Cat haters genuinely creep me out and have almost always consistently been unpleasant people in general. Its not a perfect litmus test because I know some downright evil cat lovers too.
I like dogs for short stints but find them exhausting. I don’t really get this whole wanting a creature to be obsessed with you thing I find it very suffocating and off putting. I had some dogs I knew as puppies and visited often but eventually their enthusiasm just became too much, still loved the little rodent creatures though but I couldn’t even hide from them for 5 seconds just all over me for a solid hour before they would chill out.
Conversely my cat will sit at the door when i come home and then the second i am done taking my shoes off n shit pretends im not there and walks away. She does love a good roll around in whatever i was wearing though. My favourite thing that cats do is spend 10 minutes circling my lap and settling down only to get up the second i become a minor inconvenience of moving 1 millimetre in any direction
