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!
Btw, have you seen what cat claws can do to furniture?
That’s why you get a cat tree or something. They need to scratch their nails on stuff.
Ah yes. Some cats will prefer furniture, regardless. It’s like they have their own minds or preferences.
I love cats. I like dogs well enough, if they come with responsible and conscientious care-givers. I don’t want another, I prefer the freedom of coming and going as I please, without the cost and time obligations. I don’t want to have to choose between crating, to protect against accidents and misbehavior, should I be delayed, for unavoidable incidences, which punishes the dog and leads to further disregulation and misbehavior. Let a neighbor feed the cats or have a gravity feeder and water station, and they’re good on their own for a day or two.
I’ve been looking after a neighbor’s cats, while they were out of town. Good on them to ask me, since there was a medical emergency that delayed their return, by several days.
