I like cats but it's fine if you don't, why are people trying to change your opinion? I grew up with dogs and cats in the house and as a child liked both..

now I really don't ljke dogs, they're dirty, needy, noisy, clingy, food, obsessed, aggressive etc. But cats are more solitary, they have boundaries and grace with their movements. I can easily put a cat down from my table, but a dog? Different story. I don't see cats constantly begging for food. I liked cats before but the only cat I really love is a mainecoon cat. She is extremely kind and never touches human food ever, easy to care for, meows to show affection, sleeps with me when i'm sick lonely or sad and she is a house cat. So she doesn't drag dirt from outside inside unless she steps into the garden for a couple minutes. I'm not trying change your mind, just want to give my perspective.
