Dogs and Cats Cortisol Levels

Text on the meme

*dogs eating* LOW MEDIUM HIGH CORTISOL Cats: CORTISOL LEVEL LOW NORMAL HIGH

What it means

A dog eagerly eats from a bowl while a cortisol gauge points toward high. The clip then cuts to a black cat eating calmly, with its cortisol gauge staying low; the joke is that dogs become extremely stressed or overexcited by food while cats remain unbothered. Chelsey Hettinger’s “The Long Way Home” plays underneath, giving the comparison a light, playful mood and making the exaggerated contrast feel like a reaction meme.
