Being a dog person does NOT make it any more socially acceptable to vocally dislike cats compared to being a cat person who'd vocally dislike dogs.

Yet many people still think it's totally ok to call cats assholes and whatnot, but they take great offense if you say even the slightest negative opinion about dogs.

Of course not everyone is like that.
I, for one, don't hate any animals, yet I'm a cat person by heart, through and through.

Cats and dogs are equal.

#cats #dogs

I actually had this one friend who once just bluntly said that he hates cats.
Hates. Let that sink in. He didn't say that he's not a fan of them or anything milder.

That phrase really irritated me and my my mother also thought that it's a very cold thing to say, especially since my friend fully knew my mom's a cat person and she's had multiple cats.

And when it comes to dating profiles on apps like Tinder, I've seen lots of mentions about hating cats.

Like how the fuck do they get a pass with that?

Imagine if someone wrote "I hate dogs" on their profile? They'd get hanged or something lol

It sickens me...

@Chertograd I don't think they're comparable. They fill two different shaped voids in our hearts.

I'm not really a cat Owlbear or a dog Owlbear. I love 'em both for different reasons.
