Quote:Few dog owners enjoy leaving their pet alone while they head off to work.

But most dog lovers have no idea how their animals cope once they have been left alone.

Now scientists have revealed how dogs spend up to half an hour howling, barking and whining after their owner leaves them alone.

And for some pets, the torment lasts for hours.

Yeah he uses the opportunity to get into things he would never do when we're home.
And to quote Zakk Tull, stand there and act like nothing happened.

Have you guys tried setting up a webcam to see what he's up to?

Actually we have. That's how we know what he's doing

Yeah, I don't like cats in the bed.
Not to mention I'm allergic.

The owners are speciesist.
I did read some comments about the dog most likely being let out way more (thus dirtier) and te cat being an indoors cat, that might explain it partly.
It could also be that the cat is just too stubborn to be taught staying away from the bed.
I'm leaning towards speciesism thoguh.

Kudos for bringing the speciesist angle to the forefront of mainstream thought ...
