and yeah I do not care for cats. My wifes cat used to attack me all the time (still have scars). She said it was because I must be evil deep down, until it killed our bearded dragons and put the left overs in our sons crib for him to chew on....sorry it's gross but that left a bad taste in my mouth for cats.
You know in truth and reality (shhhh don't tell Pokey!) cats are not my fave for many of those same reasons. They are predators and I more don't like for people to just let them run around loose (again don't tell Pokey!) I feed a ton of wild birds and other wildlife and it really peeves me when they fall prey to the neighbors cats

When I used to do the subdivision living it irked me to go out the door in the morning to find cat prints all over my car, etc. But I would not say that I hate cats.
I hate that your cat did that but in his mind he was bringing your son a gift

We used to have gerbils that the entire family
adored so I like the rodents and reptiles too

Many people would be very surprised to see just how affectionate they can be
PS Our parrots give us gifts in the form of regurgitation
