My cat used to yell if he had gone a bit without seeing anyone. I would just call out "we're right here!" and he'd prance into the room all happy to know we're around.

The comic seems to be misinterpreting cat language for dog language (like when dogs whine to get a reassuring touch/affection).

Cats aren't dogs. They don't communicate like dogs. Don't treat them like dogs then blame them for not behaving like a dog.

Well dogs' social cues are much more similar to human ones so they're much easier to understand.

Absolutely! It's just sad to see people misunderstanding and looking down on cats because they don't bother to learn their language.
