Wives Claim Dogs Listen Better than Husbands
A third of married women with pets consider their animals to be better listeners than their husbands, an AP poll found. And it’s not just women who reach out for furry support—18% of men say their pets are better listeners than their wives. “You definitely feel much more comfortable sharing your problems,” said one New York husband. “A little lick from a big dog can go a long way.”
“Pets are great because they provide us with unconditional support,” said one pet psychologist. “They never talk back, never give us the wrong opinion, and they are always there for us. As much as we love our spouses or significant others, sometimes they are not there, sometimes they have their own thoughts about how we should deal with situations.”

I cheerfully accept that our cats listen to the wifey better than me.
The wifey is entirely to blame.

Well this should scare you all, thinking your pets are all lovey and nice to you. I know mine are demon spawn and I don’t even believe in said demons or their spawn.

They always seem to know when you’re upset about something, don’t they? My cats are extra attentive with their buttholes when I am feeling sad.
Dogs do know when you are upset. Cats and their butt-holes..that just makes me laugh my ass off.
