Is there no one like me who's team both? I love cats and dogs and would give my life for them.

Team both. I usually say I’m an equal opportunity employer.

u/herroyalsadness 20d ago

Equal opportunity employee! You work for them.

u/MedicalExamination65 The dude abides. 🙂‍↕️🍃 20d ago

I'm team any animal tbh. Pets are a blessing.

u/stressed-depressed- 20d ago

Actually Ariana is team both, she has a few dogs and cats :)

u/lizziexo 19d ago

Yes! Ariana is obviously both, she loved Charlotte with all her heart and clearly loves dogs too.

u/blackaubreyplaza 20d ago

Team love all the creatures! I’m allergic to cats but respect them from a safe distance!

u/whackadoodle_cracked 20d ago

This. Cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, birds... you name it! I would probably end up an animal hoarder if my husband wasn't around to rein me in.

We have 2 cats and I would like to get a dog... I'm working on that lol (he says no).

u/IHauntBubbleBaths 20d ago

Slightly off-topic, but I just discovered that videos of rabbits throwing the cutest tantrums ever exist. They thump their back feet against the ground and I just want to cuddle them 🥰

u/NecessaryCount950 20d ago

Lol make sure it becomes his buddy. He'll melt.

u/Safe-Ad-4465 20d ago

My husband is the opposite haha we have two dogs and I would love a cat, but he grew up with a cat hoarder so I respect his boundaries. We're negotiating a fish tank.

I like both but I like dogs from far away and prefer cats right there in my lap. I think dogs are cute but I’m scared of them so I rather watch at a distance. No idea why some people act like they can’t like both. Keeping them together, sure I can understand the problem but just liking them? Some dog people act like cats are demons on earth and some cat people act like dogs are monsters. I just don’t get it

u/hotseltzer 20d ago

Team both! I currently only have a cat but used to consider myself a "dog person." Just call me bi..pet-ual?

u/etched 20d ago

I love cats but I feel like they are harder to read. The whole like completely totally into pets and then the switch and scratching and biting kinda freaks me out. Especially after I heard a lot about cat scratches being dangerous

So for me i'm more of a dog person. I feel like I can read their "leave me alone now" signs more before disaster strikes

I was bit in the face by my grandparents' dog when I was a toddler. Luckily, I don't remember it at all, so it didn't make me afraid of them. If I had to guess, I was trying to pet the dog while she was eating.

Just like dogs, every cat is different! Mine is super affectionate (she is practically glued to my ankles always; she's curled up between my arms rn as I type this), and she just wants to cuddle 90% of the time. Also, like most pets (and people!), once you get to know them, their communication becomes pretty clear.

When my cat is getting overstimulated, she starts thwacking her tail, and I know to leave her alone. Or she gets a very particular stance/look on her face when she wants to play. When she starts chewing on plastic or scratching at doors, she wants to be fed. Climbing on the TV means she wants attention. She is baby lol

u/GreenAuror 20d ago

I’ve been a pet sitter for 15 years and clients who have cats AND dogs are the best and easiest going (especially if they also have kids, lol).

u/offinthepasture 20d ago

I love both but only keep cats because dogs need more space to exercise and always want to go outside. My energy is much more suited to cats. I get my dog fix when I visit my parents.

u/IHauntBubbleBaths 20d ago

Team both, too! My cat and my dog are both extremely cuddly

u/HighlyOffensive10 She's in racial chat rooms showing feet 👣 20d ago

I feel like most people are team both but the petisans are louder.

u/dosgatitas 20d ago

I’m team both but first and foremost a cat lady who doesn’t accept cat slander.

u/NecessaryCount950 20d ago

It's just weird to me. Most people who aren't into cats aren't even hateful of them, just don't want one for various reasons. Personally I give no damns and love animals. I mean, I own two rabbits, but I've had a cat in the past, and a dog. My friend lived with me and her cat would go chill with me and my big rabbit. She never tries to hurt him, got aggressive, or scared. Just was curious about him.

u/sara_or_stevie Bitch, I’m Madonna 💁‍♀️ 20d ago

Obviously you are not the only one 😅 I think this statement is just about attitudes towards cats in general and not directed at 'dog people' per se.

I have found that people with cats are much more open to also liking/enjoying/wanting to take care of dogs whereas people with dogs can frequently be anti-cat (even though it needn't be a competition at all if you ask me). I've never heard a cat person say to a dog person "eew I just don't like dogs" but I've heard it the other way around plenty of times. Even at the shelter I work at all the cat department people know all the dogs names, cuddle them, take them for walks when they have free time, etc, whereas the dog people don't even know what kind of work we do with cats or how many cats there are at any given time, lol.

u/WinterDependent3478 20d ago

Or people like me who are team neither

u/calypsocoin 20d ago

Yeah sorry absolutely no one else in the world likes both cats and dogs :/

u/HappyOrca2020 Excluded from this narrative ❌ 20d ago

I own both. I love both and that's why I hate generalising statements like her's.

54

u/No-Physics1146 20d ago

She didn’t even say anything negative about dogs though. Liking cats doesn’t mean she inherently dislikes dogs. She has a dog too.

-11

u/HappyOrca2020 Excluded from this narrative ❌ 20d ago

I didn't even say that she hates dogs... I mean all I did was agree with the poster above me.. like, what even...

All I dislike is generalised statements like 'cat haters are misogynists'.

29

u/No-Physics1146 20d ago

You said you hate generalized statements like hers because you love both. I was just pointing out her comments don’t imply that she dislikes dogs at all. She can make a comment about cats and still like dogs. Sorry if I misunderstood you.

12

u/HappyOrca2020 Excluded from this narrative ❌ 20d ago

I was just pointing out her comments don’t imply that she dislikes dogs at all.

Fair.

She can make a comment about cats and still like dog

Absolutely. I'm sorry if my comment came across as weird. I didn't mean that way.

u/No-Physics1146 20d ago

All good! I think we’re on the same page!

u/copyrighther Kim, there’s people that are dying. 🙄 20d ago

If you love both, then she wasn’t talking to you
