    Most cats don't scare me in the least. I'm not a fan of psycho kitties of course, but there are mean psycho dogs, rabbits and even crazy little psycho hamsters. Animals are individuals just like people. The average cat is a pretty cool customer!

    Cats are funny, fluffy things. They rarely attack and only attack if you provoke them a lot. I've worn my cat as a hat and she's only been slightly annoyed by it. Cats are awesome.
    And they purr!

    Cats won't attack you unless you provoke them

    Big cats have instinct.
    They thin the herd
    If you are attacked.
    It's you, not the cat.

    Cats have different personalities. Some are friendly and some not. The ones that aren't friendly will avoid you.

    Oh, okay. Well, I always thought people in Egypt loved cats? Cats are mysterious and worthy of respect. I can't imagine being afraid of a random cat that isn't acting mean.

    Stray dogs and cats really just need veterinary care and to be adopted by a loving forever home. It's not their fault that they have no homes. People should spay and neuter their pets! The only dogs and cats that shouldn't be spayed or neutered are those who are champion purebreds that are being shown and bred by reputable breeders.

    My Siamese cat is sitting on my chest, and he's right up in my face at this very moment!

    It’s normal to fear animals, some people are scared of them while some aren’t. It’s normal.

  • I used to have a very strong fear of cats, but when you put yourself out of your comfort zone and confront your fears, you understand that not every cat will hurt you. It's similar to having social anxiety and thinking that everyone is judging you, and then when you confront this fear you see that most people are just getting on with their own business
