I’ve been saying a lot of nasty things on this blog about my roommate’s cat MonkeyBunny. And some misguided readers—readers who don’t even know MonkeyBunny—have jumped to the feline’s defense. Well, cat apologists, maybe you’d change your tune if you saw a photo of the cat you’re defending.
Take a good look.
I challenge you to look me in the eye and tell me with a straight face that MonkeyBunny isn’t the cockiest, most judgmental, most condescending animal you’ve ever seen.
You can’t do it, can you?
When discussing my views on cats, cat apologists often say things to me like, “If you only met my cat you’d change your opinion about them.”
I say, “Okay, what’s so great about your cat?”
Here are some common responses:
-She watches TV with me.
-She doesn’t mind when you pet her.
-You can snuggle with her.
-She never claws.
Isn’t it interesting that even the most strident cat apologists most like their feline friends when they’re acting like dogs? Is this not a de facto admission that dogs are better than cats?
MonkeyBunny never acts like a dog, by the way.
I hate that cat.
