    not being nice to cats. So many people expect them to act like dogs then get hurt and say they hate cats.

    It’s honestly a red flag for me if someone says they hate cats because that means they can’t respect boundaries.

    also, being a Republican.

      I love cats and I don’t respect their boundaries. No cat butts will be left unpat, you furry reaper of doom

        I get what you mean but I suppose we both at least know what we’re getting into and respect the consequences of talking shit.

        I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately actually; I think I’m just naturally someone who needs spicy relationships. I’ve had people call me toxic but tbh my husband now that I’ve been with for five years total doesn’t feel that way because he gives just as good as he gets. You can’t go into the restaurant and order the 5 alarm chili then get mad at the cook. You ordered it; either eat the damn thing or admit you were wrong and if that was too hard for you maybe ya bitchass should order a mild next bout (but damn if the spice wasn’t just 🧑‍🍳🤌 yesterday morning…).

        I have a cat that I’ll bother sometimes (I want the beans) but for the most part she seeks out the interactions (I mesh well with highly social cats so they’re the ones the cat distribution system typically sends me). She’ll let me know when she’s done.

        footnote

        I’ve also been rewatching Inuyasha lately and like. First of all they’re teenagers in a horrible situation (not exactly relationship goals to begin with) but also anybody who thinks hojo would be better for kagome has no idea what they’re talking about. Kagome would skin hojo and devour his liver. They are not functioning on the same wavelength at all. The real adult pairing is Sessh/Kagura and if she’d lived we could have avoided like. ALL of the Sessh/Rin weirdness.

        OP didn’t say “dislike cats”, they said “not being nice to them.”

        If you are actually mean to them, I’d say that is a red flag. But ignoring them is fair.

        Same, cats are fine. Them crapping in my garden not so much. Cleaning a litterbox… not happening.

          I’ve been told I don’t hate dogs, because I treat them kindly but mostly try to ignore them. I find dogs incredibly annoying, but it’s not their fault and there is no reason they should suffer for my opinions.
