Well folks, I found an IRL cat hater!

Genuinely took me off guard when she said that.

She also snarled in disgust when I showed her a picture of one of the sweet heart strays in my neighborhood.

.....Probably coming off as a fake post, but no, I'm being serious!

I like that cats are sleepy and just like chilling around me getting pats

If a dog is sleepy around me I worry that it's bored. Dogs trigger my "oh god are you happy enough?" people pleaser tendencies, which is probably weird

I dont have that tendency but I understand it. I've had enough roommates with dogs that im pretty used to them. I dont want anyone to get the impression I dont like dogs. I just understand why people would find them unappealing from a rational perspective where I dont think an active dislike of cats, which is different from a preference, is weird.

Dogs are fun as hell, but theyre always on. It's too much for me. I became a co parent to any roommate's dog ive ever had, they were always welcome to sleep on my bed etc as long as my kitty didnt make em fuck off, teritory disputes were their business. I will become immediately attached to just about any animal. Critters rule

Oh yeah I also love dogs! Just too much for me to handle long term haha. Same reason I never want kids.

I end up being a dog babysitter for my friends too and I love it but after a couple of days its like "Ok I'm so tired now please give me space little guy"

Same, they rule and I what I love about em is what tires me out. Theyre always in party mode. Darby also beats up other animals so, I got a kick ass kitty and thats all I can have around anyway.
