I'm suspicious of every adult person who says they hate cats or dogs. I don't think it's normal to hate the whole species. I get "I'm not a fan of" but hate...? I always imagine them throwing around poisoned baits and stuff like that.

I think it has a lot more to do with other things. Like if a cat sprays urine around the house, or barfs up a dead mouse on your rug next to your bed while you sleep or scratch, bite, hiss or growl at you or do other such things. Some cats are really aggressive. I like cats but don’t know how some people put up with them if they are like that. I’ve seen a Siamese cat that was constantly growling or threatening to attack, it was at a neighbors home. If you wanted to walk from one room to another and that cat was sitting near the don’t you wouldn’t dare. Imagine if you never had a cat before and that was the first one you saw. You’d probably hate cats thinking that they all could do the same.

My cat is definitely his own man. I can't control him and I don't want to, and that's alright with me. I still love him.

That's exactly why I love them. They wear their hearts on their sleeves ..you never have to guess how they feel about anything so when they choose you ...you know you are loved by them ...

I don't know, I'm the type to take control when I need to but don't feel the need to without reason, and cats adore me and I adore cats

I know there’s truth to that
That’s exactly why I like cats

I'm suspicious of anyone who says they hate cats. Preferring dogs is fine, but "hating" them when it isn't based on some sort of fear or something is kinda sus 😒

My cat just doesn't listen 😭

this is why I'm suspicious of dog people
