    I don’t like cats, mainly for two reasons:

    1. I am allergic and they just make me feel bad on a physical level
    2. Cats, as any animals, require care, and responsible owners add it to the list of their burdens. It’s like constantly having a baby that never grows up - cats can wake you up in the middle of the night, force you to remove feces, etc.

    I, however, love people, and am far from being selfish or narcissistic. People around me often find me warm, comforting, and supportive.

      I don’t think they mean “people who wouldn’t have cats as pets”, there are tons of valid reasons not to want cats as pets, such as the two you described, and I wouldn’t say that you “don’t like cats” given those two reasons
