It is a known fact that cats and dogs are very different. Dogs show joy by wagging their tails. Cats show displeasure by doing the same. Dogs attempt to make friends by engaging and playing. Cats show their affection by silently sitting next to you and allowing you to bask in their presence. Dogs cause chaos and feel ashamed about it, while cats cause chaos and stare you down, daring you to say anything afterward. Some of the differences between cats and dogs are obvious, but there are also some that are… less obvious. And a whole lot funnier. And that's what this viral twitter thread about lamp chop toys captures pawfectly.
Apparently, dogs love their lamp chop toys. Yes, dogs, i.e. more than one. It seems to be a universal experience for dogs to cherish these toys. While cats, when given the exact same toy… straight-up demolish it, in various mildly concerning but absolutely hilarious ways.

You know… we have been on animal twitter for a long, long time, and this is the first time that we have encountered the lamp chop phenomenon. We did not think, when we went into this thread, that there would be so many dogs in there who are obsessed with this thing. And now, we're going to buy one for our pets as well.
But as cute as all the dogs are, finding the response to this thread on cat twitter was… chef's kiss. The dogs may love these toys to heck, but the cats… for some reason, seem to want to destroy these toys in the most intense ways possible. And it's ameowzing.
