If this had been in a pet store, I might have sort of understood the cat lovin' customer's reaction because the cat-non-lovin' might have implied less than stellar service when it comes to cats and cat related products, but since it was a grocery, who cares how the vendor feels about cats or dogs? Methinks the upset customer has a case of the old world-around-her-revolviritis, which is internet-infectious because internetnoodles caught it pretty bad.

Yeah really. The fact that the woman took an innocuous comment and turned it into something personal, it was made perfectly clear that she overreacted.

Also comparing cats with gays and black people is a bad analogy. Publicly stating that you hate blacks would surely get you fired from a job. Not like cats on the other hand, sure as hell won't, especially since they're not likely to do any shopping at any store.

I have found that with people who hate cats they are more then happy to injure cats and have no remorse over a dead cat.

*facepalm* Yes, clearly every person who dislikes cats wants to kill them. That's why my Nana took a knife to the cat when it rubbed against her. Who wants to guess this person has "found" this information through a book on serial killers instead of actually ever speaking to someone who hates cats?

You know, I love animals more than your average person, but I just get all sad when someone else doesn't. Unless it's my Nana -- then I get annoyed. But she's my grandma, and annoying anyway, sooo...

	Though the homophobia isn't really that far off the mark--in both cases, it's a lifestyle choice that's being hated on. Except most gay people wouldn't call it a choice, and liking cats is not a lifestyle and they're nothing remotely similar and COMPARISONS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOODNIGHT! (Reply to this)(Thread)

What is it with some people that everyone has to validate their choices - their likes and dislikes. To each his/her own I always say. So some random stranger doesn't like your pet of choice - what is it to you? As been said, if it was someone you had deal with in the course of caring for your pet - the pet store, the vet, or something then yeah, it could be a problem. But a random stranger?

I wonder what some of those people would say about someone like me, who does not hate cats, but is allergic to them. They literally make me sick...not deathly ill, but I am pretty miserable until I can away form the cat/cats and take a good shower to get rid of the dander. My solution to this is as much as possible to stay away from cats and to limit my time in the house of people who have cats.

Ooh, a wank I was (sort of) involved in! You know, until I decided that beating my head against the wall of

internetnoodles's stupidity wasn't worth it.

And the whole "replace 'cats' with 'blacks' or 'gays'" insanity. Because yes, saying you hate cats is exactly the same as being HOMOPHOBIC and RACIST. Because CATS ARE TOTALLY THE SAME AS PEOPLE. Failsplosion, all around there.

Now at first, when I saw that people were linguistically equating groups of people with cats, I thought that was pretty offensive. But after giving it some thought, I've realized that there's at least one exception; one instance in which I'm willing to allow myself to be considered a stand-in for a housepet.

So if any of you ladies need a "cat" to pose with for Cats'n'Racks, I just want you to know I'm available.
