I agree. I don't distrust people who are afraid of cats, because in that case I can believe they had a bad experience as a kid, even if they don't necessarily remember it. But people who actively hate cats usually hate that they aren't dogs and don't have the same need to please us and can't be controlled in the same way.

Those people don't like that human-cat relationships are give and take and people have to compromise with cats. Someone like that is probably going to be like that in other areas of their life too and insist on always being right and having their way. I just don't trust that kind of person.
