There are probably a few reasons: They may have an allergy, or they think their rats, the fur from them go on their black cloths, they never stop meowing, they kill mice and other small animals, they can tear up your furniture (if have no other place to scratch).

Answer:

Some people don't like cats, and other people like cats very much. Generally people like dogs more than cats because some people think that cats (and a few cats are) are much less communicative to persons than dogs. By "communicative" I meant facial expressions of dogs and cats. Another reason is that intact cats are too noisy when fighting for mates, and this makes people nervous. But cats as pets are quiet and lovely and many love fuss and attention.

Answer:

Sadly, some people believe many stereotypes and myths around cats such as "cats smother the life out of infants" without taking the time to research the reason why these myths start. Some people just prefer dogs to cats. Others may have had a bad experience with cats, which is why they do not like them now. There many reasons why some people do not like cats.

Compared to dogs, cats are considerably easy to care for. They are easily trained to use a litter box, which unfortunately must be scooped daily. However, many brands of cat litter overpower the smell and make it less unpleasant. They don't need to be bathed for the most part, since they "clean" themselves with their tongue. Cats aren't very likely to ruin furniture, and cats can be trained to an owner's liking, though each has it's own personality and have natural tendencies to act a certain way. It is important if you have other pets to slowly introduce the cat into the household so they are used to each other. If you have babies or small children, you may wish to de-claw your cat just in case. Male cats become much more gentle when they have been neutered. Cats may be easier to take care of than some pets, but they definitely take more work than others. Be sure you are prepared to take the responsibility to properly care for a pet before getting one!

ANSWER 1


Every living being has a right to freedom and respect.


A pet's life is totally controlled by its master. The pet cannot decide when and what to eat, where to sleep, when and with whom to have sex, how to live. The master treats the pet - an adult, sane animal - as inferior and subordinate. Even with the best intentions, a master is still a master, controlling the pet absolutely, deciding everything, from food, housing, medication, to behaviour, frequently sterilizing the animal "for its own good" (and the humans' convenience) and more. Masters enjoy pets and fulfill their own sentimental needs and wishes, but do not take the pet's needs and wishes into account. Pet's can not "decide" to live with humans, because they cannot possibly understand the signification of this, nor are they given any choice.


Any person who truly respects animals ought not to have pets.


ANSWER 2

Being a cat lover myself I am inclined to say that you have been misguided, cats can potentially make wonderful, loving family pets but like any animal it is up to the owner to keep their pet happy and family friendly. Here may be one reason cats have such a negative reputation; Cats, being naturally solitary animals, may exhibit territorial and anti-social behaviors if not properly socialized and handled from a young age. Owners who buy or adopt a cat expecting an animal with no social needs and who think cats don't need or want attention will end up with just that, an unfriendly, territorial, and likely aggressive feline. Cats being bad pets is simply a matter of the owner knowing what kind of commitment they're getting into.
