This whole “didn’t want a cat but is secretly a softy” thing needs to die.

Just because it does not accurately describe you does not mean it doesn't accurately describe many people

No but it’s also encouraging people to not care about others limitations.

For example I love cats but I am too disabled to care for one.

Agreed, taking on the responsibility of caring for a pet and giving them the best life you can is a situation that requires a firm yes from all parties. Especially with how expensive everything is these days, pets are not cheap.
