10 Problems Only People Who Hate Cats Understand

1. You've Come Up With So Many Excuses To Avoid Them

You€™ve perfected the art of making excuses to stay away from cats. These range from falsely claiming you are allergic so that you can stay away from them, to conjuring up fictitious commitments in order to avoid the satanic pet. Not liking cats turns you into a pathological liar €“ you have to remember which of your friends think that you are allergic to them, and you have to make sure you don€™t lie and say you are going to the same uncle€™s birthday party too often. It isn€™t easy to balance this many lies all at the same time, but through plenty of years of practice you have managed to fine tune this skill. You obviously don€™t avoid seeing friends because of cats €“ but you will try anything to limit your exposure to the animals. Maybe your €˜allergy€™ means that you can deal with the cat for an hour or two, but after this time has elapsed you will pretend to sneeze until the owner shuts the cat out of the room. Or you might stay at the party of a cat owner for a bit less time than you wanted to because some hellish cat is constantly scratching you. These little lies don't mean you are intentionally deceiving your friends - surely it is better to say you are allergic rather than telling them that you can't stand their poorly behaved animal, and that you would rather leave early than endure more time with the torturous pet.
