It's a double-edged sword though. The cats now love you and want to sit on your knee all of the time but also like to secure themselves with their unnecessary razor claws.

Only a cat would say such a thing about a person.

The thing about cats is that their concept of boundaries and interaction are wildly different from people and dogs. Cats seem like they know exactly who is allergic to them and seem to be laser guided right to them because a lot of the things you'd do if you're allergic to them come off as being respectful of their boundaries. What seems like disinterest to us seems like an open invitation to them.

Excuse me, I think you mean their boundaries. One does not own their own boundaries in the presence of cats.

Yeah you can do the same thing with dogs. It's not a logical position, it's an emotional one.

Dogs are clingy in always want to lick you, gross. At least if cats lick you it's nice and dry.

Exactly. You earn their trust and it feels so rewarding.

yeah

and even if a cat doesnt love me it's not like they have to. im not entitled to them, still lobe them anyway cause theyre cute and awesome

I agree with you but in the exact opposite way you’ve described. People who pretend that everyone who dislikes cats are unpleasant are the ones outing themselves here. You sound like children.

You have never met an asshole cat?

Listen, I've had some great cats. One in particular was so chill and cuddly when he got diabetes and I had to give him insulin injections twice a day, he would jump up and then snuggle and purr after. Greatest cat ever. That cat had his own cat who was super skiddish with people. If you looked up scardy cat you wouldn't see a picture of this cat because he would run and hide if you pointed your attention in their direction, let alone a camera. They had radically different personalities. There are also asshole cats. Frankly a lot of them (kinda like people).

I think some people have interacted mostly with the assholes and choose not to continue, it's at least a bit understandable.

As much as I love cats (literally in my username), there are certain valid reasons, at least for outdoor cats. In most countries they are not a native species and are thus predators the ecosystem isn't built for. If you keep them inside, though, it's all good!

I'll give a pass to those allergic to them. They have a physical reason to dislike cats.

Fully Agreed, honestly

That is a completely valid reason. There's always the ballsack cats if you want to experience one.
