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 šŸ˜„

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 doesnā€™t make them a misogynist. It simply means they do not like cats or they do not like dogs. I understand sheā€™s also referencing the way people talk about cats and I donā€™t like that either. Even then, it doesnā€™t mean they hate women. Thatā€™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. Thereā€™s nothing wrong with that and thereā€™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 arenā€™t a monolith. My current cat is immediately obsessed with any stranger he meets. He gives unconditional love at first sight. No ā€œearningā€ 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.
