I have always wondered why people think that it is alright to say that they hate cats. The general response would be "Yeah, I get it. Cats are assholes." If you say you hate a dog, then the whole world is against you. "How dare you hate a dog? What sort of sub-human are you?" To cat-haters: what in the world did a cat ever do to you? So, yes, I'd run far, far away from someone who would harm a cat, or any animal, really.

Harming animals just to harm them is a sign of psychopathic behaviour, as far as I know.

I've found that people that hate cats are often covering their insecurities by projecting dominance, and reject anyone and any animal that doesn't love and obey them blindly.

I don't get the cats are all arseholes and dogs are all angels thing at all either. Like say a cat is sitting on a fence and some dogs are standing under it barking furiously at it. Apparently this means the cat is an arsehole . . . ? To me I've always seen a cat that knows it's safe where it is and is interested and trying to work out what the dogs are all about. Cats are curious, well known for it. And the dogs are yelling at the cat because, I guess, they want it off the fence and out the garden. That's what I see. But so many people will confidently state that the cat has got on the fence for the overt purpose of winding up the poor dogs, and the poor dogs can't help themselves, they have been provoked and it's perfectly understandable. If I said, actually the dogs might want to chase and kill the cat (and yes, dogs do do this) I think I would get flayed alive. (we do have a dog) BTW, I agree with the OP, there is definitely a misogyny bound up with a feelings towards cats.

Exactly. Sometimes I say I hate dogs, an exaggeration, sure, but everyone comes running up the mill to tell me I'm a psychopath and a freak. I think dogs are loving animals, sweet animals. I like the concept of dogs, but in real life they tend to scare me and gross me out when they lick my face or jump on me. I think big dogs scare me more than small dogs do. Overall, I do prefer cats, but dogs make wonderful pets. I would never harm an animal, ever. I love animals ❤️🐕

When I was 8, I lived in Base Housing in Massachusetts. A girl from school thought she knew me and I was very young, so I followed her and she led me several blocks from my house and then abandoned me. In my wandering to find my way home (no cell phones then), I came across a hugh german shepherd dog who attacked me and took a chunk out of my dress, slip, underwear, and butt cheek. So yes, I'm not at all fond of dogs, large ones in particular. A house can can claw the heck outta you but rarely take chunks of flesh. Turns out an airman at the police dog training center was selling the reject dogswhich by law are to be destroyed for just this reason. So yes, I will say I hate dogs... but I have known dogs that are quite docile and sweet but I still avoid them.

I used to pet sit my neighbor’s cats and one would swipe at me anytime I got near. Half the time he was resting on the chair that I HAD TO walk past to get to the kitchen in order to feed them and he would swipe EVERY TIME! The husband was the only person that could handle that beast (it was also a Maine c**n so he was HUGE). Still love cats but I could understand someone being afraid after facing one like that!

There's something deeply, creepily Freudian about guys who hate cats. I'm not saying, "Oh, not a cat person." I'm saying, HATES cats. I had a boyfriend who taught me this lesson. I was bottle raising an orphan kitten and he'd "joke" about torturing her. I told him to stop. He did the whole, "What's the matter, it's a joke, don't you like jokes?" "Yeah, I'm dating you, aren't I?" Note: His "jokes" were sadistic. I set a boundary, and he refused to respect it. I made a joke about him. He didn't like it. I gave him one last chance, by re-asserting my boundary, and he refused to respect it and me, so I dumped him. And before the trolls start whining, it's like, All he had to do is not be a screaming A$$HOLE. All he had to do was go, shrug, 'sure, whatever.' But this was not the only boundary he didn't respect, either. The kitty was with me 10 years, before she made my mom fall in love with her and Mom refused to give her back.

When I mention to people that i"m super allergic to cats (though I desperately want one), it's always 'Yeah, cat allergies are the worst!' Tell them I'm also super allergic to dogs, they treat me like I've just gravely insulted 3 generations of their family. I'm not even talking about the people who then proceed to explain my allergy to me or state their dog is 'hypoallergenic.' That sound you hear is the grinding of my molars against each other.

6points

Ren Karlej 4 years ago

Got to be honest, and no disrespect, but what does 'super allergic' mean in this context? Genuine query and not a criticism. My sister is allergic and gets a bad reaction - blocked nose, streaming itchy sore eyes but not a dangerous reaction. She won't go into anaphylaxis because of her allergy to dogs and medication helps her - as does washing my dogs before she visits me as it removes a great deal of dander. Also, completely agree that no dog is genuinely hypoallergenic. Some breeds have coats that shed less and there is less dander in the air so the allergy can be minimised. It's why labradoodles exist. So blind people with dog allergies could have guide dogs. It removed it for some and made it manageable for others. Sorry, hope you don't mind my wanting to understand how it is for you. The more people know the better they can understand and hopefully improve things for those who have legitimate problems.

People should have better control of their dogs so that they don't charge up to people as it can be intimidating - I also have a dog that is scared of other dogs and so it annoys me greatly when they just barge up and scare him. I would highly recommend getting help with any fear - my brother's friend had a child who was scared of dogs and they got her some therapy to deal with it and now they have a pet dog and she doesn't get scared in parks anymore. It's made life much easier for her in many ways. Dogs are so common place that to have to deal with a fear of them so frequently must be quite impactful on daily life. Unless I just live in a place with a higher percentage of dogs than elsewhere! 🤔 You don't sound at all like an animal hater though and good for you for looking after the birds.

I've survived an actual pit bull attack (thankfully, it was juvenile, and I can climb), and don't hold it against the dog so much as its (bleeping) owner. My mother was attacked by a dog as a child and has a phobia to this day, but still rescued abandoned puppies.... She doesn't like dogs, but she won't let one hurt, either. I kinda take that as an example of how to behave.

While this is true, keep in mind that 99% of the people who say they hate cats don't mean that they would hurt one in cold blood. I don't know what the thing with hating cats is, but a lot of people just say they do when they really mean they dislike cats, or prefer dogs. To prove a point? I don't know, but it usually isn't "I literally want to stab every cat I see?.

Yeah they probably mean 'dislike' instead of hate and sure most people would never harm them but t's still weird and strangely socially acceptable for people to go around saying cats suck and they hate them, and that's not ok to me. Preference is fine but most of the hate is downright ignorance. And like, you wouldn't find people proudly boasting and ranting about how shitty parrots are all the time (I love parrots, this is just an expample) but somehow it's 'ok' for people to rag on cats. It's not ok. I think it's weird cars are so vilified... and these people lack empathy and half the time have never even had a cat. I like both cats and dogs a lot, but cats are way more sweet and loving than people think.

All out hating animals is a huge red flag. But life taught me that claims that "my cat can detect ill intent" are often red flags, too. I love pets. For the shy and anxious ones, I feel more comfortable having me here, them there until they get used to me (if they ever do), but it always melt my heart whenever I interact with social cats (I don't know why but ALL my cats, with no exception across the last 4 decades have always been, like, SUPER social and cudly, always on my lap, never scratching me and often asking to be petted). But I'm yet to meet an owner of an anxious/anti-social cat who doesn't try to shove the poor fella upon me, to the extreme discomfort of both me and the cat. Cue me feeling crazy anxious, the cat scurring away and the person thinking that means the cat has "magically detected" something. So, while I'll always love cats, with every passing day I find myself less and less inclined to interact with the "my cat has super powers" subsection of cat people.

I dislike cats, but I don't hate them or wish them harm. I prefer to have dogs, because dogs respect boundaries (if you teach them). Honestly, what I really dislike is people who have cats and let them wander around outside. If you love your pet, you don't do put them in a situation where they can be eaten alive by larger wildlife. I'm pretty tired of having to clean up the corpses in my rural yard.

Some people believe that cats should be free to roam as that is more fitting with the nature of the creature. I feel torn - cats love to prowl and roam, but cats are definitely safer inside. They do cause problems by having a significant impact on bird species. Their mess in other people's gardens is not nice - dog owners should pick theirs up (curses on those who don't) cat owners can't and people who think cats always bury it are a wee bit deluded. I've seen them in action not burying mess in my local woods. I've also stepped in it (yes, I can tell the difference between fox, cat, dog etc and have stepped in most over the years on walks). The problem is largely the number of cats, not cats per se and also the world we ask them to live in which is full of cars and dangers. Cats can also be trained but I think people make less effort because they see it as less necessary. I have come home to a several torn up birds in my garden so can sympathise.

Ah, but you say you don't like them. It's hate that is odd. Though disliking ALL animals puts me off. We share the planet. Why do some humans think only humans matter? My personal experience of those types has been that they are generally fairly self centred (MY experience) and don't see the world beyond their own homes, family and self interests. I haven't found cats smell, their litter trays do and that's down to people keeping things clean, not the cat. If dogs smell that's down to the human too - groom them, wash them. These things usually boil down to some human stuffing up to be honest.

The cat (Felis catus) is a domestic species of small carnivorous mammal. It is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae. There are many cats that suffer from health problems due to over breeding by people and, as such, 'ruined'. Over breeding for 'cute' has happened in just the same way as dogs. Some breeds are ok, some aren't. Same as dogs. The natures of the animals are quite different. Dogs and humans developed a mutually advantageous relationship that enabled both to survive better. Cats also help by hunting rodents and giving companionship.

Well, people simply see cats as selfish because cats don't operate on the same emotions and expressions as dogs do. Dog people might dislike cats because they have different expressions for joy and love. Cats are also caring for their owners, it's just that they have primal instincts that make them act a little more wild.

Have you ever been in love? Your best friend, your family friend, your parent? If so, you’d know very well how love changes people. Thankfully, the transformation is usually for the better, but sometimes, we fall head over heels so deeply that we lose the ability to detect doubts and other negative reactions we have with our love interests.

Elite Daily interviewed some experts. Here’s what they had to say about blind love and its impact on the people in the relationship.

In fact, very few of us are immune to this phenomenon, says nationally recognized psychotherapist Dr. LeslieBeth Wish, who considers blind love to be something that doesn’t have to do with appearances. It usually hits during the honeymoon phase, when we still haven’t had enough time to experience the negative side of our loved ones.

According to relationship expert Susan Winter, who also spoke to Elite Daily, the honeymoon phase brings all the best parts of our significant others to the spotlight. “We haven’t experienced the many times they’ll disappoint, let us down, and hurt us. These are the things that occur later in a relationship. Without knowing the totality of our partner, we are forced to see them in a state of love blindness.”

Took my date to a great restaurant where one of my best friends was our waiter. I introduced them to each other. On the ride home my date said to me " I cannot believe you would introduce me to a waiter... and what is it with you wearing a trench coat to a luxe restaurant.. don't you have anything nicer?" LAST DATE.

After the honeymoon phase ends, many lovebirds start to see and experience the not-so-pretty side of their relationship. This is why recognizing your initial doubts at the beginning of a relationship is crucial. Cherlyn Chong, a dating and breakup recovery coach, suggests seeking a person who can meet one’s needs “regardless of surface or social standing.”

“They need to not completely judge people right off the bat, but they should also prioritize those compatibility traits.” Thus, often, that very first hint of a negative reaction you have may be the most telling one. Basically, don’t ignore the red flags!

kianamoods tweets about apologize as red flag in relationship

Final score:

David Retsler 4 years ago

A basic apology demonstrates remorse for something you did or didn't do. You start by saying "I'm sorry." Then you identify what it was that you did or didn't do to offend, you show you understand it hurt or offended the other person and how it hurt or offended them, and you tell them what you will do to avoid repeating it in the future. For example: "Hey, John- I'm sorry I told Mike you were getting divorced. You told me that in confidence and I know I betrayed your trust by sharing it with him. I value your trust, John, and promise you that if you ever confide in me again, my lips will be sealed." Notice I didn't offer an excuse like "I did it just that one time" or " I didn't know it wasn't public info." OWN IT when you apologize. Explaining yourself can come later if THEY request it. Otherwise, you're just throwing out excuses and not owning it.

Remi Flynne 4 years ago (edited)

Ex friend kept doing this to me. I would start a conversation that she would wave away with with the comment 'oh, you and your x idea' as though it was weird when it was usually just something I'd seen in the news and wanted to share thinking she'd be interested. She'd roll her eyes and pull faces if she didn't understand or agree. She would demean compliments I got from people to make them appear worthless. I realised her low self esteem got a boost from belittling me. People who only feel better when they try to diminish you are not genuine friends. Real friends would want to listen and support you. Even if you miss the fun times (I do) it's truly not worth the other times when you go home upset and thinking 'what on earth was that for?'.

People who won't apologise. Accept it if you have stuffed up. There is no weakness in recognising that and saying sorry to those you have hurt. It is weak to try and hide it, cowardly to try and pretend you did nothing wrong.

My sister would believe 100% every critical story about every new boyfriend's exes. Boyfriend after boyfriend - they all had evil exes. Then, shock, discover that her boyfriends were actually the people with the problem. Not saying that applies in all cases but be wary if it's a trend in the partners you pick.
