Los Angeles-based artist and animator Lili Chin created a handy language chart to help pet owners better understand their cat or dog. Each chart is made up of various poses and signifying moves that have a common meaning among all dog or cat breeds.
Each simplified language chart will aid in the communication between pets and owners. The graphics are simply drawn out in cartoons to decipher each mood that is commonly experience by cats and dogs.
For example, both cats and dogs use their ears to communicate. However, as humans it can be difficult to tell whether a canine is angry or sad simply by moving their ears in a specific direction. These graphics aim to aid pet owners in building happier and healthier relationships.
