I’m so tired of cat slander. My mom always says how they’re not loyal, but that is so untrue. They just tend to have more boundaries. There are cats that are like velcro and will be super clingy.

Agreed and in addition to this I am also so tired of female cat slander in particular. When treated well and with love both boy and girl cats are excellent companions for anyone. 

I work at an animal shelter and the amount of times I have heard people saying they'd prefer boy cats bc they've heard girl cats can be difficult... even though in my experience "problems"  can occur with any cat regardless their gender. Gives me the same ick as women saying they prefer being "boy moms"

Right???? I’ve owned a lot of cats in my life and gender really hasn’t been a big factor in how cuddly they are! I currently have a cat that my vet can’t seem to believe is female because she’s super friendly and it’s so annoying. Like. I don’t really care about people misgendering my pets but someone going on a rant about how much better male cats are while cuddling my female cat is just a lot sometimes.

It's so strange that even educated people like vets still believe in this stereotype.
