Tangential aside, which amused me to remember. My old-fashioned, rural (southern US) grandmother used to tell me to never trust a man who didn’t like cats, because he would dislike a woman for the same reasons. (Barring allergies)

- analog31 4y agoI'm talking about the house. I can always tell when I enter a house with cats.
- NonNefarious 4y agoThat's down to lax caretaking, and yes I've smelt it too. But my house has not a whiff of anything untoward, unless winds force air down the chimney and you can smell a bit of smoke. You will never smell anything cat-related (and yes there's a cat).
- odiroot 4y agoThat's a weird prejudice. I understand if it was about dogs, but there's plenty of reasons not to like cats.
- zeroonetwothree 4y agoThere’s plenty of reasons not to like dogs as well.
- ghaff 4y agoHonestly, it's not even necessarily about not liking dogs. It's about "I'm OK with dogs but that means all our plans would have to fit into his having a dog." Nothing wrong with that, but implication of a lot more buy-in than with a cat generally.
- guelo 4y agoAre there not plenty of reasons not to like women? (Also men but that's offtopic)
- decebalus1 4y agoIronically you're calling out a weird prejudice by showing your own weird prejudice
