The Fantasy of the Cat Lady Destroyed

Not surprised in the least. Having grown up with both cats and dogs, it was obvious to me since being a toddler that cats are just self-absorbed, manipulative pieces of shit. Dog's on the other hand are astoundingly loyal.
In fact, I'd argue that part of the attachment between cat ladys and their cats stems from similarities in personality. These types of women are damaged goods, and have an inability to love.
The similarities are endless:
Manipulative. Check.
No loyalty. Check
Will throw you under the bus in the minute. Check.
Will eat you (cats in death or women in divorce.) Check.
Will run away if given too much attention. Check.
Lounge around, and get fat. Check.
Lazy. Check.
Only nice when they want something. Check.
The list goes on and on...

I'm not much of an animal lover myself but I've always found cat lovers to be a different breed in a negative way from other animal lovers. They take being emotionally dependent on their pets to an extent that I don't really see with other pet owners. For example I had a roommate in college that was a cat lover and he would actually straight up talk to his cats at home via webcam from his dorm room computer. On my Facebook it's the cat owners that constantly flood their feed with pictures of their cats. I can understand wanting to have a profile pic of you and your pet but I don't really get the point of constantly posting new pics of your cat in 5-6 pic bursts or creating entire photo albums just for pics of it.
I've also noticed how caustic a lot of cat owners tend to be. I don't think it's a coincidence why the internet seems to be have a big obsession with cats. Internet culture tends to attract the type of people that are also cat owners: sarcastic, snarky, bitter, basement dweller type people. I'm willing to bet that a vast majority of Tumblr social-justice pansexual chicks and their fedora, Reddit user cousins that have pets most likely have cats as pets.

I fucking hate my friend's dogs always jumping and drooling on me.
One of his Rottweilers nipped at my ankles one time and ripped a hole in my $200 pants. Fucker.

I agree that American catwomen tend to be off-putting, but it seems that this is a localized phenomenon (Western). EE girls, particularly Russian, tend to love cats and in Russia virtually every household has one. My ex was Russian, 8/10, feminine as fuck, and guess what: cat lover. We had 2. I dont know, I guess cats have a bad rep in the West for some reason. I see a lot of dog worshipping here.

This thread is not a hate thread on cats. It's just pointing out that a cat is not reciprocating live to the cat ladies who adore them.

There does seem like there is a lot of cat hate, applying morally questionable traits like a lack of loyalty, manipulation etc etc to an animal that has had no reason to develop other traits.
Cats served the purpose of killing rodents back in the day, rodents that would carry disease and eat produce meant for humans. It's been theorised that this is why Egypt and other ancient societies worshipped cats. But today, that's not really necessary. Illl never understand why people like cats. I get why some people don't like dogs, they can be too much work, very annoying, destructive if not trained properly. But a cat? I just don't see the appeal. I guess they're cute, but fuck, tic tacs are cute, ugg boots are cute. Just get them. Maybe it's a projection of their vanity and narcissism? Can someone elaborate as to why people like cats?

While it's true that cats are less attached to their owners than dogs, don't have any illusions about dogs: a starving dog will devour your rotting corpse just as fast as any other animal.

The history of cats is that they came to us, and domesticated themselves as an evolutionary strategy because, even though they don't have as much "consciousness" or what ever you want to call it, as we do, they saw the connection between the mothering sound of a mewl and getting fed.
It's no surprise that car alarms sound like babies crying.

My opinion about cat ladies and their problems is not their election of cats. I just a tranference. They use cats like the kids they choose not to have. They choose to ignore their biological imperatives, so they found a re-enplacement. And not just with cats. Ther are "crazy ladys" that have those small freaky "rat dogs", or the ones obsesed with horses ( i knew one, a very old hag how treated her mare like the daughter she never had.
@Kimber: I can not talk for everyone. In my family we had both cats and dogs, but i found myself prefering cats. They are not so "needy" like dogs, but they were there when i needed them the most.

If house cats suddenly grew overnight they would start killing people for fun. You wouldn't see that behavior with dogs. I'm skeptical of people that love cats.
