In defense of cats against anti-cat people

My wife and I have five cats.

i like cat but they are domestic animals the scotish wild cat has all but gone as a resolute of breeding with the domestic cat but todays cats are a resolute of us just like dogs

I said this on your youtube channel, but I'm surprised you consider yourself an introvert. You seem pretty much an extrovert.

Every time you speak im reminded of DuneWave. You should totally record a CatWave with this speech right here. Im not even joking

These are great comments guys... lol, I may do a follow up video soon ... in defense of cats part 2!

You say that cats live as equals while dogs live in hierarchies, and you prefer an egalitarian life. It would be interesting to hear you explore this in detail. I see you as a dominant person. Your personality is intense and draws followers, that’s why you have a media career. Perhaps your inner circle is egalitarian, but your overall place in wider society is extremely hierarchical, with you as a kind of digital demigoddess worshipped from afar by your audience. Also, you style yourself as a teacher and queenpin, understandably so, but this again suggests a need to be a leader and impose your ideas and creativity on others. That is not necessarily bad, but it is the opposite of your stated desire to live a life among equals. Lastly, cats do live in hierarchies in the wild and in households with multiple cats.

Why so many anti cat people? Cuz all the cat people never shut up about their cats lol

I love the Synth Wave music at the start of your videos by the way

Cat purr's are awesome! But head butts are also awesome!

i love it when vegans kill their cats by trying to make them vegan.

Cats are Jerk and Dogs are Dumb, but I love them all.

Cats definitely have more of a personal autonomy. Important to note that both they can scale fences to roam the neighborhood and they come back for feed. As far as dog's needing to be walked, it seems that small dogs don't require regular walking while larger dogs do actually need that dedicated exertion. So in other words, if you find a small dog that isn't hyper and needy you're good, but otherwise they're gonna have exercise imperatives.

You are absolutely on point with this!

I don't understand the rivalry between owners of cats and dogs. We had cats for 10 years and it was sweet. After they died, we embarked upon 10 years of the dog life, and that's just as nice in its own way. Overlapping between the dogs and cats, we also had some Muscovy ducks and believe it or not, they were super affectionate and responsive, especially the male. He would waddle to the gate when he heard the family car, wagging his duck tail like a dog, waiting for pats. He even tried to join in on ball games in the yard. Animals have more going on than we give them credit for.

I find dogs are usually slobbery, disgusting and rambunctious (I can't wait to wipe my nose on you!). Cats may not be slobbery but they can still be disgusting (hairballs, puke, litterboxes, and I can't wait to sneeze on you!) and are usually a pain in the ass clawing up every fucking thing including you. Both species think I'm the best, get on me constantly, demand frequent play time, and follow me around until I chase them off. No more animals for me. I need a break.

Thank you so very much for doing a segment on Cat Love. They are just the best...I love all animals. I work from home mostly...planning table top gaming conventions...so I have my two catleagues who provide marvelous company! I would miss them terribly if they were not around to let me know when it's time to take a break! :-)

I'd prefer to have a dog as a pet personally, but I love all animals. My grandma had cats as pets. She'd take in one stray and one stray only and it was always the most unfriendly animal with no interest or tolerance for human contact of any kind. The cat would come by to be fed and just ghost everyone the rest of the time, hiding somewhere. One time she put the cat in her lap to pet her and the cat scratched her.

Love that cats are masters in the fine art of sleeping 😴

I love cats <33

So I’m not crazy about cats. But when I can borrow a cat from a neighbor, I really like to feel it purr. That is truly amazing. Maybe I can borrow beans for an afternoon someday? I don’t mean take him anywhere. Just hang out around the studio.

Some cats are abusive. I’ve had 2 cats over the years that really hated me but would not run away. One had lots of extremely abusive behavior such as once he shit on my pillow and stood there and dare d me to do anything about it. I told him I wouldn’t feed him any more and to get out. I put him out, wouldn’t let him back in, didn’t feed him. He wouldn’t run away. He would attack me when I left my house and after a while I had to start making a mad dash for my car. So I decided rather than kill the cat, I would just move. So I moved to New Orleans. And that’s where it all started.

preach it sister! in response to some, cats will bite you when you mess with them? how often when you're just minding your own business riding your bike or walking with your child or just have a hat or beard or walking your pet does a cat run out and attack you? one of my relatives had an old little dog that was just walking in front of a younger dog and the younger dog just attacked it and killed it. oh and cats dont send people to the hospital because THEY are alergic to them. how is that the cats fault? anyway yeah. viva la cats!

Just became a patron last night. This 👏🏼 Is 👏🏼 What 👏🏼 I 👏🏼 Came 👏🏼 Here 👏🏼 For

Cats are chill. They don't need constant attention. :)))

I'm a dog guy. I just don't trust cats. One minute you are petting them next minute, boom, claws digging in.

15 minutes. I’m about to buckle up for this ride.
