Does anyone understand the gut level hatred so many men seem to have for cats? Some me will go out of their way to be mean to a cat. Former Marine (male) here- some of my best friends are cats. I have a 'special needs' kitty that I got from the pound some years ago conked out in the living room at the moment. Most of my male friends are fond of cats in particular, or like animals generally.

They are bad people, IMHO. A persons true nature is revealed by how they treat cats and dogs. Or people that they don't HAVE to be nice to, like waitstaff or subordinates at work.

I suspect old Sigmund Freud knew or would have had an opinion. He had some deep insights into the weird hatreds and fears people sometimes had.

You are absolutely right. My cat keeps me sane and when things get really bad I have a guilty pleasure ; a subscription to Mad Magazine

They are insecure of their own manhood - threatened by the independance of a cat, something they can never control.
That and their own small testicles....

Navy here and I feel same inre cats...and same as with friends.
I think people who would tend to be control freaks or bullies in general don’t like cats because the independence of the cat ‘challenges’ their manhood etc....

There is nothing wrong with a cat once he/she finds out who is the boss.
You should admit he/she is in charge as soon as possible, as it will save a lot of ‘playful nips and scratches’.
