...beautiful companions? I can't understand why all the nasty rude people post such horrible things about cats. They are the sweetest and most loving companions and very intelligent. Why do all the sickos like to say nasty evil things about cats being dead and eating them?

[Megs_a_whore]

people hate cats because they are always licking the butter

[zwibberpiff]

Because they are jealous that they aren't so sweet and intelligent and cuddly I love my cats!

I agree with you. Completely.I cannot answer your question but I hope you will let me ask it with you.(People who hate cats just do not know what they're missing)

a. people suck. they say awful things to get attention. b. i like some cats a lot. c. the downsides are: their litterboxes are gross. and even if it's clean, the little still gets stuck to their paws and spread. they shed. they are loners by nature - even the friendliest cat can't hold a candle to a friendly dog. a lot of people are alergic to them. they get hairballs. they aren't easily trained to do much. they can wreck furniture. etc. etc. they work well for some people. but not others. whatever floats your boat.

People who haven't had a cat themselves often subconsciously believe the nonsense that they will scratch people, or that they're aloof and don't care if anyone is with them and other old wives tales about them.My Mom always hated cats and it turns out she was severely scratched as a child all up and down her legs HOWEVER it was her fault and she didn't realize it. She was holding her little dog and was close to a mother cat trying to protect her kittens. Of course she got scratched! Duh! But she didn't know anything about cat behavior and was worried about her dog getting attacked. When I got a cat she began to get to know more about cats and now she likes them but it took her 50 years to realize it.It doesn't help that there always seem to be strays everywhere you look because irresponsible cat owner didn't get their cats spayed and neutered an/or abandoned them. You can't blame the cats for that!

i like all animals, but my mom loves cats....thats not really the question but, she likes cats b/c they dont need alot of attention, you dont have to take them on walks or pay a lot of attention to them.....but dogs....you have to walk them, feed them, make sure they dont tear up you furniture, so maybe ppl who have a lot of energy hate cats b/c they just dit there, and lazy ppl love cats b/c they dont have to do alot to take care of them...PLUS...there's allergies

I love cats too so never could understand hating them. The comments I have received are that they are sneaky, cold, and independent. Perhaps their independence is threatening to those who want to be idolized the way a dog idolizes his owner. Even the most evil killer is loved by his faithful dog.

cats are ungrateful and they smell so bad. you can spend a fortune on them whatever prime cuts in gravy or some fancy cat food but they only come to you for food and nothing else. cats just go to anyone who feeds them. and i hate how cats kill for fun. they catch a bird and play with it until its dead n just leave. cats should be culled to control their number to a real minimal. and dont compare dogs to cats, a cat can never be as good as a dog in all qualities. and cat lovers can defend their smelly unloyal kitties for all i care but the truth is just like that. all opinions good or bad have a chance to be voiced out, yeah?

Well I love animals (especially cats) but I have a friend who HATES them, she hates them so much she has developed a psychosomatic allergy to them. She loves dogs though and I've found the reason to be because cats can be more independent where as a dog really needs you. Dogs need to be walked, they can require more attention and I think that's what she needs. One of my family members doesn't tend to like animals in general and in her case it's fear based. There are lots of reasons why people don't like cats. Personally I love them, they're so full of curiosity and spunk but I love dogs and other animals too. I think it just depends on the person and their own personal likes, dislikes and even fears. For those litterbox people.. yeah you can walk a dog and have it go outside your house where as a cat you've gotta deal with litterbox duty but I think it's worth it. Plus I've found I don't have to bathe my cats as much as dogs or ferrets. With a lot of people hate of anything (cats included) is based in fear and ignorance. Cats are cats and they aren't evil, they can be full of mischief but that's one of the things that can also be lovable about them. There's can be a lot of anti-cat hysteria in superstition too. Such as cats can "steal" your breath while you sleep or a black cat will cause you bad luck, etc. I've only ever gotten a lot of love and good luck with cats, I have met some grumpy ones before but cats, like people, all have their own personalities and moods. For those who hate them... well you can choose to stay away from them, you don't have to threaten or speak ill of them. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
