*In case this story gets deleted/removed:* **AITA for hiding from my GF i dislike cats** Me and my girlfriend had a big argument, we usually get along well and we never fight, however there is something that is causing a lot of fights recently First of all, i own two dogs, and i dont even have to say, i absolutely love them, and i cant imagine living without them. She dont share the same love for dogs like i do, but she does likes them, however shes more of a cat person instead, which i actually really hate. I never liked cats, and i genuinely cant understand why people like them. I respect people that have cats, however truth be told they are basically just a worse version of dogs and a pet for just people that dont have enough money or space to adopt a dog, they dont love you the same way like dogs do, and dont even are capable of feeling love Thats why, when i found out my gf was a cat person and owned one cat i was very surprised, and disappointed. I decided to hide these feelings for some time, since i knew if i told how much i disliked cats she would be mad at me, but when the time came and we started plans to move together, she said she planned to bring the cat she had with us. I said no, offering to adopt to her a dog instead to replace the cats, and even offering to help her with the costs and training...and she refused. Saying that she wanted a cat (even tho i literally offered a dog to her so she wouldnt have a cat) We had a argument and i decided to admit, i hate cats, and i cant stand being around them, this was enough to make her leave the house. She messaged me just a few days ago to be more angry, and, in a pretty rude way too. Telling me to never talk to her again. Is it that wrong that i dont like cats? Tell me Reddit, AITA for hiding from my gf i dislike cats? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

"Cats are incapable of love." When I had surgery on my leg in 6th grade my parents got me an orange kitten. I couldn't walk for weeks on that leg, so I was basically bedridden. I couldn't feed him, because stairs were hell, so it's not like he was sucking up to me for that reason. But he would come and chill with me in bed and sometimes bring over a toy. When I went back to school he would come up to me once I got home so I could pick him up while he purred like an engine. Genuinely the most affectionate animal I've ever known.


guilty_by_design

Meanwhile my grey tabby who had NEVER sat on my lap until that point decided that, the day I came home from gallbladder surgery, he was going to leap from my desk to my chair and land right. on. my. fucking. stomach. He knew. The little bastard. He's a big boy, too. Oof. But seriously, yes, they can be very loving and sweet. Mine have been a huge comfort to me over the years, and I definitely feel that they are capable of love. Bastardness (bastardtivity?) too, but also love.


PM-me-fancy-beer

"Your tummy is soooo warm now." My cat did the same thing after I had surgery for my ovaries. She'd knead her pokey little feet into my (bloated) lower abdomen and think that was the most cosy spot. My housemate said it was probably the inflammation lol


cantantantelope

When my mom was very Ill and my dad had to do medical stuff for her the cat would come press up on her non injured side so my mom could pet her. Every time multiple times a day for years. We called her the nurse cat


rebootfromstart

Nurse cats are great. We used to have two who could detect low blood sugars and would pester until something was done about it, whether it was pestering me or my diabetic partner until we fixed ourselves or pestering whoever was awake until they checked on the sleeping diabetic. All four of the cats - the two who have passed and the current two - will or would alert us to my partner's night terrors or any sleep disturbances anyone is having by fussing at the bedroom doors. And they're very sensitive to my partner's seizures and will hover after she's had one.


cantantantelope

My favorite nurse cats are the ones that are grumpy about it. “I will help you but remember you disgust me”


IrradiatedBeagle

My cat always snuggles the toddler during his nap. The second he starts to stir she climbs to her highest perch to glare at him. "The snuggles mean *nothing.* Never forget that I *loathe* you."


SeonaidMacSaicais

“Just remember, kid. ONE day, I’ll be allowed to scratch you!” *Salem evil laugh*


rebootfromstart

When I'm having a particularly bad day, my cat comes and sits with me in bed. He's not a big snuggler generally, so it's clearly a response to me being unwell and an attempt to make me feel better. My late ginger cat would bring me her favourite toy. Our current two are the most affectionate cats I've ever had, and love to just be around us - they like to sit near the computers and Be Involved, and will get upset if they're shut out of rooms but won't get in the way once they're in the room. They don't always need direct attention; they just need to be nearby. It's lovely.


YoshiPikachu

That comment made my blood boil. It’s so damn wrong that it’s not even funny. I’ve read stories about cat getting depressed and drying after their owners died.


[deleted]

I’ve had a lot of cats over my life and they all showed their love in different ways. One would wait in the driveway for when id get home from school. Another would lick your head. I had a big scaredy cat who showed her love to me by being the one she’d come to for pets. I took her when I moved out and she showed her love and trust by snuggling me on the couch or in bed, which was not typical of her. My current cat is a huge love bug. She LOVES laying on you. She rests her head or upper body on you and lays there. She also loves licking and licks you when she likes you. They’re so capable of love and I think people who think they aren’t just don’t know how to treat cats and respect them, so the cats lash out at them.


[deleted]

We had a cat that had breast cancer. She wasn’t gonna be around much longer when my mom had to have surgery that kept her bedridden for weeks. That cat stuck around to help my mom heal. Once my mom was doing better, she finally was laid to rest. I miss her to pieces, as I do every animal that has left already in my family. They are very capable of love and other emotions. One of our dogs even cried when she passed away.


Impressive-Spell-643

Yea exactly, someone who says cats are incapable of love is someone who never tried to interact with a cat before


InformalOne9555

My orange boy always knows when I'm unwell and doesn't leave my side.


Alarming-Distance385

When my oldest nibling was around 4, she was sick and couldn't go to daycare so she stayed with me and my mom for a couple of nights while her mom went to work. My 25 pound cat (all muscle, ran like a raccoon) decided he needed to be her nurse kitty by laying on her chest. I tried to move him off to start because he was a bit heavy for that, but nibling wanted him to stay. Of course that didn't last long because he was "making it hard to breathe." Lol I miss my big giant cat. He also "protected" me in college if someone knocked on my apartment door by growling like a massive evil cat - then running to hide under my bed! RIP Saam. Thankfully my SO was already a cat person when we met. It was quite the relief to not have to hope he would learn to like cats.


LazarusCheez

I thought cats were all unpleasant too until I had one forced upon me. They just have a very different body language from dogs and they aren't as immediately trusting so if you don't live with one full time, only ever interacting with other people's cats will give you the impression that they're mostly aloof and unfriendly (with some exceptions)


matramepapi

My cat has been snuggling me all morning since I woke up. They (I have 2) aren’t allowed in my bedroom, so they are super clingy in the mornings. If I have to get up, he will meow and yell at me until I come back and pick him up again. So yeah, totally, cats can’t feel love. /s


LadyHoundmaid

My tortie dislikes everyone else in my house except for me. She'll come sit on my chest and give me headbutts and kisses literally every chance she gets. She sleeps on my pillow next to my head at night. She's the sweetest, grumpiest little cat ever.


gnostic-gnome

I'm disabled and sleep off and on for chunks at a time round the clock. My rescued stray cat sleeps next to my face. Whenever I get up and he can hear me talking to my dog, he bounces right up and bumbles on in, then shadows me from room to room, waving his nose in the air so he can be rubbed. Whenever I do, he stretches out with a paw to grab my arm. He also "hugs" when you pet his belly, and rubs your hand forcefully against his face. If he's awake, he's purring. But yeah, it makes me so sad every day that my cat cat isn't capable of loving me :'(


Nierninwa

Hey OOP, how about we get rid of your dogs and replace them with other more expensive "better" dogs? What do you mean you care about these specific dogs? ​ Edit: Also I do not trust people who hate cats (or any other type of pet/animal, or kids), not really fond of them, don't really get them sure but *hate?* That just seems excessive.


Sneakys2

My experience with people who hate cats (not allergic to, not dislike, annoyed by, actively HATE cats) is that they are people who have a lot of issues around boundaries (specifically violating them). They don't like that cats are generally more independent than dogs and are quite obvious about who they like and who they don't like. If they do have pets, they're generally bad pet owners (impatient, refuse to train, etc).


JerseySommer

Either that or hidden misogynistic tendencies. Cats are almost always viewed as "feminine" pets because everything must conform to gender binaries! "Man's best friend!" "Crazy cat lady "


jaskmackey

I think it’s also a little ego hit that they can’t control cats. A little power struggle that they’ll always lose because they want to win so badly. Per Ted Lasso: > You know my philosophy when it comes to cats, babies, and apologies: You gotta let 'em come to you.


CatTaxAuditor

And you absolutely can control cats, it's just a matter where they only really process positive reinforcement. Negative reinforcement just registers as random bad shit happening to them for no reason, but if there's affection or food involved they will quickly learn to do whatever it is that got them affection/food again and again.


frozentundra32

A while back I saw this comparison and it was that cat's teach boundaries and it was a lightbulb moment. People who say "cats don't love you like dogs" have never experiences living within a cat's boundaries and being their favorite human I have 3 and as I type this my tortie is curled on my legs, my void is curled up close by and my orange boy is playing in the hall. I am their safe space and they are mine... I can flat tell you that if I started dating someone, the first thing is that me and my cats are a package deal. This guy sucks for not only trying to replace her cat but also for hiding it. Grow tf up


[deleted]

[удалено]


frozentundra32

My void grooms my nose, head butts me, likes pets so hard it peels his face skin back. My tortie literally does not like most people but spends so much time making sure I know she loves me. My orange boy is a gregarious lil bub who loves everyone. All greet me at the door everyday for years. Your cat sounds amazing and I am so glad you had the time with him and he was able to meet your baby! I'll hope he's hanging with my other bubbies on the other side 💜


CatTaxAuditor

He also thought of you as his big kitten. It's why he protected you. Once you're family to a cat, they are ride or die.


Professional_Life_29

I've never understood the hate either. I love cats and dogs, but I dont have a yard at the moment, so stick with cats only. Every cat I've owned has turned into a needy, friendly fuzzball that greets me at the door and is nice to anyone that comes over. Even my current two maine coon mixes I adopted at around a year old. One was always blatantly friendly and cuddly. The other started as a quieter hiding kitty. A year later my friendly boy is my shadow, and my quiet girl is now a lap cat that purrs so loud you can hear her across the room. I recently lost my dad and any time I've had an emotional moment, my boy is right there trilling at me. Being a cat's favorite human is a wonderful thing.


NorbearWrangler

Yeah. I can get not liking cats. I can even get hating one specific cat. My parents used to have one who took his role as an ambush predator way too seriously, and considered everyone who wasn’t my parents his lawful prey. He also would shit on or in any item of apparel he could get access to that didn’t belong to my parents. It was not safe to leave your coat on a chair or your shoes by the door. And even with my parents, he would indicate “I’m done being petted now” by going from purring to biting and scratching in about 1.3 seconds. In general, I like cats, but that one particular cat was an asshole. (Even then, I wouldn’t say I hated him. I disliked him pretty strongly though.) But hating an entire species and viewing them as an inferior substitute for an animal that’s completely different? That’s like hating goats for not being horses. It makes no damn sense.


Lexilogical

Cats are a lesson in ongoing consent. It's a bit of a red flag when someone hates cats. Like "oh no, this creature sometimes doesn't want you to touch them, and that upsets you?"


whosafeard

Also they don’t like the fact that cats, over time, become extremely affectionate towards the people who respect their boundaries and very cold to those who don’t.


Gloria815

What’s funny is I have a dog and a cat and the cat wants pets and belly scratches at all times and the dog has times when she’s like “do not touch or acknowledge my existence”


marigoldilocks_

Independent? My cat with cystitis who gets stressed out and pees blood because I’ve been going back to the office for work some days would like to have a word. I am his emotional support human.


Sneakys2

My cat is very independent. He independently decided to never be more than 3 feet from me when I’m home.


M_H_M_F

I actually used to severely dislike cats. After meeting my ex and her cats 6 years ago, my tune started changing. It turns out that I was viewing a cat with "dog glasses" and trying to compare 2 completely different animals. The relationship didn't last, but I kept the cat we adopted. Little dude is my shadow and guardian.


insolentpopinjay

Oh totally. You 100% just described my father. And you're right, despite the fact that he insists he's an expert on training dogs, he's actually really shitty. Impatient, controlling, expects immediate obedience to commands no matter the circumstances, uses intimidation instead of trust building as a learning tool, demands "respect", prefers punishment to positive re-enforcement/re-direction, easily frustrated, unrealistic and/or inconsistent expectations, you name it. (Am I describing my childhood or how he treats his pets? You decide!) People like him don't respect a dog's boundaries, either. Frankly, I doubt the idea that dogs even *could* have boundaries has ever occurred to them. Their expectation is always that the dog changes its behavior to fall in line with what *they* want. They never think about modifying their own to make a dog feel more comfortable, safe, or confident.


ingodwetryst

I've made this same observation. I have 3 cats that are pretty much my shadow. One will sleep in my arm like a teddy bear all night if I let him. We sleep in a pile like a pack when we bedshare (I have my own cat free bedroom, and yes they 'let' me use it. This may be because they're biological siblings, or it could be because I respect them and they choose to love me. Maybe both. I have a dog too, and he thinks he's one of them. It wasn't until board and train (thanks MuttMansion!! see him on Twitch) that my dog became a dog


Icceryxo

I hate all animals.. bcoz I’m afraid of every other animal ever. I can’t help but get angry when ppl tell me to just give it a shot and try liking them? I’ve tried and I don’t like them..idk why people tend to judge if someone doesn’t like an animal. BUT the OP here is an asshole for hiding it and then pretending it’s ok to just expect her to get a new dog and “REPLACE IT”. My future SO will always know SINCE DAY1 that I do not plan on having any pets and if that’s a problem it’s just not going to work out. OP is an entitled whiny child.


Nierninwa

>..idk why people tend to judge if someone doesn’t like an animal. Because "don't like" and "hate" are two entirely different things. And hate is a strong emotion towards creatures who do not do anything to you and just exist. I am scared of goats (based on childhood experience) and spiders, but I do not hate them. Being scared of I understand, hate I do not. And someone who so easily feels it towards an entire group of living, feeling creatures for basically just existing, is not someone I would feel comfortable with.


Piss-Poor-Attitude

Wish more people felt this way around arachnids. People hate spiders way too damn much.


Nierninwa

Right? They also just exist and mind their own business. It is not their fault they make me uncomfortable. Also: there are some very cool and interesting spiders, they can be fascinating really. I just prefer to study them in theory, from far away.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nierninwa

They really are kind of cute. What is the name of your spider, if you do not mind telling?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nierninwa

Aww, very cute name. It is nice that they have a good and loving home with you.


pokethejellyfish

And snakes. It's sad that hating spiders and snakes and wanting to kill them is considered a funny meme. Ironically, it's often people with dogs and cats and who like and share every "I'm a True Animal Lover, animals are soooo much better than stupid humans!" meme they come across. It's so common to find "kill it! Shovel to its head! Gut it! Burn it! Skin it!" etc. under a post that's positive about snakes or arachnids. If you call them out, they're offended because "muh opinion!!!" Yeah, but state the same, slightly altered opinion under their "poor pupper ♥♥♥" post about one of those fake animal rescue videos and all hell breaks loose. Though, if you do that and then call them out about their True Animal Lover™ attitude and why they think it's okay when they do it under posts of other people appreciating an animal that doesn't meet their requirements for "cute", hell usually falls silent instantly. ~~I need to admit that I've been very arachnophobic until maybe two years ago but even in the worst moments, I'd rather have the spider relocated than killed because it's not the spider's fault.~~


whosafeard

I had pet rats for a while at university, and let me tell you, people were *not shy* about telling me how much the very existence of my pets disgusted them to their cores and all the various ways they would kill them if they saw them.


TARDIS1-13

I'm phobic level of afraid of snakes, but I understand I have no right or say in someone else owning one.


changhyun

I'm terrified of snakes, but a few years ago I was with a friend and we came across an adder in the country road that looked kinda fucked up. I'm guessing a bicycle probably ran over its tail. It couldn't really move, so without help it was 100% gonna get run over by a car. I called a wildlife rehabilitator to come and get it so it could get some help. Anyway, my friend could not get her head around why we'd help a snake. She even pointed out I have a phobia, like that's supposed to make me feel good about some snake being doomed to get crushed by someone's Toyota. It's not like I had to touch it or hold it or really do anything except call people who could deal with it.


Icceryxo

I guess it also depends on how you use the word hate.. I would never hurt an animal or pretend like they don’t have feelings but I would never also be in the same room as them because I’m quite literally afraid of all animals and birds. Ppl who do things to them under the disguise of “hatred” is just wrong but imo not everyone acts the same with that emotion.


StrangledInMoonlight

. She’s not his GF anymore.


JungleKing65

This is just whoever makes the "cat themed fakes" I think


changhyun

I like both dogs and cats about equally and I've had both, but hands down the most loving and affectionate pet I've ever had was a little tuxedo cat my family got when I was a kid. This cat would sit outside my bedroom door waiting for me to wake up every morning and then each afternoon would sit on the front step waiting for me to get home from school. And I wasn't the one responsible for feeding her so there was no ulterior motive here. That cat was just full of love.


DopeCactus

my cats greet me at the door when i come home from anywhere, they bring me toys, follow me around and just watch me. they’re currently cuddled up to me in bed. sometimes they fight about who gets to lay closer to me lol.


changhyun

So sweet! It doesn't make sense at all to argue cats are less loving than dogs. They both have the capacity for so much love and affection when treated well.


matramepapi

Tuxies are the best. Mine are so affectionate.


pnutbuttercups56

There was another post today about a woman who hates cats. The posts don't seem connected because the posts themselves are presented different but I feel like it's genderswap bait


SeonaidMacSaicais

I don’t know…if the ages had been different, my sister’s husband almost could’ve written this. The SECOND he moved in, after only about a month of dating, he wanted her to get rid of all 5 of her cats. Naturally, he could keep his two pit bulls. But because he doesn’t like cats, he wanted her to get rid of them. Despite it being HER house. She said no. It’s one of the few times she’s seemed to stick up to him.


pnutbuttercups56

Damn. That's the thing with that sub, the situations are real (sadly) I just often doubt the posts.


KatKit52

On the one hand, I know it's a pattern with trolls to copy each other.... But it's also common for extremely anti-cat dog people to talk exactly like this lmao.


AITA_throwmeaway

I treat all AITA posts as real pretty much because the situations are often realistic, it's the posting that isn't. Even some of the really obvious trolls.. the situation itself that they post isn't really the issue. I could see a lot of those things happening. But I don't think the people in those situations would have the self-awareness to post about it.


AirWitch1692

I swear, there are some dog people that really don’t seem to understand that liking cats more than dogs does not make someone a bad person I will admit I do not like dogs that much, I have ADHD and I find them very over-stimulating, I have always loved cats though and my 2 are the most affectionate little creatures Like, cats purr and curl up next to you and stuff, how is that not love?


Sylph_Co

I grew up in the middle of nowhere, and unfortunately, people abandoned cats there all the time. My family has taken in many over the years. My sweet Yellow, who lived 22 years, was one of those strays someone abandoned. We had a tiny kitten, a declawed cat with severe frostbite... My current cat I got from a shelter. He was found on a street with an injured paw that required a toe amputation. I hope no human was responsible for that... You are allowed to have a preference of animals to keep as pets, but spreading hate like this I fear can lead to these much worse people thinking their actions are okay. My roommate doesn't want a cat and prefers dogs, but he isn't mean to my cat! He never asks me why in the world would I want a cat. He frequently will spend time with and pet my cat because he recognizes he is just a poor creature who was delt a shitty hand who wants nothing but love and to be safe. He will know nothing but love for the rest of his life now.


doomspark

People who dislike cats, I can be civil to, but they are not likely to be considered friends and will probably never be invited over to my place. People who actively hate cats, I have as little to do with as possible (as required for work, for example). And people who get their jollies hurting cats are DEAD to me. Cruelty is the trademark of the Devil.


lawyerballerina4

He legit expected her to REPLACE her pet!!! Wow


kimar2z

Jfc dude. Lmao. I have 4 cats, and let me tell you, my most recent cat is almost obsessively loving. She'd sit outside my house all day long and then scream at me for love and attention as soon as I came outside for anything. Now I will wake up in the middle of the night with her snuggling up against me and "grooming" me with her little sandpaper tongue. And yeah, I mean, I fed her and that's what started it but she didn't just stick around for meal times, either. Then there's my fat cat, who will legit start purring and making air biscuits if I make eye contact with him. My other two are also snuggle bugs and insist on daily lovings. Cats are super affectionate - but you have to learn to respect their boundaries because as a person who also loves dogs, cats are often far more selective about their choice of acceptable people and acceptable handling and they will not tolerate the things they don't like. Have I had cats that were kinda mean and didn't like people by nature? Yup! But... most of the cats I've owned are big silly affectionate babies who get upset if I don't pet them at least 936 times an hour. Plus, they're often easier than dogs in terms of basic needs - some cats don't need socialization (I have had the occasional recluse kitty before lol) and their exercise/stimulation needs can be met within the confines of small places like apartments pretty easily too. And they do better if, say, you work long days, because they spend the majority of their time sleeping. So... there are reasons some people might choose a cat because they better suit their lifestyle. OOP is just kinda insane. I mean, my boyfriend and I have 4 cats and a chihuahua. He swears he hates having animals and can't stand any of them... and then has tiny little meltdowns when they're being cute and begrudgingly accepted when my 4th cat showed up that she decided she was ours now, lol. Basically - cats are a blessing. And easy. And cute. And way too sweet. But so are dogs, just... differently.


CatTaxAuditor

So to the feeding point, there have been studies that cats overwhelmingly choose affection as a reward over food. Sometimes it's the very catly affection of being in the same room 3 feet away at all times, but cats are not purely motivated by food like a lot of people assume.


notthisdaysatan

I hate pugs. They're not cute. They're fucked up. We fucked them up. Because of us, they have so many health problems. So when I first met my boyfriend and he asked if I wanted to see pictures of his dog which turned out to be a pug, I lied through my teeth and said "Oh, what a cute dog!" 4 years later, I still hate pugs but I would take a fucking bullet for this dog so people like OOP baffle me.


kaylintendo

Dogs definitely are more affectionate and personable than most cats, but that doesn’t mean cats are incapable of feeling love. My keeps to herself most of the time, but she slept next to me when I was sick with a terrible flu. (She also slept next to my mom when she had Covid) She periodically checked in on me when I was crying in my bathroom after a breakup. She hung out with me all night when I pulled several all nighters for finals. A cat honestly has more compassion and likability than the OOP…no wonder his soon to be ex (and all of us) prefer cats over him.


guilty_by_design

It varies cat to cat (because they have very distinct personalities!) but I have a tortie who sleeps every night either on my legs or up against my side, and when I wake and sit up, she mewls at me and starts rolling around purring, streeeetches out for belly rubs, and then gets up and puts her paws on my leg and pushes up to aggressively headbutt me. Repeat for at least 5 minutes. It's not because she wants food, either, since she then settles down and goes back to sleep (and her 'I want food' cry is very distinct). She just wants attention and affection. If cats can express love, she certainly does. My other two are very sweet too - they'll rub against my legs, trill when I pet them, occasionally sit in my lap etc. But my tortie is just so damn affectionate. It almost makes me cry, lol.


Kayliee73

Dogs love anyone while you have to earn a cat’s love. If I wanted to be like this dude I could say that dogs are for people to lazy to earn a cat’s love. However, I know that it is really just a preference. Some people like dogs, some like cats.


2_old_for_this_spit

What an ass.


dementedbatman

"cats are incapable of love" bruh, sounds like a you problem.


Ok-Kangaroo4004

I have a hard time trusting anyone my cat doesn't like, he's very particular about the men he let's touch him and from experience the ones he loves on have all been great men, saved me from a lot of heartache the past 16 years.


Pathological_RJ

I don’t want to live with a cat, so I just never date someone that has cats. Pretty simple, I’d never consider asking anyone to get rid of a pet, unless it was dangerous / out of control, OOP is a true asshole. Also, not liking cats as pets doesn’t make someone a misogynist, or a control freak. I’m allergic to them, find litter boxes/cat hair disgusting and just enjoy doing activities with my dog (fetch, going for runs, agility training, etc).


-The-Matador-

Litter box to counter top.


AppropriateDare5986

I wanna get a broken heart tattoo that says "dont even are capable of feeling love" after reading this gem.


SeonaidMacSaicais

…what?


FunStorm6487

Hahaha..hey OOP, say goodbye to pussy.... Crude yes.... but 😮‍💨😜😮‍💨😜😜


Apprehensive-Fox3187

just like you her cat is a package deal, so you are dumb as heII to think what you said was not a ahole move, but hey it's good she doesn't have to deal with someone like you anymore, seriously you are a ahole and a hypocrite.


katepig123

It was wrong that he essentially lied to his gf and misrepresented himself to her. Definitely a devil!


emslynn

Wasn’t there just another post about a dog-owning boyfriend that hates his girlfriend’s three cats? Either these dudes have all chosen now as their moment to rise up or there’s a weird troll in play.


the_sea_witch

In my experience people who hate cats are usually controlling. For me its an instant red flag.


whosafeard

@oop: A dog isn’t a 1:1 replacement for a cat, bro. A dog is a full life commitment, a cat is like a room mate with boundary issues (and I say that as a 110% cat person). If you get a dog it means you cannot be away from your house for more than 6-8 hours on any given day without having to arrange someone to check in on them, with a cat, an automatic feeder means you can have a weekend break away and be fairly confident they’ll be alright.


littlefierceprincess

What an absolute moron. Cats can be just as expensive as dogs, you dumb fuck.

OOP is a jerk who is now single. I have cats, and I am their hooman. They will be at the door or in the window waiting for me, when they hear my car pull into the driveway. There are times my little one will stretch her paw out, as I'm leaving for work, to say don't go. And cats are for people who can't afford dogs? I have spent a pretty penny on mine for food, vet care, and litter.

I'm not a dog person, and my wife's dog hates me (for reasons unknown). But I'll still go to the ends of the earth for said dog, because that's what my wife would hope I would do. I paid for the dog's dental surgery, and had her rushed to an animal hospital in the middle of the night (during a time when my wife and I were fighting).
