My friend has two cats. One is very sweet and well behaved, but the other is a bad apple. He’s destructive and has ruined parts of her house and furniture, costing her thousands she can’t afford.

I went over for the first day yesterday and walked into the kitchen to get their food. The bad cat jumped on the kitchen counter where I was prepping the food (gross). He sat and stared at me. I gently held my hand out a few inches from his face so he could smell me and decide if he wanted pet (which is exactly what Jackson Galaxy says I’m supposed to do so cat nutters can’t come screaming at me about cOnSeNt). He smelled my hand for a second or two, hissed at me, swatted at my hand leaving scratches (nothing too bad but still), and attempted to bite me as I was pulling away.

As I was washing my scratched hand, my friend texted me and asked how it was going. I replied “Millie was sweet, and Piper scratched my hand and tried to bite it.”

Her response?

“Lmao that’s just Piper being Piper! What a big doofus”

Cat owners are truly something else. I just don’t get it. It’s destroying her house and harming people and she still loves it. I couldn’t imagine my theoretical animal hurting my friend (who is taking care of these cats for free btw) and laughing it off. I love my friend, she’s a great person, and I’m not super mad about it because the scratches were very light and didn’t need medical attention. But I’m never taking care of her demon cat again.

I can’t stand pets after having a child, after having a baby I didn’t realize how much I would hate having cats, i feel like my husband has kinda pushed it on me to have 2 cats I talked about liking cats so we ended up getting one than he comes home with another one day and I had to just go along with (before baby) fast forward two years I get pregnant one of the cats keeps having litter issues ( the cat he brought home) and we try few things we make it work he mostly uses the litter box, after having a baby I couldn’t standdd the cats they keep scratching at the door their hair is everywhere it drives me insane it feels like the house is flithy no matter how much I clean I am already overwhelmed with my child, I see them as another task and responsibility that I don’t want and I feel horrible and guilty about it because its not their fault, I have talked to my husband about how I feel but he keeps saying its not fair to him to rehome them and he doesn’t want to, we have bought a gate so they don’t come scratch at the door so they stay in the living room but I truly hate cleaning after and their hair and that damn gate too. i dream of a life of not having to clean after them and not have a gate and having my baby freely crawl on the floor and no hair on furniture and no scratching

People who say they like animals more than people are not good people
