[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm very much a dog person.  I love dogs. But lots of people don't because they are loud and dirty and sometimes scary.  It's not a character flaw.

On the other hand, if someone says they hate cats, I don't trust them. People frequently hate cats because they are annoyed that they can't control cats. They don't like that cats are independent and show affection on the cat's schedule.  People who don't like cats are either controlling or super needy or both. [/quote]

Wow, PP. You come across as reasonable and able to see maturely in shades of grey....until you don't. Do you even see that you're just as bad in your way as the other posters, the "don't love dogs = bad person" posters, are in their way?

I love cats though I can't have any at this time. And you're as wrong to judge that people who dislike cats are "bad people" as other PPs are wrong to judge people who dislike dogs as "bad people." How can you be so contradictory as to say you understand why people might not love dogs like you do, then turn around and make the same biased, arrogant assumption about non-cat people as others make about non-dog people? Can you see the hypocrisy in your two positions?

Please consider that not all those who dislike, or simply shy away from, cats are "controlling or super needy or both." Unless you actually know those people in every context, you're making huge assumptions about strangers. Don't make us cat lovers out to be as rigid and downright silly as some of these "my dog is god" posters. [/quote]
