I've been watching a dog adoption show and like every time there is a straight cis family looking for a dog the husband will inevitably pipe up and loudly declare that he wants a large, male dog. They don't want a small dog, because small dogs are "yappy, and more of an accessory than a 'real' dog"
Fuck these guys, all dogs are good. Even ones that look like this :scared: :egg-dog:
But also please adopt your pets from a rescue. All dogs derserve love and just because someone gave their tiny dog a sweater doesn't mean they think they're an item. Some dogs love dressing up. :comrade-doggo:
The people who are weird about cats are the ones who are like "No, cat's are mean and can't be your friend"
Usually the same people who hate small dogs.
That whole meme about how thinking cats are mean and attacky is a good measure of someone's lack of understanding of consent

Weirdly my cats are the inverse: they're extremely tolerant of being picked up and squeezed, but understand the clear boundaries of their space and where they're not supposed to go, and will simply walk out if told to (although they do have to be told, and will attempt to sneak in otherwise).
At 7:30 this morning my roommate’s cat spring boarded off her chest waking her up
Sounds like a person who have never been friends with a cat.
(My guess is trying to hug friends family cats when they were kids and getting scratched when the cat tries to get away or something. idk)
Yeah as someone that grew up with cats I never understood peoples perception of them. Thankfully the internet has kind of helped people realise they're lovable goobers :party-cat:
My family was solidly a dog family growing up. I got a cat at university and now the whole family has cats (and the occasional dog).
Actually, we had no pets until I was about 15, and neither did any of my friends at school. Very petless existence, except for this one alcoholic old lady down the road who let us play with her silky terrier.
