why are dog lovers so hateful??? like you meet a cat lover and they’re like “oh i love dogs a lot too! i just prefer cats!” but dog lovers are always like “my ENTIRE FAMILY was MURDERED by a CAT, a cat STOLE MY GIRLFRIEND, BURNED MY HOUSE DOWN, TOOK MY JOB AND KEYED UP MY CAR"
Copypasting something I wrote on Facebook a couple years ago (thanks JJ for reminding me of it):
I didn’t really grow up with dogs, so I’m learning about dog behavior as an adult and the more I learn, the more creeped-out I am by a specific subset of “dog people” who usually also “hate cats,” because it’s becoming obvious that these people don’t actually know their dogs’ avoidance/anxiety signals, so they’re just stomping all over these animals’ boundaries. It comes across less as “I love dogs and hate cats” and more “I like animals that can’t say ‘no’ to me in a clear, direct way.”
