I have a brother who HATES cats with a passion. This is also the brother who was a bully to me when we were kids. Other people who were mean to me often were avid cat haters. I wonder if there is a connection. You know, cats and autistic people are kind of alike.
I use to dislike hate haters with a passion, when I liked cats. I have still a mini library of books on cats, including Desmond Morris, and cat fiction, usually short stories. We shared an amazing birman that knew the whole street, went into every house, slept in everyone's beds, everyone in the street would talk about George. He was truly a king.
I dont hate cats, I just dont want to risk inhaling the eggs of toxoplasmosis.
I love birds now. We have malay doves, tui, kingfisher, gulls, sparrows, blackbirds, starlings, finches, waxeyes, and occasionally parrots, at home in my yard. Cats kill my babies that I love to watch and feed
Cats can now kiss my ass. And all those other unsustainable pet industries that involve poorly regulated meat production, breeding programs with high deformity rates, and the ongoing massive vet bills. Why breed pets that suffer poor health, just cause a hairless freak of a dog or cat looks cool
