Is this how neuro-typicals see those with Autism? Is this how we appear to neuro-typicals? I’m at a total loss lmao.

            Cats are objectively the worst house pet and people with cats suffer from severe Stockholm syndrome. They are in an abusive relationship and in complete denial.

              I don’t even own a cat, but objectively speaking, they are extremely low maintenance compared to pretty much any other pet one could have. Is there a lot of other pets that generally take care of themselves and don’t need much more than food, a place to poop, and very occasional grooming? Pretty much every other pet I can think of needs some combination of a special enclosure, foods, grooming, exercice, socializing… Even dogs are a hell of a lot more work.

                While I think that poster is being a dick, I’m gonna make the argument that cats are basically equal to dogs, if not a bit more work. Dogs can shit outside without being destructive to native wildlife, and cats shit in a box that you have to regularly keep clean. If you get a lower energy dog, they only need a walk once or twice a week and yard time. A short-haired dog doesn’t really need regular grooming besides nails, which you often have to do for cats as well if they scratch everything but their post.

                Basically, I think it’s much of a muchness, and comes down way more to the individual creature and their personality.
