Why do [some] fellas hate cats??

People only like dogs because you can treat them like **** and they'll still love you

Oddly enough, that seems to be the argument many on the dogs-only side are making here.

There's something curiously insecure about a person who has to justify liking a particular type of pet by saying how much more independent it is and how they totally don't need it around to offer company. Because they're independent too, in case you didn't know.

I don't dislike cats but I do dislike the (insufferably obnoxious) majority of cat owners.

OP - why exclude women from your list? Because some do like pussy you know and some don't.

A dog will instantly let you know it's happy to see you when you come home. Cats, on the other hand, couldn't give a crap whether you're there or not and will show contempt rather than affection. Evil bastids they are, and I'll siteban anyone who disagrees with me. :cool:

Can we read this as "If I have a pet I want it on my driveway/doorstep with its tongue hanging out in anticipation of my arrival"?.....

If yes, then...

A dog is the pet for you, a cat wouldn't have the time of day for that kind of mindset.

Huh? Maybe they just like how cats are lower maintenance and it's easier when they're out of the house all day?

If all the people against cats were handed a kitten tomorrow to keep for 6 months, they would blatantly see the difference in a cat and a dog, and change their posts.

I have had a maltese and a westie and IME a dog will pee and sh*t wherever and whenever it feels like it despite it being trained.

I love dogs too but they do stink and leave a stink on chairs, sofa, bed etc, ugh; I detest dog dirt and owners who allow their dogs to go on a public area with no bag or scoop to lift it.

Dog hair stinks no matter how clean it's kept. Cats never smell, they are meticulous about grooming....a sight dog owners will never witness.

For a house pet, cats are the winners. I have family with dogs, clean, treated like babies but their house stinks of dog (these people are pinickity about hygiene too), they have no idea cos they're so used to it.
Pick up a house cat and smell it. (if it will let you)

I dare a now cat hater to take on a kitten.

Ah, the deeply mentally-challenged post that, while making a huge generalisation, is really masking a deep bitterness and anger-wrapped-up-in-cod-philosophy. And all ended with 'peace out mofo' and mutliple 'x's and exclamation marks. It's enough to make you weep for the internet.

No I think he likes cats. I agree though, "This thread is retarded" and then no elaboration is a wee bit teenaged.

OK, one thing I do NOT like about my cat, though it is kinda sweet.

When he starts licking my hand carefully, "grooming" me, looking up at me lovingly. I don't like having kitty germs all over my hands.

I dislike dogs who lick too.

Bleurgh!

Cats' mouths and tongues are actually the cleanest part of the animal (that's probably not true).

I used to love the feeling of cat's tongue when they'd lick my hands. Weird and slightly disturbing, which is how I like my animals.

Cats are funny.

Most people I know who hate them pretend to be allergic to them to hide the fact that they have a halflings soul.

I love it when cats come around. I got my last one with a .22, and a 12 gauge before that. Most people I know wish cats would either be kept in by their owners, or just wouldnt come around their yard. I'm the opposite, I love it when cats come round the place:D

wellboytoo

My last orange cat did not like me much, it was mutual, I drove over him in a 4x4....., pick your enemies wisely .

^You evil man!

Why is cruelty towards cats somehow acceptible while if I say "I love kicking dogs in the face when they run up to hump your leg", everyone will go into a fit of rage...

How can you say no to that !!!

Because it's "cool" and makes you look like "tha maaaaaan" on the internet. It's no doubt lies also.

I love the whole "cats are clean" thing. I've never gone into a house with a cat and not known instantly from the smell. Sometimes I can tell if there's a dog, but not always.

it depends on the cat.

houses with males cats are noticebly smelly unless you get them spayed cos unspayed cats mark their territory alot.

Dudess

Never ever have I gotten a cat smell in a house, unless the cat is allowed piss/spray indoors. But a cat scent just hanging around the animal at all times - never known of it, unlike manky, oily dog stink.

A total myth that it's only guys who hate cats, i know just as many women who despise them. It's not hard to see why. They are very conniving creatures who love to manipulate their owners. They will constantly look for love and affection but give very little of it back in return, the opposite of dogs. They will mostly come near only when they want food. They are very selfish and obnoxious creatures. They don't have anywhere near as much love to give as their canine counter-parts. All they are good for is catching rats and mice.

This is pure nonsense

I got my first cat at the age of 12, she was feral and never quite came round completely, every so often though she will hop up on your lap for cuddles and those are great days, she is 9 now.

My second cat will be 2 in September, I found her at the side of the road when she was four weeks, I hand reared her and took her everywhere with me for three weeks, she is like a child, she will come up the stairs in the morning and jump on the bed and will either play with your feet or lick your nose to wake you up, if you call her she will come running and all you have to do is look at her to get the happiest, loudest purrs you ever heard. She has two luxiating patellas (knee cap slipping in and out of place) and so will need ops at some point, they are not cheap either, people think I am mad for paying such money for a cat but it's a small price to pay cause she is just awesome.

I also have a dog who I absolutely love to bits, he is just fab. wouldn't give him up for the world, he is loyal, hilarious, challenging and outrageously clever although you would never think it as he looks and acts like a dope, he is a Boxer, oh and he can give Hi fives and never misses!

Anyway I don't consider myself a dog person or a cat person I consider myself both, anyone who hates cats is seriously missing out though.

That's my logical conclusion from my experience of living in houses with both cats and dogs. So if it is nonsense i must have invented or dreamt it up.

If you find cats only come near for food it means you generally don't treat them very well and they are smart enough to stay away from you, you can treat a dog quite badly and it'll still love you

Well either you haven't made the effort to gain their affection or they just don't like you for some reason.

my cats were treated very well i'll have you know. They slept with me many nights. But they didn't like cuddles and were only interested when i had food or something to their advantage. I had 3 or 4 different sets between my parents house and living in my own accomodation. I found nearly all of them cold and manipulating. Anyone who thinks a cat is a better companion than a dog is evidently wrong.

I know they're difficult but if you keep trying they're very rewarding pets once you gain their trust, I've had cats in the past who showed no interest. Its hard work with them but they do become very friendly and loyal once you get over that difficult stage.
