I hate cats……

Oh I love furry little critters...cats, dogs and rabbits but I prefer dogs though I don't have one of my own.

I'm one of the first to mutter and chunter about cats and the damage they can cause ... but ... the world would be a sadder and poorer place without them.

I’ve always been a dog person though I’m fond of all animals. Before I got my dog and while I was still working, I used to have a cat stroll through my open back door or window. I didn’t feed him as it looked like he was well looked after. He used to sit on my lap of an evening or weekend and keep me company for a few hours until he upped and left. Once when I was quite ill and off work, he came through my bedroom window and snuggled up next to me every day until I was better. I can only think his owners were out at work and he needed some company!

We used to have a little ginger and white girl, a present from one my husband's clients. The man walked into his veterinary surgery one day and said "I hear that you want a kitten". She was clueless about hunting one frog and a mouse in twelve years! Having previously ha very good hunters it was a relief! She lived happily with our Great Danes, I love both cats and dogs

I like cats and dogs but I have asthma so am allergic to both. I have to get my cat and dog 'fix' from family and friends' pets.

I’ve had cats and dogs rabbits etc all my life, love them all! While I agree I wouldn’t like cats using my garden as a toilet I would never say I hated them, I have indoor cats so my cats don’t do this, or harm wildlife, or get lost run over etc, they don’t annoy anyone, bring us endless joy,

I wonder if temperament and personality have anything to do with our love of either dogs or cats?
Do outgoing, talkative, straightforward people prefer dogs and quieter, more introspective, independent and even complicated people prefer cats?
On the other hand, I believe if you have grown up with a particular pet, that will colour your preference.

Another crazy cat lady here. I love my furry fiends (not a sp mistake ?) although I could have done with the massive dead rat they left as a present yesterday just as I was leaving for work. Could have been worse I suppose it could have been running around my kitchen ?

I dislike cats, they are fickle and as the saying goes they own you and choose to stay, if someone down the street feeds them better off they go.
Also the tioleting in your flower beds is doisgusting to say the least.So no you are not alone.

I love my cat. You dont have to take them out and they are very independent which I like. Always had cats but I do like dogs too. The downside to cats are the hunting which I dont like, finding dead mice etc. Lots of people dont like cats though.

I love my cat. She is a rescue. I'm not so keen on dogs

Black and white cats are my favourite.
They always seem to have friendly personalities.

Here's our latest foster cats wanting a home.

Kate your little visitor is almost irresistible.

It does look well cared for.
Very cute, too.

I don't think this one's homeless. It's very well fed and glossy.

Oh, I wish a homeless cat would come and look at me through my window.
One in desperate need of a home.
Then I would HAVE to take it in.
Cats melt my heart a little bit.

I know! Sometimes it rolls about trying to look even more cute to entice me to open the door!

It's wee face!

Yes I can Miss A. It's very sweet.

I reckon that cat has heard that a really nice woman lives behind that glass.
Can you sense it looking at you?
I love cats' ability to do that.

I like cats. I think the feeling is mutual judging by this one It keeps trying to get in here. I have no idea who owns it but it looks well cared for

If anyone came to my door just once or twice, my cat would remember them and go up to greet them if they went past.
He followed my daughter into her school assembly once.

Anyone who says cats are aloof really hasn't known enough cats. Ours are so affectionate and cuddly. It's not just for food as I don't feed them. (That's DHs dept)

all i can say is that you are missing the love of a cat - something so special it can never be replaced when lost.

Thank you lemon. We had pets for our daughter - a hamster, fish - she's allergic to cats and dogs. Well I know I'm a nice person. I don't take much notice of people who imply that I'm not because I don't like (I never said hate) dogs. It's ridiculous.
