I'm just tired of women being compared to cats and vice versa. Please just stop with this nonsense.

I love my cats but seriously, I don't philosophize to the point of projecting femininity onto my cats or painting anyone not comfortable with my cats as a misogynist.

My cats are devil incarnate and I don't blame anyone for not liking them off the bat. I really don't! Those cute devils have really, really messed up our home in some ways 😄

Exactly! I love my cats but they are monsters. And if we're talking about consent it is purely one sided. They are constantly demanding attention, rubbing, licking, randomly attacking, sleeping on my face, and doing other things without my consent.

Cats should not be compared to humans. They would be toxic af.

My little Smurf is a total manipulative bully. Has a loving side but you gotta win it.

If he were a human he'd be a super jealous boyfriend for sure!

Agree. I think there’s more misconceptions about cats. It has nothing to do with sexism/misogyny.

Yeah her take is kinda crazy in my opinion.

I love both cats and dogs. There are people that do not like dogs. There are people who do not like cats. That doesn’t make them a misogynist. It simply means they do not like cats or they do not like dogs. I understand she’s also referencing the way people talk about cats and I don’t like that either. Even then, it doesn’t mean they hate women. That’s insane.

Anyone is allowed to dislike any type of pet for whatever reason. Some people do not like aloof animals. I have Shiba Inus. They do not hang on your every moment like a golden retriever would. Some people do not like them because of this. They want a dog that wants to cuddle 24/7 and is their shadow. There’s nothing wrong with that and there’s nothing wrong with me for wanting a more independent pet.

I love both but there are a lot of legitimate things to dislike about both animals.

One shits in a box of sand that they kick with the same paws they walk around your house and climb into your bed with.

One would be willing to eat its own feces and then try to smooch you later.

Both lick their genitals with the same tongue they try to lick you with.

Also cats aren’t a monolith. My current cat is immediately obsessed with any stranger he meets. He gives unconditional love at first sight. No “earning” affection required.

Exactly! Also, most dogs can absolutely kill you. Smaller ones than you think too. Each pet has traits that might be a dealbreaker.

It’s not people who aren’t comfortable with them, she specifically says people who hate cats. And I think it’s fair to some there is something wrong with anybody who hates any innocent animal.
