and more about protecting their relationship with you.
