minus-squareAeao@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoValid argument but I stand by what I said. Just for the record I don’t “hate” cats. Have a cat if you want. I’ll even pet and play with your cat. Just don’t come at me like there’s something wrong with me because I don’t want my own pet cat.
minus-squareLemminary@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoDon’t get me wrong, the image is totally unfair. I’m only objecting to the “it sounds a lot like dating someone because you plan to ‘fix them’” because cats are usually misunderstood. They have their own body language, which is very different and sometimes opposite to that of dogs. So saying “I don’t like cats because they remind me of shitty people I’ve dated” reads to me like you probably don’t understand how they’re communicating with you, and you’re accidentally crossing some boundaries.
