THE LIVING ROOM — Dogs are all good, cats are all evil is not a stereotype I wish to perpetuate, so bear with me.
I am an animal lover in general, but I will always say that I prefer cats over dogs. I think it’s because cats appeal to my introverted nature rather than any “evil” tendencies I have. (I mean, people don’t call me Marth Vader for nothing. But I digress.)
As far as comparing introverts and cats goes, some major similarities jump out at me. We both get more uncomfortable than seems initially reasonable when our routine changes or we meet new people, we both like long stretches of quiet alone time (which may or may not involve naps) and sometimes we both don’t have the words to properly convey our true feelings.
The cat in this video certainly doesn’t have any words with which to say “no,” but it sure has a look that could dampen even the friendliest of personalities.
I don’t know if these animals know each other and share their space on a regular basis, but it is obvious that the cat has clearly had enough noise and advances from a playful schnauzer. With one terrifying and unwavering look, you know this cat is d-o-n-e DONE with the dog.

Basically, “if looks could kill” is a phrase that could not apply more. Indeed, if I were an actor, this is the video I would study if I were playing the next Bond villain.
