I have a crazy cat lady as a neighbor who always has at least 6 free-roaming cats at one time. They come into our yard, shit in our garden, and kill birds at our feeders and baths. I have had to witness several poor little goldfinches get killed, and who knows how many when I'm not looking. My yard used to have nesting spotted towhees, and now they are gone ever since the cats have moved in. I try my best to scare the cats away and even spray them when I see them, but it's not enough. And it's a terrible situation for the cats as well. They only live a short while before inevitably being hit by cars, after which my neighbor just replaces them with new, expensive, purebred maine coons. I hate it.

No. 1438065

I have a good amount of female friends and they ALL love cats. I can't discuss any cat hate with them because they'd go ballistic on me, but I really cant stand cats. They are constantly making excuses for cats like 'oh, i can't have my tree up because my cat will knock it over and break stuff.'
Or when they are okay with their cat being on their kitchen counter with their dirty paws. It's like a cult. There has to be some sane people out who see cats as shit heads who go outside and kill wild birds and snakes.

Oh my god this is the worst. I shit on dogs for a lot of things, but at least they don't (usually) do this. I don't understand how so many people think this is okay. I have witnessed my friend's cat go straight from the litter box to on her dining room table or kitchen counter. I wanted to gag.

I refuse to eat at someone's house if they own cats. I am drifting apart from a friend of mine who now owns 5 cats.

There are plenty of normal people who see cats as the animals they are and don’t want them on the table or being destructive. It’s crazy when I go to peoples homes and I can tell they go a while without cleaning litter boxes when you should be cleaning it daily, only takes 2 minutes. My roommates rescued a cat and it would hunt in the backyard and sometimes bring birds into the house that weren’t dead so I’d walk out and there’s a bird flying around the living room I’m like what the fuck kek told them to invest in one of those jingle bell collars

I hate people who let their cats out. I have a neighbor who moved in less than a year ago and he lets his cat roam during the warmer season. That cat has followed me to my apartment twice already and to my in laws car several times. They opened the back door to leave and it jumped in. I'm very allergic to cats, so handling it is a pain. I've brought the cat back to my neighbor before and even contacted the HOA, but they can't or won't do shit.
I'm not the only neighbor who has complained either.

I have a friend just like that. I love her, but damn, it's so uncomfortable being in her small apartment with several cats. Everything is covered in cat hair. I can't even find a dish in the cupboard that doesn't have cat hair somewhere on it (or even if I do, it will inevitably get hair on it from the ones floating around). She cleans the litterbox daily, but cats poop and pee more than once a day, so more often than not, it smells like cat piss and shit. I don't think cat owners can tell because they are used to it. Like we will be sitting together in her apartment, one of the cats comes and uses the litterbox, and now all I can smell is that, but it doesn't even register for her. And she shows me pics of them way too much. It's like when parents don't understand no one else is as interested in their kids as they are. They are cute but they aren't THAT cute. They look the same as the first time she showed me. I just have to grin and give fake "awww"s and hope the video of her cat doing nothing isn't too long.

NTA but I had a friend I was close to before she moved who found a cat in a dumpster, so she saved it which was nice. she never trained the cat however, so I would come over to have coffee and the cat would attack my feet and try to bite me. Her entire arms and hands were covered in cat bites and scratches and she just accepted it instead of training the cat. Havent seen her in a year, but she good luck to her.

That's awful considering that most of them will die a slow and painful death from their injuries and bacterial infection. Also, bell collars are ineffective. Cats learn to walk silently with them and birds rely more upon visual cues to avoid predation. Cats just can't be allowed to free-roam.

Cats are the world's most invasive species. They kill every small animal they can get and they don't even do it for survival. What gets me is there are so many "environmentally conscious" people who have cats and do not understand how harmful hey are to the environment. Environmental types only care about doing what's performative and convenient for them.

Anyway, a cat hate story:
My grandfather's family had a rabbit farm with cats to control mice and when the cats killed the rabbit livestock his brothers and father went and killed the cats for destroying the farm. Thankfully they did recover, and they used dogs as herd protection after that and never had a problem.

My campus had a supported feral cat colony that was taking over the school. The anthro department was the one doing it, while the bio department wanted them to stop. They would erect these wooden boxes everywhere and would put out huge piles of food that began to attract invasive rodents as well, like house mice, brown and black rats, nonnative squirrels, etc. The feral cats were everywhere and people started treating the school as somewhere where you could abandon unwanted cats. It was disgusting. Then, when COVID happened and all classes went online, coyotes moved onto campus and now all of the cats are gone. The invasive rodents are gone, and I have noticed a return of many ground-dwelling bird species and just way more birds in general. Nature is healing.

No. 1440767

i have a cat and i love her but when she dies i will never get another. i also hate all the outdoor cats! i have a yard now and the amount of cat shit when i moved in was disgusting. i left mothballs all around last summer (idc if it’s bad for the environment the cats are worse) and they finally fucked off for a while. when i get a dog i want to train it to chase cats off my property, ideally not hurt them but just keep them away. they’re just disgusting, even mine, but luckily she just sleeps in the window 90% of the day which is cute. i think that’s the best way to see cats. just laying in peoples windows. i dated a guy who had two gorgeous cats but he kept the open litter box in the bathroom and never cleaned it enough. it was a small apartment bathroom so you were just staring into the mess trying not to puke while you tinkled. if it weren’t for the piss, shit, and bird decimation i wouldn’t feel this way but the smell is sooo bad, humans were not meant to live with these creatures n close range.

No. 1440775

I feel the same way about cats. I loved my family cats minus this one asshole male my family refused to get rid of because he replaced a cat that ran away. Fucker peed on our clothes, shoes, carpet, it was disgusting. They aren't bad animals but I'm glad I dont personally own any and even if they're considered cleaner than dogs I cannot stand their whole litter box even with daily cleaning. It's a pain in the ass to clean right after long work. Cant believe so many people keep the litter box in their laundry rooms or bathrooms. You know what I dont want to walk on after cleaning myself? Shit piss cat litter and hair balls. Wouldnt want it near my clean laundry either. I feel an honest disinterest in cats or dogs no matter how cute I think they are. They stuff up my nose and their fur makes me itchy.

grown up with a single mom who insisted on getting 4+ cats. Was awful. All of our clothes smelled of cat, or had cat hair. I was always on edge when hearing a sound because they broke stuff constantly, and we could never have friends over. Living alone with no animals is such peace now

“Lying in peoples windows” kek

And I was dating a guy over summer and he and his female roommate had two cats.
They kept one litter box in the KITCHEN and another on the top of the stairs. Litter was all over the stairs carpet and the kitchen always stunk. Smelled because his house was a general shit hole and the cat shit combined. Barf.

No. 1440995

I don't hate cats but I really don't fucking understand how it's fine for cat ownners to let their cats piss, shit and hunt in other people's property. They'll get really upset at off leash dogs (rightfully so) but then they expect everyone to be fine with their cats roaming around and if some accidents happen (like dogs biting cats that come into their yards, wild animals killing them or cars accidentally running them over at night) it's never their own fault of course. Eveyrone has to bend over backwards to let their cats have a stroll and play because they really can't be bothered to do it themselves.

>>1438285
>Thankfully they did recover, and they used dogs as herd protection after that and never had a problem.
This. People forget that cats are untrained (and untrainable in many cases) predators and will absolutely try to hunt small livestock like rabbits and chickens. Meanwhile there are dog breeds specifically bred and selected to guard livestock without killing, and they've been used successfully for hundreds of years. And my town's full of free-roaming cats but there are still a lot of rats around, so they don't even hunt pests that much. I've seen them hunt local birds a lot more.

>>1438096
>Her entire arms and hands were covered in cat bites and scratches and she just accepted it instead of training the cat.
An animal that can easily jump up to your face and on your furniture being clearly aggressive is fine, but oh my god that shaking chihuahua that can't jump or hunt is a literal baby killer!!

It always annoys me when people justify feral cat colonies by saying that cats are good rat control. All they do is stink up the place and end up going after easier prey such as lizards and birds since rats are big and can fight back. Small hunting dogs will always be much better at pest control than cats.

No. 1441014

I hate their high prey drive, I hate how they shit and piss inside, I hate how if they piss in a room or on an item it's basically fucking ruined worse than second hand smoke, I hate their nasty infectious mouths, I hate their super sharp claws and how they have to scratch up fucking everything, I hate how their food smells, I hate their nasty tongues, I hate their creepy slit eyes, I hate their tiny freak teeth, I hate their annoying screams and yowls especially outside at night, I hate how catfags always have at least 2-3 and their home smells like fucking shit, I hate how cat owners just let outside cats roam then shrug when it gets flattened by a car and they just by another.

This makes me feel like my cat is based he is really chill and doesn’t do any of those things (he is very uninterested in climbing things like the counters but we supply him with things to walk on) and he also would catch the mice that would come into our house occasionally. We keep him indoors only. I think I got so lucky with him and his personality is really great. I don’t think I could live with a cat that climbs counters or retarded. I’m not much of animal person either so again I thank god he is super chill. Moving out of my parents house though, I wouldn’t own one again

I don’t hate cats, but after growing up with cats and dogs and having them all my life, I’m kinda happy to be moved out and no longer own animals. Everyone acts like cats are soooo easy, they’re soooo clean, perfect apartment animals, etc., but they’re a lot of work and they damage your stuff. Cleaning litter boxes is gross and annoying, cat food smells awful, they will damage stuff with their claws even if they have scratching posts everywhere, it’s just the nature of them having such sharp claws. They will also find any little small space in your house and craw in and get stuck or mess it up. One of my old cats got stuck in this tiny space inside of our couch and peed inside of it, ruining the whole couch. I still don’t hate cats, but I hate people who act like they’re such easy animals to take care of, you need to do a lot of cleaning and cat-proofing before getting a cat.

For some reason cat scratches and bites hurt more than dog bites, at least for me. Most cats look menacing, cold and unapproachable, the cute ones just look too young or retarded. Cat lovers always say that cats are harder to handle because they're cooler, complex and more akin to humans, but I don't get it: It's a mascot, you're supposed to chill and have fun with it, if I wanted a "complex" relationship I would just get a friend

No. 1441258

Same. I enjoy volunteering at shelters, but I'm not planning on adopting any animals any time soon. Including cats, even though I love them a lot. They take way more effort than people want to admit, if you want to prevent behavioral problems and keep them safe. Btw wood cat pellets are the easiest to clean and reduce smell, you can just dump all the contents (you only need a small layer on the bottom) into the bin everyday and easily clean the litter box without it sticking to the sides. I do judge people who use generic cat litter and only scoop it, rarely fully cleaning the litterbox, when their cat isn't particularly picky and they haven't even tried wood pellets. I also judge people who think it's funny that their cat attacks them, instead of identifying how they are annoying or overstimulating their cat.
>>1441258
If you learn cat logic, they're more logical, simple and predictable than humans, but few people care to actually learn it. Instead projecting human emotions on them ("the cat is peeing on this to get back at me!" instead of realizing their cat has a UTI, kidney issues, hates the litter, think the litter box is too high, doesn't like the lid), misinterpreting cat body language as if it's a dog (thinking showing belly means wanting a belly rub instead of being a universal cat sign of "I feel comfortable enough to show you where my vulnerable organs are")

Cats still didn't evolve for thousands of years alongside cars and tractors. Nor is the FIV and other illnesses worth it. No-kill cat sanctuaries exist, you can catify your house and provide enough enrichment, build a catio, you can walk your cat, follow the natural play/hunt-feed-sleep schedule, you can actually learn how to properly play with your cat instead of lying that they don't like playing etc. All you're doing is revealing how you're a massive retard who doesn't provide enough enrichment to their cat, doesn't take in account that cats have different personalities and playstyles, so you think the only thing a cat can do is rot on your couch and that the only other alternative is exposing them to FIV and potentially being run over.

It's not the same. No matter how one cat proofs their house my cat can tell the difference. I know for certain I play with them fine because other cats love playing with me.

Some cats just do NOT do well inside

Evolved alongside cars?? What difference does it make? Im not going to stop going outside just because i can get robbed or get in car accident. That's ludicrous. It's completely unnatural to keep a cat indoors all the time, it deprives them of stimulation and happiness. But no my cats happiness doesn't matter.

God people will do anything to squeeze the joy out of every miniscule thing around them though. Take the most assbackwards approaches to what's honestly let's face it their man-made problems nested in manmade problems inside manmade problems.

Either way people are more revolting than both cats and dogs. Ok save for like 3 people i know. How the fuck can you be human and criticize cats for being their bare minimum natural selves? How the fuck is that? Like look in the mirror

People are so predictably tedious, suffocating and outrageous looking for the most freakish solutions to their apocalyptic problems. Oh but here's a long list of reasons cats suck so… let's look for ways to grind the spirit out of them too! same way we do for our creepy fucking species

I think cats look cute, but could never own one because of a similar experience. My ex owned an old male cat and whenever I would visit his house, there was cat litter everywhere on the floor. The cat had to eat special food and even then, would still barf a lot. The cat was neutered, but he still would pee on walls and poop in shoes if he was "in a bad mood" (that's how my ex put it). Cat pee smells awful and not to mention, you can't be near a cat's litter box while you're pregnant. The cat would also do biscuits on stuff and cause holes, try to sleep on my face, and other really annoying stuff.
Maybe this was an owner issue as well, but this experience ruined the thought of owning cats for me. Some cats are very calm and I've met a few of those, but others are very spastic and chaotic. And no matter what, I just don't want a pet that pees and poops in a box in the house.

No. 1441728

I'm so glad this thread exists because cat lovers can get on my nerves and I have heard anons here talking about how anyone who doesn't like cats is a terrible person. A lot of my negative feelings for cats stem from how irresponsible some cat owners are and how they callously and needlessly disregard the well-being of small animals. Too many times, I've seen acquaintances proudly posting photos of small native animals that their outdoor cats unnecessarily killed. Plus, it's obnoxious how a lot of cat owners treat cats as somehow being more worthy and special than other animals. I'm a birdfag myself but I won't get up in arms about how non-native parrots get culled because as sad as it is, they have negative environmental impacts. I've spoken with ecologists and there seems to be a reluctance to even suggest the idea of culling feral cats because of the amount of backlash there would be. The idea would almost certainly never be accepted in my area at least.

In any case, these issues aside, I am fine with responsibly cared for indoor cats and can enjoy their company. My sister has a pair of Bengals that are pretty cute and playful. However, I much prefer dogs and many other pets over cats.

You know what else needs to go outside? Dogs. You know what else isn’t socially/legally acceptable? Letting dogs free roam. Every sane and civilized person agrees that dogs need time outside AND also should not be allowed to free roam. Good dog owners walk their dogs daily. Why is this same expectation not extended to cat owners? Cat owners who insist their cat needs to go outside to be happy, get a leash or enclosed patio or shut the fuck up. You have ZERO excuses. It makes no sense that cats are the only animal, the only one, we still let free roam. It’s a cruel practice for the cats and wildlife. You are a bad owner if you let your cat free roam. You can make all the excuses you want, but when it comes down to it, it’s pure laziness on your part. You don’t want to train your cat to stay inside. You don’t want to provide enrichment for them inside. You don’t want to create a secure enclosure for them outside. You don’t want to train them to use a leash or take the time to walk them regularly. You are probably too lazy to even change a litter box so you just let them poop and pee in everyone else’s yard. Out of sight, out of mind, right? keep pretending that it’s because you love your cat. We all see it’s the exact opposite.

I got a new cat that's clingy as fuck. Loved my childhood kitties, but this one screams if I leave the room and will scratch at the door if I close it.

I asked him his biggest pet peeve on our first date, and he said "People who let their pets outside unsupervised," and then he proceeded to let his cat outside unsupervised every single day right in front of me as if he'd never said it

A decade ago, two randoms cats decided to use our parking lot as a giant litter box. Every morning, they shat and peed right fucking there and let me tell you: the smell was unbearable, nauseating, vomit inducing. The fumes of their waste amplified by the hottest summer we had in years permeated the place and the odor was so strong you could get dizzy, and no matter how many times we cleaned it, it smelled like shit (and rancid pee).

They are they worst. They try to claim that TNR will eventually decrease the population (studies show that’s not true), but how long are they expecting us to wait? So much damage will have already been done. And imo it’s way more cruel to make the cats slowly succumb to the outdoors than put them down humanely. It seems to be more about people making themselves feel better rather than actually helping cats. Feral cat advocates are some of the most unhinged people I’ve ever had to deal with. I wish they would instead put their passion and energy into building enclosed sanctuaries for feral cats that can’t be homed or something.

My issue is mostly with lazy/negligent owners more than anything else.

When I was a teenager, I went to a friend's house for a sleepover. Her room had a little reading loft (similar to picrel), and while I was climbing up there she said, "don't go up there, my cat pooped there." Sure enough, there were a bunch of piles of wet cat shit up there. What the fuck, why wouldn't you immediately clean it up? I've met a lot of cat owners that are just weirdly ambivalent about having poop in their living space like that, or take forever to clean up after the animal.

I actually like cats just fine, and after volunteering at a shelter, I've realized that they do really well when they have a room to themselves (even if it's somewhat small, like the size of a bathroom) especially if they have a cat friend in the space to hang out with. That way they don't walk on the counter, they have the privacy they need, they won't destroy furniture, and you can always find them if you need to. One of the scariest things about having a cat would be having to evacuate your home and not knowing where the cat is on short notice.

It’s happened to me several times. proton is the most popular free vpn and it’s servers are often full, and when you connect it connects to the least clogged available server—so if you and an anon connect around the same time, you are likely to be on the same server since most of them are already between 80-100% full. Combine that with the fact that Redacted got most of the ips on pvpn banned, and it’s even more likely.

The other day I was cleaning up after a cat at the shelter, and I saw a mouse run along the wall literally two feet from the cat and he did nothing. I'm not sure he even saw it. Then again, this particular cat is kind of a sickly old fart, so maybe he was just too elderly and lazy to give a fuck.

It probably also depends on the breed of the cat and its living environment. A cat that spent its whole life indoors in a clean space with no vermin probably isn't going to know what to do with an actual mouse, and neither will any kittens it has (because kittens learn to hunt from their mothers typically.) I feel like effective mousers are generally feral or barn cats raised by other similarly feral cats. This isn't to say that cuddly companion cats never control vermin, it's just that they generally catch stuff just when they feel like it, so if they're not in the mood to hunt or play, they're not going to go after a mouse even if they see it in their living space.

The rodents we want them to catch (house mice, brown rats, black rats) have evolved alongside them for thousands of years. They are much better adapted to avoid cats.

TNR doesn't work? I'll look into it, but yeah generally sanctuaries are the best option. I think it's unpopular due to how much it costs to buy a big plot of land and the running costs. Compared to TNR and being done with that cat. Main reason TNR is done because if you kill cats, you get public outcry and treated the same way PETA was for doing it while claiming to care about animals. So that's the last thing anyone would do.

>TNR doesn't work?
Yeah, especially if you're feeding them. They often just become drop-off areas for more and more cats. For TNR to work, it needs to be a closed population and reach a sterilization rate of something like 80%. Something has to change in the culture for there to be a solution. Cats, like any domestic animal released by humans where they don't belong, become invasives that we have a responsibility to remove before they damage the environment. Capturing them only to abandon them in the wild again is just neglect in my eyes. If they can be homed, home them, if not, they need to be humanely euthanized.

No. 1442383

Honestly, homing them is just as useless then, since most people are retards who think it's cruel if you don't let your cat wander outside unsupervised. By that point there's no difference between TNR and homing them. You can spend all that time socializing feral cats in shelters, only for some retard to adopt them and whine and seethe that they HAVE to let the cat outside. To the average normie, keeping a cat inside, with a catio and walking them regularly, is equal to killing them.

I think maybe if people come at it hard enough from a pet ethics standpoint, it might catch on, but I do feel like it needs some kind of legal enforcement as well. The reason there aren't stray dogs where I live is because people are given hefty fines and stray dogs are taken off the street immediately (in combination with people recognizing it's not normal or good to have dogs free-roaming). I hope one day the world will operate like that but for cats. Like when a dog is seen on the street here, I can guarantee you multiple cars of people will stop, everyone will be on their phone trying to find the owner, making posts on NextDoor, getting its microchip read, etc. I want that same reaction for cats.

I feel this. All of my friends love cats and while I don't outright hate them I just don't really feel anything towards them. They're "cute, I guess" but nothing much more. I go crazy over dogs and puppies so it's not like I'm not an animal person but people showing me "cute cat photos" just doesn't do it for me. I always make sure not to say anything about this out loud in order not to hurt their feelings but then they see it fit to complain about dogs all the fucking time despite knowing that I love them.

I want to like cats, I really do, but they are just not the animal for me. A friend asked me to cat sit and I agreed, hoping that maybe I would see the light, but at the end of my 3 weeks of cat sitting… I still just didn't like them. They were funny and quirky in their own way, but at the end of the day I would not want a cat of my own.

They were destructive and their claws hurt, and I tried my best to wear them out by playing with them a lot but they still wouldn't let up clawing at the couch (which my friend asked me to try and get them not to do, and he had bought multiple different types of scratching posts for them). One of them never wanted to play with toys but only wanted to play with my feet under the covers when I went to bed (i.e. clawing at them), which is like ha-ha yes fun game but please let me sleep. They were always knocking things over, which isn't that bad in the grand scheme of things, but I was afraid one of them was going to knock off this giant hanging poster my friend had in his living room. They also kept walking on the stove (which he warned me they would do) so I was terrified of them going up on it and burning their paws. He covered his stove in aluminum to try and discourage it but it doesn't bother them.

This is also a me problem but they're just really hard for me to read. They'll come up for pets and the next thing you know I've got scratches up my arm. I just avoided petting them or pet them for short periods of time because risking getting scratched wasn't worth it.

Cats are natural predator animals. Sometimes when we pet them for too long or in certain ways it can trigger their hunting instincts. They don’t mean to hurt you, it’s more common in younger cats and a lot of cats stop doing it as they age. If you want to know at all.

They rarely get up on the counters, it's only the stove they're interested in. He said one of them will sometimes get up on the fridge and will jump up on the counter first, but it's rare and it didn't happen when I was catsitting. He always discourages it regardless and tells them to get off when he sees/hears it.

Thanks for the explanation on the hunting instincts though! I didn't know that.

Sometimes cats will get bored of getting petted and decide they want to play instead. They're fickle like that. A lot of cats like to play rough, too, with claws and teeth. That's the main reason cats do that annoying "bear trap" thing, where they roll over and let you pet their belly only to latch onto your arm. They think it's a game.

Whenever I visit someone's house and they have a cat, I'm careful to pet its side instead of it's belly when it rolls over, that way it can't trap me. I have to be really careful not to get scratched too much, because I'm allergic and it gives me hives.

Bullshit, big cats do it too. It's cat body language for "I trust you enough to expose where my vulnerable organs are", if you then touch their belly, you shamed their trust and get to suffer for it. They aren't dogs who secretly like it.

Whenever I see people gushing about tourist locations full of cats in places like Japan and Greece, I just think about all the destruction. I can't find it cute or charming at all. The places are often islands too, which means they usually have sensitive endemic species. As an island nation, Japan has a lot of endemic species, but it seems like they care way more about cats than they do their native animals. It's sad.

warning : novel
I love cats, i'm just here to complain about unstable people owning cats. THere's a very popular ragdoll breeder on instagram i've been following for well over 5+ years and i've seen her go from a very well caring breeder who really was a kind person to absolute turmoil and basically throwing her cats away without any proper explanation that fits her character.
She had a divorce? or break up a couple of years ago that basically made her homeless and with a ton of cats. this started her heavily reliant dependence on her followers to lick her feet for her despair and carry her to the next checkpoint. she needed money to move into a new place and needed a place at all in the bumfucknowhere in sweden and cried endlessly about this for months until she had a place and things were fine. But as the year went on she increasingly and obviously could not handle isolation and being alone. she continued to breed her cats and aquire new queens and sires, she never had issues until recently when her new mothers simply did not want to take care of the kittens or was scared of her own kittens. a lot and i mean unusual a lot of her kittens were weak , small litters, and deaths. this caused her to spiral even more but still continued to post upwards of 10+ times a day of her cats doing anything and everything with occasional rants about her life. her followers would comfort her and tell her it was not her fault and such is the case with breeding anything. just a few would recommend her to take a break but most kept pressuring her that it was okay to keep going. she rehomed several cats during this time so that her other cats were not as stressed and or were not fit to be mothers. she complained of her depression and trying to be treated for it without any sort of progress, and became incredibly sick to the point of hospitalization.
now you would think that someone with 7 cats, and up to this point actively breeding them would go "wow, i could have died recently, i cannot even remember to feed my cats" would quit breeding all together and try and move on with her life. this is a woman with no real social life. all she does is post her cats just staring at something. and occasionally begging.
but no. her "solution" to this problem was to rehome even her most beloved cat she's had for her entire journey of breeding to a new home and many others. with no clear wording about the state of breeding, or even what she was to do with her life. she asked HER FOLLOWERS which cats she should keep. absolutely incapable of making a choice of the cats shes had for years at this point to pick the ones who are most forgiving to her current condition.
she gave no explanation for the cats she picked to rehome and she continued to post overly happy and overly "everything is okay" posts when it's incredibly clear it's forced and her whoopsies like double feeding and forgetting and commenting on the fact she isn't completely okay still. everyone comments how hard it is to et over physical illness but nobody dares to comment on the fact she's incredibly mentally unwell. she needs help and shes continuing to neglect her cats, her home looks so much more dirtier, nobody is helping her. she has little self awareness that she needs to give up and move back to where she can be around people who can help her get bac on track with life instead of completely shutting down the moment something bad happens. why would you own, breed, and post your cats this often when you KNOW you're not healthy? she's never been in a more vulnerable yet promising spot that she could get out of this situation. and maybe one day in the future return to this when she's not crying every day and ruining her life more?

Same. I get so many videos on my IG about how there are thousands of feral and stray cats in turkey and they just live like that. makes me think those places smell like cat piss. Imagine the destruction to native animals all these cats are doing, as well as using your streets as a litter box. Probably have parasites too. I wish we could normalize putting strays down. It's very sad, but I think doing the catch release program only lets cats roam wild without the thought of reproducing more feral cats, but doesnt stop the problem at the roots.

I didn’t notice this double standard of dogs vs cats before, but nonnas are right. You don’t see islands of stray dogs getting popularized. There’s no “catch and release” for dogs. Cats are smaller, yes, but are destructive. And honestly, cats stink everything up worse.

I understand dogs can be destructive, large breeds to an extreme degree (like ripping through doors or some shit), but why is it acceptable if a cat can be destructive? Because the worse you'll have is some broken cups that's been knocked off a table or some scratched up couches or curtains? Why is any pet of any size causing destruction accepted in any degree? Toys exist, scratching posts exists, your animals need to be fulfilled so as to not destroy your shit, or should have their destructive energy/need redirected to something else.

I can't remember if it was a post here or somewhere else but I remember reading some insane rant by someone saying that dog owners must be so far up their own ass and conceited or extremely controlling to want to own a dog, because many dog breeds are eager to please their owners and easy to train. Training a dog is bad… but not training a dog (leading to a potentially feral and extremely dangerous animal) is also not ok…? Cats were superior, because they are smart and independent and not so mindless to be easily trained. Is that really supposed to be a perk?

I was over there to help my bf aid in taking care of his friend's other cat which was a baby and needed a bottle and I tried to help the other cat by wiping it's eyes with a damp rag and it would just run and ride. It frustrated me so much. I sent that scrote a long paragraph about stuff he could do for the cat medwise and he just ignored me. Apparently the cat just got better now according to my bf that visits him but I haven't seen the scrote since and he hates me now apparently. Fuck me right

I'm allergic to cats, but I still like to pet them from time to time.

I know all different pet circles have some psychos, but with a dog, for example, you often see the same faces while out on walks, see what condition they're in, and anyone who'd try to walk up to someone, and get all up in their business, would become a subject of gossip of the nearby dogpark for being a fucking weirdo.

The one thing I hate the most about cats is their dirty ass litter boxes. Cat owners will sit in their houses and inhale cat piss scent all day long. I guess toxoplasmosis causes this for some people. I was grossed out constantly when I had a cat. He would even track his litter into my bed. He would jump on my counters even when I cooked and it was so nasty. I remember onetime I caught my cat ROLLING around in his litter box like a chinchilla. I did not want to touch him for the longest time after seeing that. Cats are cute silly little guys but I don't think I can ever own a cat again due to the litter box. I don't even like the idea of my cat pissing on wood chips instead like how some people suggest just because its just nasty that their shit and piss sits in a box in my house. Thats just mental illness. Outdoor kitties are cool tho.

This. I believe in the ones that dislikes the owners (instead of the cats themselves), but I have seen that there is much more disdain for cats than dogs. Dogs are liked by about ~40% and cats and dogs are ~30%, while people who only prefer cats were about ~15%.

However, I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but there's a reason why people react less to cats getting abused and hate them. Cats are independent and takes time to know. I checked this thread, and it seems like a lot have fair reasons, though there are a few that painted me as moids. I like dogs, though I also like cats more. I just hope that the nonnies in here don't support killing cats (as a solution for them ruining the ecosystem could be housing them), since I know a lot of people who 100% hate cats do kill them. A lot of scrotes in those subreddits dedicated to hating cats have supported killing kittens and whatnot.It is normal for people to kill cats where I live, especially families of them. My grandma would raise them and feed them and try to take them to humane society, though they always disappeared the next week. Always. I can agree with hating pet owners, I do too.

The difference in the rates of people liking dogs vs people liking cats is likely because one, dogs do love unconditionally and everyone wants to be loved. And it's not that I hate cats, hell, I spend large portions of my job educating the public on how to better take care of their cat physically and mentally because I don't want animals to suffer. But cats are not only more independent, but I do think they understand the concept of revenge on others and won't hesitate to make their displeasure known over petty bullshit.
I wish we took more time and care into the breeding of cats. We spent thousands of years honing dogs into the perfect companion before the Victorian era of pure breeds started messing everything up, but we never did that with cats, just jumped straight to breeding them only for looks.
Nona, when you say no killing, do you mean no euthanizing of cats ever, or do you mean killing them outside a vet office? Because unfortunately, there are too many feral cats and not enough homes. If we truly wished to save the environment and remove the invasive species, it would involve euthanizing many cats.

I meant killing them outside a vet office. Though the euthanizing is a whole other problem of animals in general, I do believe some vets are a bit pessimistic when not giving animals chances, not all, but some. I think this is just an issue of industrialization though, not them.

I agree with this, however a lot of them do kill cats for fun. Where I live, they do things like shooting kittens. Some have done things like bashing them on concrete. There is a lot more abuse of cats more than dogs, I've researched into this topic since I wanted to help at an animal sanctuary. Perhaps the reason why I believe into cats so much is because I relate to them, and why I think most women are like cats, independent and requires time and effort to care for. I have been outcasted by society just like most cats. The most disheartening thing for me is this reality that these cats are not by farms where I am, but by cities. People purposely run over cats, theyve done it to ducks as well here. They will purposely cut off their heads sometimes. What breaks my heart is that the reason sometimes when men hates cats, is because cat's do feel less traction to men, they go more towards to women. Most animals feel more comfortable with women because they know that women would not go on psychotic episodes like men. My issue has to do from historical reasons like europeans, who have gone as far to killing baby kittens just due to the belief that they are diabolical. This is still a huge belief, especially for black cats. I think denying that cats do get abused more is a bit unfair to them. I am posting this for any scrotes reading this, that killing them not for farm related reasons, but for pure torture, is still hurtful because there are people who are trying to better them, who are trying to save them.
>>1451445
I understand, though I just wish that cats were not as abused as they were, including dogs. I do not understand why men will care more about dogs (of course, dogs are unconditional and will go to anyone) but will excuse their abuse on cats because cats can lash out when you force yourself on them. It just is very telling to me as a woman. I do not feel comfortable when men hate cats, but when women hate them, I can understand.

Even domestic cats had to be put down once they were discovered to be causing damage for the neighbors. Cats should be indoor only, since you can't really restrain them like dogs. Indoor cats becoming outdoor cats are actually even worse than ones being used to the outside life, they exhibit even more hunting behaviour according to studies.

Sorry you had to hear it here but that's what comes with being the dominant sapient species on the planet. Regardless of correctness, we're able to make world-altering choices to suit our species' purpose and so that's what we do.
Most of us individually don't have enough of a carbon footprint to matter ecologically (save that ire for celebrity jets or w/e, one of those 15 minute jet trips emits more CO2 than my entire life's car usage twice over I did the math once) so I'm not sure what argument you're trying to make about an individual's internet or car usage?

How many hunters do you know? I used to live in a rural area and still only knew a handful of hunters, out of that small number only one didn't do it exclusively for food. Trophy hunting was more of a thing back in my mom's and grandmom's day unquestionably, but it's fallen out of favor compared to subsistence hunting these days.
I've had to clean off dozens of dead and half dead birds from my auntie's porch because her cat would go out, half-kill something, and then bring it back for her because that's what his instincts told him to do. I don't really belong in this thread because I like cats, but I can also recognize that modern cats do not belong outdoors in areas that did not evolve for them. Ecological devastation caused by humans does not remove the fact that cats are predator animals who have been released in multiple ecosystems that are not designed for them. It's deeply tragic, but it's simple fact that there are invasive animals causing trouble and humans are going to step in and stop it regardless of how cute we think the cars are.

I don't hate all cats but I don't see the point in owning a cat that's aggressive or that doesn't stay and want to be cuddled. I mean isn't that why you'd get a cat in the first place? To have something be affectionate towards you? A loving cat is infinitely better than some bitch cat that only comes to you when it wants food and scratches your furniture and shit and no, it's not funny.
I was crucified every time when I expressed that if i ever get a cat, I want a ragdoll that's bred from a reputable source like oMg adOpT dont sHoP why would u spend money when you can have a shelter cat?? well maybe because I want a cat that is proven to have a certain behavior and has a history of healthy parents. I swear cat people are some of the nuttiest I've ever met.
Same shit happened when I said that if I'd ever get a dog, it'd be a golden retriever. Like excuse me for wanting to have a gentle pedigreed dog instead of some mutt with unpredictable behavior.
Also cats attacking eachother or humans is not funny, cats being cunts is not fufnny.
You calling yourself "cat mom" or "cat dad" is NOT FUNNY AT ALL. Don't fucking equate having a pet who sleeps 18h to being a mom/dad. Those people piss me off the most, next to those idiots who spitefully say to their family about their cat that it's that only grandchild their parents will ever have. It makes me wanna puke.

I love dogs a ton and avoid the dog hate thread like the plague. I pretend it doesn't even exist. But like everything else, it just feels nice to have a place where other people dislike something that a person searching for likemindedness dislikes. Cats shit, so do people. Dogs bark and make noise, people are noisey too. Animals all have issues, and yes, fuck cats. The amount of damage and the type of damage is different from any other animal. I just get how people get labeled as scrotes for hating a fucking animal. There are so many stupid cat gifs and reaction images on this site and nobody seems to pay them any mind.

The cat was always retarded, but now it has dog like traits and if i wanted an stupid animal who only lives for food even if it can't eat it I would have gotten a labrador. The worst part is that in a few weeks my family is going on a vacation and I KNOW the little shit is going to die the second they left the house, so I'm the one who has to take care of the corpse. Fuck i hate petfaggority, this shit should have ended weeks ago.

God I fucking hate outdoor cat owners. I can't understand how they're all more than fine with their pets killing wildlife and other people's pets like pond fish for sport and justify it by saying it's nature but act like this when their own pet is finally on the receiving end of it.

Are you unaware of the fact that coyotes are common in many suburban and rural areas around the world? Especially in america, there are a lot of wild animals running around at night that could easily harm an outdoor cat. There are bears, foxes and birds of prey too. If you leave your cat outdoor you have to accept the risks of it.

>>1902411
I absolutely cannot stand their attitude when it comes to cats wiping out wildlife. There are several professional studies that document how cats were and are responsible for the disappearance of many native bird species all over the world. I even learned that in some areas their waste infects sea animals with toxoplasmosis. They shrug it all off saying "it's nature" or it's not important. No it's not you fucking idiot!! Cats aren't native everywhere and they shouldn't roam free and hunt native species that may be important for that particular environment. Most of the time the cats just play with the prey without eating it.

Plant lavender and similar cat-repelling plants, it'll keep any new cats from coming into your garden in the first place.

Alternatively, plant catnip and/or mint at the edge of your property line so they're too busy getting high to go near your garden: https://www.gardenbenches.com/blog/plants-to-deter-cats/ If you plant mint, make sure to container-plant it as mint grows like crazy and will nudge out almost everything else.

I don't really hate cats but their owners greatly underestimate the damage they do not only to native wildlife (I like birds, especially the local species, and every time some ignorant bitch goes "it's naturree who cares about some birdd!! Kitty cute!!" I wish I could deck them) but also to humans. Cat scratches have higher rates of infection because people think their claws and paws are clean (they're not) and they don't get them checked out because they think that if the wound looks small then it's not that serious, while in reality cat scratches are often thin but pretty deep and they're the perfect place for nasty bacteria to grow. People get dog bites checked out because the wounds are big, flashy and open, so overall the infection rate tends to be lower (not talking about mauling, just bites).

>>2104070
This happened twice to me and my dog, a big orange fucker just came out of a yard completely unprovoked and tried to scratch my dog's face. First time it happened I put myself between and the little bitch met my boot instead (I wasn't actively kicking it, it lunged at my dog but crashed on me and ran). Though on the other hand I have met a cat that was nice to my dog (it was a calico) which is unusual because they start hissing and growling as soon as any another animal approaches them no matter the behaviour. Cat attacks can blind other animals because they often aim at the face.

"Anthropogenic threats, such as collisions with man-made structures, vehicles, poisoning and predation by domestic pets, combine to kill billions of wildlife annually. Free-ranging domestic cats have been introduced globally and have contributed to multiple wildlife extinctions on islands. The magnitude of mortality they cause in mainland areas remains speculative, with large-scale estimates based on non-systematic analyses and little consideration of scientific data. Here we conduct a systematic review and quantitatively estimate mortality caused by cats in the United States. We estimate that free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually. Un-owned cats, as opposed to owned pets, cause the majority of this mortality. Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic mortality for US birds and mammals. Scientifically sound conservation and policy intervention is needed to reduce this impact."

Look, I really hate to defend the extremists itt but it's not really fair to compare family dogs to family cats. Most family dogs are kept in a fenced in yard and only taken outside of that yard on a leash. Family cats must be kept fully indoors (or in a catio/enclosed outdoor space), otherwise they will wander outside of their yard and into public spaces and other people's property. Other posters have provided information about how devastating outdoor family and feral cats are to local wildlife. My neighbor let all of her cats outside and one of them would bring a dead bird to either her or my doorstep literally once a week until he died (well before his time because he was allowed outside where there are cars and coyotes). Most family dogs can't cause that kind of destruction because they're more directly supervised.

I feel like cat owners use cats as shitty boyfriends that can't get them pregnant. There's a near endless supply of them. Most of them can't so much as open their mouths without screaming. They leave a house a stinking mess. They only stop acting shitty when they want food or affection. They're gone for days at a time so often that it's normal.

They don't clean, they don't brush the cat (cat hair even in their asscracks meanshile the cat is matted and stinky), they don't entertain it (so they're free roaming), why the fuck do they have pets? To take pictures to post on social media (no one cares about them)?

I hate when it cools down around here because all the outdoor cats lay in the residential streets at night to keep warm and you can't see most of them on the asphalt because they blend right in. But cat owners don't even care about their own pet's wellbeing, can't possibly expect them to care about how some rando driver feels after accidentally running one over. I know this is the hate thread but I felt fucking terrible for weeks. Poor kitty should have been inside with a loving toxoplasmo-poisoned family, not out in the streets where cars dwell and deranged moids stalk the pavement.

At least you can bathe dogs and keep them outside without fear of them hunting native wildlife purely for fun, imagine choosing to keep an animal that “cleans” itself with its disease ridden tongue because it hates water so much that you can’t bathe it (though most catfags are rancid smelling unwashed degenerates themselves, which checks out) and shits in a box and steps in it, along with said shit box, in your house and somehow thinking that’s better than using a plastic bag to pick up a dog turd and dispose of it in a sanitary manner.

This is another problem with cat owners, they tend to be lazy so they never bathe their cats (because they think they bathe themselves in saliva) so when the cat becomes old and won't groom itself anymore they'll just let it rot under mats and dirt because now the cat doesn't want to touch water since it was never trained to.

Cats are so much more dirty and disease addled than dogs are, having a dog in the house isn’t exactly sanitary but you can bathe them and let them spend time outside.

That's the thing, dogs aren't clean by nature either but at least you can bathe a dog without too many issues. If a dog rolls or steps in shit during a walk it's disgusting, but at least you can go home and clean it right away. If a cat rolls in carcasses/its litterbox and steps in shit or piss you'll just have to accept having piss/shit/bacteria everywhere in your house because you can't bathe most cats without getting 100 infected scratches on your face and arms, and most cat owners just don't know how to bathe an animal because they never do it out of lazyness or ignorance, and it's not like they notice if a cat stepped in some gross shit because catfags let them out unsupervised or leave them inside but barely look at them.

I like cats fine but why are cat owners so disgusting? Why? How hard is it to clean after your pet? Also it deeply frustrates me that they're so neglectful and make excuses for it. Almost every person in my life who owns a cat is kind of fat and lazy so of course instead of opting to play with their cat or take it out on a leash and get a work out in they just let the poor thing out so it can get run over or murdered by a psychotic moid. I was walking from work today and sawva cat with a completely squashed head on the road. I just saw his little collar with his name on it. "Billy". Why'd these people let this happen to him? If they actually loved him they would have kept him safe and sound but no, he NEEDS to go outside without supervision for some reason. The nerve so many of them have complaining about off leash dogs. You too! You also need to practice BASIC responsibility. You are not exempt! They're so entitled. Also recently a psychotic teenage moid from my area was running around decapitating neighborhood cats. Why are people so lenient about letting these animals roam around when shit like this happens?? Don't even get me started on the state of their homes. To be honest,not trying to glaze or anything but most dog owners (excluding pit owners) are a lot more pleasant than cat owners. Honestly a lot of cat owners come off to me as having BPD.

Psycho moids shouldn't be free to go outside, but even without them their cats can still be severely injured by car accidents and wild predators or even other cats that can be very violent.

I remember one time a grey cat we had came home with his throat slashed by another cat, meat was hanging from his chin. I no longer want to keep cats because I think they're incompatible with a clean house, but if they're beloved pets then they shouldn't be outside with so many dangerous things, the same goes for dogs and every other pet but cat owners want to be special.

Dogs will love you unconditionally no matter what they’re subjected to (I’m not saying that it’s a good thing, people who are cruel to dogs know this and exploit it) whereas cats are selfish, greedy, stupid, murderous, destructive psychopaths.

They are much bigger menaces than people talk about. Everyone says they are easier animals than dogs; but my dog listens and learns. The cats just fuck shit UP.

I let her in the backyard and she caught a squirrel and shook it to its demise. I was not happy about it, she dropped it the second I told her to but it was too late. It happened pretty fast.

As a bunny lover and a cat hater this makes me want to a-log so fucking hard, I hate these hideous wretched abominations and their parasite riddled owners so much, you just know that the retard catfucker was so proud of their rotten shitbeast for this. I will remember this next time I am (LEGALLY, because it is legal and also recommended where I live for the sake of the wildlife, much of which is endangered) culling ferals(alogging cats)

It’s funny because to me liking cats is a massive red flag. I’d never date a “cat person”. Owning cats tells me that you’re mentally unstable, dirty, unhygienic, selfish, have no concept of respect or boundaries and probably don’t care about the environment or other living creatures.

>pets are part of the family
No they are not. They are animals. Personally I find having any pets of any species objectionable, keeping animals indoors both gross and unethical, but at least certain breeds of dog can serve a purpose beyond entertainment for humans. Cats are entirely useless. Their existence is far more detrimental to humans and the planet in its entirety than it is beneficial. They are filthy, destructive creatures that people have been deluded into believing are domesticated; I would argue that cats are not and cannot be domesticated. They are demonstrably stupid (scientific studies back this up) and cannot be trained out of their sociopathic instincts. In fact they cannot be trained at all; just look at how much damage they cause to homes of their owners, scratching up carpets and furniture, tracking their own shit over every surface, pissing everywhere, breaking household items because their retard brains insist on jumping all over everything, I mean just look at how many low IQ catfags sperg about not being able to have a Christmas tree or plants in the house because their vermin wrecks everything it comes into contact with. Anyone who chooses to live in those conditions is clinically insane.

Hating cats means you’re ugly and you’re jealous that cats get to be loved just because they exist. I’ve never seen a good looking person who hates cats. Dog haters are the same, but the people on the dog hate threads just hate obnoxious owners. You people literally hate the cats themselves. Very low iq and pathetic.(USER HAS BEEN PUT OUT TO PASTURE)

People who day cats re cleaner than other pets bc they wash themselves are crazy. The cat uses its toxoplasmosis ridden mouth to lick its asshole and then the rest of the body, how tf is that clean? Cats also have way more dangerous bacteria in their mouths and on their claws than a dog, cat bites and scratched lead to sepsis and amputation bc they are so filthy. A cat can kill a rodent or a bird by licking them bc they are filled with nasty bacteria.

I hate how obsessed cat people can get. I feel like it can’t be a coincidence that the most autist weeb gamer socially inept smelly broke people all happen to be obsessed with them. Cats are a common pet so normal people and families will have one and it’s fine. But there’s a specific type of toxoplasmosis ridden nerd that has to have 4 in their tiny apartment that smells like shit and they make it their personality.
