When Your Pet is Jealous of Your New Puppy: A Masterclass in Side-Eye

The Silent Judge

We’ve all been there—you bring home an adorable new puppy, and suddenly your OG pet transforms into a drama queen. The vibes? Betrayal with a side of existential crisis.

Passive-Aggressive 101

Your cat’s glare could melt steel. Your dog’s sigh is louder than your alarm. They’re not mad, just… *disappointed*. And they want you to know it.

The Unwritten Rules

1. New puppy gets cuddles? Cue the dramatic flop onto the floor. 2. Puppy steals their bed? That’s a villain origin story. 3. You dare say “Who’s a good boy?” to the pup? Prepare for the cold shoulder.

Survival Tips

Bribe with treats. Apologize profusely. Accept that you’re now the worst human ever. It’s fine.
