Ive always had a running theory that people who dislike cats also have a secret inability to accept the autonomy of women. Like, the whole point of a cat is that they can choose their own terms. They aren't going to be some weird fucking animal version of a tradwife like dogs kinda are. And hey im not talking ill on dogs, I love most animals except geese. FUCK GEESE.

As for cats being annoying? Cats run around and play fighting/playing, because that's them training for hunting. If they had another cat around they'd both just practice with each other (assuming they don't hate each other). Knocking shit off shelves is them learning how the physics of this world works, which is kinda rad, until you start reinforcing the behavior by giving them unintentional attention every time they do it. Cats are rad.

Also the people who post this kinda shit never realize that you can absolutely train your cat. I'm still in the process of clicker training a tortie I adopted last year to fetch balls, mainly because she loves treats but also because she already likes running after balls when I throw them. It's gonna be sick once she retreives the balls back to me so I can remain doing whatever I'm doing while she works out more energy doing what she already loves.
