My 11pm thought of the day: people who hate cats are just literally emotionally unintelligent and unfit for relationships. Forming a bond with a cat and getting it to like you is really not hard, it just requires patience and gentleness. They won’t love you unconditionally like a dog will, they need time to warm up to you and eventually trust you. Most people who don’t like cats seem to be like that because they think cats are jerks and don’t like them “for no reason.” There’s always a reason and most of the time if a cat doesn’t like you it’s your fault. Any loud, quick, or sudden movements/gestures/vocal inflections will scare a cat so it’s really important to be slow and gentle with them. You also need to approach them very slowly and let them sniff your hand before you try and pet them. This is very very simple and is most of what it takes already to bond with a cat. Cats are inherently pretty wary of people so for some it may take some time for them to even feel comfortable being near you. This is normal. If a cat is continuously aggressive no matter what you do then this is not normal and a behavioral issue not caused by you but possibly from their experiences with another human. Or it is just a fearful little guy. However in normal circumstances it is very easy to get a cat to like you and if you don’t even have the patience and selflessness for that then how can you really be trusted to have a loving and fulfilling relationship with someone else? I have no idea where I’m going with this but ultimately in conclusion etc if you can’t form a bond with even a cat then you’re pretty dumb ngl.
