    I think it depends on your stance towards authoritarianism. Dogs follow commands, cats do not.

      Cats can absolutely follow commands. Tell your cat “watch out” as you sit near them for a week. Then just say it one day and watch as they get up.

      It’s just a different learning and motivation system than dogs.

      I legitimately think this is more true than anyone is ready to deal with. Also, every cat hating person I’ve known has been conservative for whatever reason. I always get the impression from them that they don’t like cats because they can’t be in total control. And then I occasionally get the feeling they don’t like cats because they’re intimidated by their superior intellect.
