Joke doesn't work if you try to swap out "dogs" for "cats" for at least three reasons.

@copiesofcopies

Cats already had written language.

False; they just write in their own primary sense, not ours.

@futurebird @copiesofcopies Cats adapted cuneiform from the rabbits' coneyform.

@futurebird Dogs use eyebrow code. That is everything.
