I've always wondered about this, but the rash of negative postings over
the last day or two (the Clay Aiken quote, the Portland trapper, et cetera) has prodded me into posting. Why is it, or what is it about them, that elicits such strongly negative reactions from those that don't like cats? I've always thought that people who hate cats have "control" issues. They can't control cats like they do dogs so they loathe them. Personally, I love the fact that cats are so independent and that they have their own mind. My sister used to have a boyfriend who once threatened to "kick" my cats if they went near him. I was astounded that he would make such a threat in my mother's house (I was living with her for a few months). If he was in MY house I would have asked him to leave immediately and never come back. Thank goodness the relationship didn't last. I don't trust people who profess to "hate" cats. I would never become involved romantically with someone who didn't like cats. Cats are a part of my life, and to be with me means to be with my cats too. Flippy in Melbourne, Australia. My Cats: http://www.flippyscatpage.com |

Perhaps because cats were associated with witches (evil) during the
middle ages according to the Catholic Church? Just an idea. |

I also tend to trust those that love cats, because it tells me about the individual that he/she knows how to let go and let live. That does not include though those who like to "possess" cats like objects.. and they are many. Elaine |

As for why someone would want to harm a cat just because they don't like it - that's just psychopathic, IMO. -L. |
