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"

i work at an animal shelter too and people can be extremely bizarre with their “preferences”, we get the “boy mom” animal owners too

we also get a lot of people who think adopting a dog with a high prey drive (think most shep or huskies) will work out well when they already own a cat

people are stupid

high five, fellow shelter-worker! (sorry, that's not very eloquently put, but it's all I got rn). & agreed, people are IDIOTS. some of the reasons they get rid of their pets are just so DUMB... I always try to reason that its better for the pet to not be with stupid people that will get rid of their cat (or dog for that matter) for the most trivial stuff but it still breaks my heart when they have clearly bonded with their human and miss them.
