I don't HATE cats.
I dislike them.
I think you may have some trouble getting responses on this post cause I'm sure I'll get flamed by cat lovers around the world. Please don't, cause I'm honestly gonna answer the question.
My girlfriend has a cat at her best friend's house. Notice how it is at her best friend's, not hers. Every few weeks, she brings up the cat. Every few weeks, I put the conversation off to another time. I know that's not good, but I can't compromise on the cat. I really don't get along well with cats. They don't seem to like me. Cat's also show very little "emotion", instead choosing to remain aloof. I'd like a better companion. Also, I wear black suits to work. Most dogs don't shed hair, and dogs can stay off the furniture. Cats get into things - like knocking things over, scratching up matresses, etc.
And this one gets to me more than any other. They are not clean. And before you say, "oh, they keep themselves clean constantly!", please consider:
1. They walk in their litter boxes
2. They have no problem walking on your kitchen counters, on your appliances, jumping places animals do not belong. I cook. I don't want the cat anywhere near the kitchen.
3. They shed awfully. Ever sat down on a piece of furniture where the cat has been? Those of you that have cats will say, "its no too bad." Well, it is if you don't have cats and aren't used to looking like a lint magnet.
4. They love to kill random animals, then bring them back around your house.
I am sure I will upset a cat lover or two. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to, I'm just trying to list why I don't like cats. I recognize that people who have cats love them dearly and I respect their opinions.
