10 Problems Only People Who Hate Cats Understand

Not everyone online worships cats...

Love them or loathe them, cats certainly rule the internet. Like the Ancient Egyptians, we worship cats and seem absolutely fascinated by the felines, with countless pictures of them floating around the web, and some of them reaching unparalleled heights of fame.

Telling someone that you don€™t like cats evokes a bizarre and peculiar reaction €“ you are forced to justify your distain for the creatures, perhaps though allergies, fear or simply a lack of affection towards all animals. You are put on the spot and have to make an excuse for having a lack of interest which is perfectly rational, yet you are treated like a zealot for voicing your opinion.

Although the internet€™s love of cats makes non-lovers of the animals feel like a crazed minority, this is far from the case. There are plenty of people who find the small furry things equally as irritating, confusing and dull, but these voices are drowned out because the internet inundates every electronic device with pictures of the pets.

It€™s hard to scroll though social media without coming across memes and pictures of the little fur balls, but while many users laugh or find the images cute, those who dislike the animals are left bewildered as to why they have taken the internet by storm.

If you are one of the people left dazed and confused by how cats rule the digital world then look no further...here are ten problems only people like yourselves will understand.
