Cats are shit ass animals
So irrational to genuinely dislike an entire species of anything lol. Well, except humans. I think that's fair.
So you don't dislike mosquitoes? Wasps? Scorpions maybe?
I'm not a fan but I know they're just trying to survive and they're all pretty easy for me to avoid. Wasps especially are pollinators in a lot of places and almost everyone has an important role in the ecosystem. No there aren't any species of animals that I would dedicate any time to hating even if they can be jerks sometimes
I know every animal has a niche but that doesn't stop me from getting annoyed when I see them.
Lots are, but I think cats are very misunderstood animals. Both by owners and haters.
They're very simple creatures, they're not cunning, they don't think they own you or judge you, and they're not assholes on purpose, they're just really simple-minded. Also they don't "ignore" people or their owner on purpose, it's just that the abstract concept of a "command" or an "order" fly over their head completely. That being said, cats are social as hell, and if you're ok with having basically a big dumb cuddly creature dumber than a rat roam your house in exchange for love, cats are okay.
Dogs are
I have witnessed far more dogs with shitty asses.
Dogs are worse in my own experience (more needy, more expensive, more smelly, etc). I still like both though.
