    Better question is why people don’t like cats.

      Some people are better with consent than others.

        And it goes both ways. Lots of dogs will run up and jump on you, lick you, ram their nose into your crotch, etc. Most cats won’t do anything they might be considered intrusive unless you’ve put quite a bit of effort into convincing them it’s ok.

        So do humans, what’s your point?

            Cats do a lot of damage here.

            You could say the same thing about humans. We’re actually going for the 6th mass extinction right now.

              Yeah and that its why many dont like humans. Also, having 2 genocidal species around makes it worse for everyone else.

        So don’t let your cats outside?

            Sounds like a good reason to hate cat owners rather than cats

        I just want you to know that I downvoted you because you whined about being downvoted, not because of facts.

        Just to be completely open.

      Personally I don’t want to have some animal jumping around on my furniture, eating my (potentially harmful) plants, kicking down stuff, sleeping on my face at night.

      But I like them … at someone elses home.

      Animals in general, lots are cute and innocent

      Maybe it’s because cars are more common so you’re more likely to know one, and also that they show up online a lot more

      When you ask someone “what’s your favourite animal” it’s usually not “cats”, but people like them enough
