Jokes are jokes, I think we know that.

The fact remains that there are many more, shall we say, anti-cat jokes than anti-dog.

That leads to the somewhat flimsey conclusion that cats are more widely hated than dogs. Or, at least more people make funny jokes about cats being killed than they do about dogs. The question is why.

Not that I'm trying to be rude, because I do appreciate your taking a stab at why you don't like cats, but your reasons are funny. Just as funny as my reasons for not liking dogs.

The thing is, BOTH animals have annoying circumstances. The question is: Whose shit are you predisposed to put up with? The cat's, or the dog's?

See, the thought that "most dogs don't shed" is funny as fuck. Because it's wrong. Even humans shed hair, I find my girl's hair all over the bathroom. But I don't let it bother me. Much like, for you, dog hair isn't a problem. Because you like them.
See, my cat is white. He has long hair. He sheds all over the fucking place. It is most certainly annoying, especially when I wear dark colors (as you might imagine). Since I like the cat, my solution is to buy a couple of lint rollers.
My buddy has two dogs. The little one has dark, fairly short hair. I never seem to notice it on me. The big dog is some kind of golden retriever mix thingy, her hair is blonde, and longer. That big ass animal is always getting fur all over me. I like her because she's so outgoing, and friendy, but that hair...
See, the joke's on me. Hair from one animal, no problem. Hair from the other, and I'm telling the damn dog to get off me.

That preferance naturally is going to make some behaviors more acceptable, while the same behaviors in another animal will not be.

Dogs are fun, outgoing, and fairly easy to read. Cats require both a little more, and a little less, involvement from the owner.

The question will remain: Whose shit are you choosing to ignore.
