Reply to comment by MantraMan97 in The fact that Cats are far more dangerous than Wolf Spiders, yet we love them far more and are far less afraid of them, says a lot about how humans value physical appearance in creatures by Run_MCID37
people only hate cats because they don't blindly love everyone and they need personal space. I bet you wouldn't like it if giants constantly tried to pick you up or wouldn't stop touching you even when you had had enough. I don't blame cats for their behavior. it's part of their charm.

It's not hatred. It's a statement of fact. I love cats and would never wish harm on one, but I also acknowledge that the only reason it isn't trying to bat me around for a few hours before it might eat my half dead mangle is that it's jaw is too narrow for my neck. Plus, domestic house cats are responsible for the extinction of no less than 2 species of Lizard, 21 mammals, and 40 birds. You can't really call them benevolent creatures. They might show affection and again, make a pleasing noise every now and then, but that glamour makes people forget the above mentioned facts. Because people at heart want to love and see the best in everything, and don't like to remember bad things. Even sometimes the would be predators.
To further my previous quote, "Style. That's all anyone remembers."
