I've just been reading another sad thread on 'Crossing the Bridge' where another member tells of people deliberately running over cats. I've often wondered why some people hate cats so much. Of course there are people that hate/scared of dogs, snakes etc. but not with quite the same venom as the cat haters (my anecdotal belief). Some have been badly bitten by dogs and are mentally scarred so possibly a reason to hate them but cats? Apart from scratches and minor bites I haven't heard of a domestic cat savaging anyone to death (I maybe wrong) You'd think more people would passionately hate dogs more that cats.
Obviously this site is biased (rightly so) and cats are beautiful creatures as we all agree but where does such cat hate derive? I've also witnessed drivers aim at cats. I once saw a cat run over by a car that didn't stop AND the two following vehicles finished the job also without stopping. I was traumatised at the time and simply couldn't believe my eyes. The scum that did this appeared to be grinning. I'd like to meet them in a dark alleyway one night.
Why?
