I don't like cats either. A friend of mine has a cat and while I pet it, the little as*hole randomly strikes with its paw with nails out directly to my face - like dafuq is wrong with that little piece of sh*t? One second it's calm and the other one it can blind you -.- not to mention how anoying they are when there is food on the table - like every f*cking time we are moving the cat out of the table and that little arse finds a way to STEAL some of the food... I have a Red eared slider turtle and it is the most harmless and cute animal I'v ever had so far /previously I owned hamster, dog, parrots, fishes and a rabbit... So far the turtle requires so little attention and he is so calm and peaceful - he is always happy to see me when I come near the water tank and even if I get him out of it he can't scratch me or bite or run away from me lol Anyway as far as it goes I think I will prefer any other animal but a heartless cat - they are cute when they are babies, but when they grow they don't give a sh*t about you...
