People who don't like cats.

I've noticed a correlation between people who don't like cats and having narcissistic or selfish tendencies. Could be just an impression but that's how I feel.

Oh boy, does this also hold for people who don't like any pets?

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

I don't like cats, mainly for two reasons:

  1. I am allergic and they just make me feel bad on a physical level
  2. Cats, as any animals, require care, and responsible owners add it to the list of their burdens. It's like constantly having a baby that never grows up - cats can wake you up in the middle of the night, force you to remove feces, etc.

I, however, love people, and am far from being selfish or narcissistic. People around me often find me warm, comforting, and supportive.

Huh, I kinda feel the opposite. You need (or at least SHOULD) be very attentive to a pup. Dogs, in general, tend to crave/require more attention. Cats are more hands-off, so they often attract the kinda people who want a pet for the sake of having a pet - which tend to be narcissistic types.*

*not true of all cat people

Interesting. My reasoning is that narcissistic people crave attention, which cats may not give so overtly as a dog. Basically for a dog, a person is a god and some people love that kind of relationship.

In my experience dog owners often like to control another being, cat owners like to just let others be.

So people who don't like cats are cats
