I know that always found Trump's unwillingness to have a pet as an classic example of how he was a broken person.

and are more naturally "suck ups," for lack of a better term. Cats are not; you have to understand them and their body language and learn how to communicate on their terms. That's why liberals are far more likely to be cat people, and why Republicans often hate cats but not dogs.

Cat guys are the absolute best. They are generally funnier and more secure in their own sense of self and in their "masculinity," however they choose to express it. Most of them are the opposite of the "toxic masculinity" types. I married a cat guy. The GOP hates us cat people, and Republicans often hate cats, because they think they are entitled to control their "lessers," and the kitties ain't playin' their game. (Dogs, who evolved to be more naturally obsequious and subservient to their pack leader "masters," usually will though, and that's why Republicans are far more likely to own dogs than cats).

In short, cat haters are utter assholes.
