Re: Cats and dogs

[anonymouslyyours]

There's a lot more exposure to cats and dogs than birds and chinchillas. A lot of people have been in living situations where they had to interact with animals they didn't like as well. Plus if there was a childhood incident that leaves a lasting impression.

I don't know how to explain it exactly but cats just put me on edge when they're around. But I like them on the Internet?

I'm sorry it upset you though.

Yeah, I think that's a big part of it. When I was young, I had two bad incidents involving dogs: one where I was knocked down and another where I was bitten. Naturally, I don't feel all that warmly toward them.

I'm sorry that happened to you. :(

And as a dog lover I'd like to say I think it's completely stupid when people on my "team" try and convince someone who had a traumatic experience to give dogs another chance by talking about how it's unfair to judge all dogs based on experiences with dogs who were mishandled. I don't know that's happened to you but I'm willing to bet it has. And I'm sorry. If you're uncomfortable and aren't interested in interacting with dogs that should be respected.

See, I can understand that. I just don't get the hate.

To me, hate is both a very strong word and a very taxing emotion. I can think of very few things that I actually hate -- and I certainly don't hate any animals, regardless of the experiences I've had with them.

Individual preferences make sense to me. Like, you don't want to have a cat, because cats aren't your thing for whatever reason? That's totally cool. Same for if you don't want to have a dog. But the idea that one would hate a cat or a dog, and as such decry any person who would willingly own one or the other, seems completely ridiculous.

Tonight, I came across someone who was saying that dogs are disgusting are are basically parasites and that anyone who owns one is stupid, and I was like, "...what?" What's the sense in indulging that sort of opinion? The fact that someone besides oneself has a certain type of pet, and is happy about it, shouldn't have any impact on one's own life. I guess it's just frustration over the "STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE" phenomenon.

Hyperbole gets attention and feels satisfying sometimes? Some people are really boring so they fixate on a "team" to give them an identity? People are shitty? Phobias?

Blaaaah, yeah.

You know how sometimes, you can logically get something, but then another part of you is like, "WHYYYYYYYYYYY?" I think that's essentially what this is, heh. And it's ironic, because the people who make me go "WHYYYY" are those who are foregoing logic in favor of the part of themselves that goes "WHYYYY."

It's reflexive! Woo! Good times.
