Some people genuinely hate cats and many people simply hate a particular cat in their lives and stretch the dislike to the entire species. Men in particular harbour hostile feelings towards felines especially if their significant other owns cats. Cats can actually be the deal breaker when considering a relationship especially if the object of affection owns several. Whether this pet prejudice seem illogical to you or not; there are ten common reasons men dislike cats.
1. Cats Are Independent
People tend to like pets that fawn over them and cannot live without their owner’s company. Cats do not fit that mould. This personality trait is not true for every single cat; there are some who are insecure and clingy. However, the average cat will be very self-possessed and will exert their own will over what their owner wants at any given time. Cats do not always come when called (although many do as long as it suits them), will hide when you really need them to go to the vet, and hate to be restrained in any way. Cat lovers learn very quickly not to hug their pets too closely and to always let the animal go when they do not want to be cuddled anymore. Even docile cats will scratch to escape a tight embrace. If you try and force a cat to stay in your arms that animal is less apt to come to you again. Cats are not pack animals like dogs and do not require affection to survive. They can definitely fair better when alone or homeless than dogs. Despite being independent and proud, cats still gift their owners with attention and love if the human is worthy.
