They don't love you.
You make this sound like a bad thing. It should be enough to have an animal just for the sheer joy of enhancing it's life. If you need love, affection or loyalty in return, there's something sadly lacking in the human relationships in your life.

I utterly fail to comprehend how anyone can "hate" any animal?
Something fundamentally wrong with your psyche if you do.

Agree. I'm not very keen on certain creatures, but no hate. I open windows to left wasps out, because I wouldn't want to kill it. Something fundamentally wrong with your psyche if you do.

I get that they make good pets and good companion animals for people who might be on their own but they are also very accomplished hunters, killing tens of millions of small animals each year in the U.K. Not just mice and rats but shrews, voles, birds, basicly anything smaller than they are, often slowly...or they just maim them then play with then until they get bored.
If I invented some sort of garden ornament which looked nice but killed or maimed 20 random small animals including songbirds a months I’d have crowds of pitchfork and daily mail waving outraged middle class people at my door shouting for it to be banned, yet people are not bothered in the slightest that thier little cute cat does the same. Because they don’t see most of the carnage they put it out of their minds or are convinced their little bundle of spite and claws doesn’t do such things.

Dogs do cause problems worrying farm animals and chasing wildlife. A farmer is quite within his rights to shoot a dog chasing his sheep. I'm sure a cat owner would get quite upset if his pet was shot whilst hunting birds in the neighbours garden.
By all means have a cat, they make great pets, but keep it inside or if you must let it out try to confine it within your own garden.

It can't be denied that one pleasurable side effect of cat ownership is that Mistress Fluffymeister's errant spoor Edited by nute on Friday 2nd August 14:55
make, mild mannered people with nice lawns and borders turn into Jack Nicholson in The Shining.
Had a healthy hatred of cats and therefore cat people long before my dislike of dogs developed. In fact it's one of the reasons I could still consider dog ownership that being to keep the bloody things out of my garden.
I'd have a cat but it would have to meet this criteria - be a mean, double hard cat that will happily terrorise all other cats in the neighbourhood, steal their food, and do massive poos in their owners gardens.

They lick their own arse and eat roadkill.
And people let these creatures in to their homes?
Mine drops live rodents on my face while I am sleeping at 3am. And brings live rats in then runs away, leaving us running around like screaming idiots trying to catch them with tupperware boxes.They lick their own arse and eat roadkill.

I gave him his monthly spot-on tick and flea treatment the other day, back of the neck. He has been in a bad mood with me ever since - I'm gutted!

I don't hate any animals, i dislike spiders, but i won't kill them, glass over the top & put outside.
I always grew up with cats & dogs, so when i mentioned to the oh i wanted to get a puppy, we compromised on 2 cats.
They're a pain in the ass, but they're hilarious, they're almost 12 months old.
One likes catching spiders & various insects, the other brought a live bird in the other day, but wouldn't kill it.
My parents cat will regularly bring in all manner of animals varying from a mole/mouse up to a rabbit or a bird, including slow worms & everything else in between, their old cat had brought in all of the above, as well as rats, squirrels & even a stoat.

30 seconds after this picture was taken the bird flew off - I was gobsmacked - best playing dead I've ever witnessed 
You could post that picture on this threadhttps://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
I think it's a greenfinch, btw.
