        And it goes both ways. Lots of dogs will run up and jump on you, lick you, ram their nose into your crotch, etc. Most cats won’t do anything they might be considered intrusive unless you’ve put quite a bit of effort into convincing them it’s ok.

      Animals in general, lots are cute and innocent

      Maybe it’s because cars are more common so you’re more likely to know one, and also that they show up online a lot more

      When you ask someone “what’s your favourite animal” it’s usually not “cats”, but people like them enough

      Personally I don’t want to have some animal jumping around on my furniture, eating my (potentially harmful) plants, kicking down stuff, sleeping on my face at night.

      But I like them … at someone elses home.

      Not sure if you’re serious.

      They kill birds. For every responsible cat owner there are a dozen who pretend it’s fine.

      Imagine having a pet that preys on native animals. I would be incredibly ashamed.

      They should be grandfathered in Australia, as in no new kittens. A lot of councils are moving towards zero tolerance for cats outside. Most owners can’t afford enclosures so they’re SOL.
