For most cat lovers, it is genuinely difficult to understand how anyone could dislike cats. 

For those who just don’t like animals, it at least makes a little sense. However, there are plenty of people who dote on dogs or have a love for other critters who simply can’t muster up the enthusiasm for our feline friends. Cats have their downsides, but so do all domesticated animals. To single them out as not worthy of appreciation takes a particularly uninspired kind of hater.

We have to consider the evidence in their favor; cats can be so elegant, like having a member of royalty in the home. Yet, at the same time, they are masters of absurdity. Watching them fall from grace or let the goofy side out is an unparalleled feeling. They also come in a range of personalities, giving the intrepid cat lover plenty to discover with them. Much of the time, they are affectionate on their own terms, which makes their attention feel more meaningful and as if it is something that we have actually earned.

As if that wasn’t enough, the internet is riddled with instances of cats being adorable and funny. Even those who are indifferent to them in person can grudgingly appreciate the impact that they have had online. For those biased towards all things feline, that should be more than enough to melt the heart of an anti-cat person. The power of memes and cats together is a potent mixture when it comes to changing minds.
