Why Do Some People Dislike Cats?

They either don’t understand them or they are allergic. For example, I grew up with only dogs and didn’t really know what to do with them until my sister brought one home after graduating college. Now I want a cat for my next pet. They are so chill and very low maintenance.

They seem standoffish and reserved. Like they're too good enough for you or something.

Because they can suck out our souls while we're sleeping.

Cats are ingrates, unlovely little shits and too much work

A glue trap for a sneaky mouse is all you need

The only thing cats are good for is vermin control and I'm good at that without scooping shit everyday

My Grandpa on my dad's side didn't like cats or dogs. He'd never allow one in his house. He was very stubborn though mostly cause he lived durring the Great Depression and had to work in a coal mine at age 12 to support his family. I myself prefer dogs but I live in a place that doesn't allow pets. Not by choice though. There's very few affordable apartments where I live that allow pets.

I love all animals in general but I kind of get the aversion some people have about cats because I had my own bias..

I'd been primarily ' in the doghouse' until my Mom left me her 2 cats....and I found that they're not exactly what I expected.
Cats are far more affectionate than I expected and far more needy ....but in a different way. They're extremely selective in who they share themselves with and can be bratty if they don't get their way (beware of restricting them from a particularly area, for instance. They don't care).

Probably the most disorienting thing about them is their lack of expression. Dogs openly display happiness or sadness but cats are a regular poker face. You can't read them.
That leads some people to believe they don't have feelings or that they're little sociopaths.

They haters.
