I just don't get it. HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE ANIMALS. Do you have to be like, the scroogest person on Earth?
They're stupid and smell bad and can only be taught human etiquette so much. I like my cats, but really. They like to claw things, leave a distinctive odor in your house, whine for food, shed everywhere, come home with infections from fighting other cats all week, etc.
You may argue its just cats that suck, but I had many golden retrievers growing up and dogs are far worse. Loud, obnoxious, prone to a myriad of parasites, hard to housebreak, the first year they chew everything in the house during the time they teeth, always seeking attention, leg humping, etc.
