Cats are creatures that take NO shit, and never tolerate boundary stomping, and only allow you to pet them if they want it. That's why so many men complain about cats biting, clawing, yowling, etc at their asses. Or men that say cats/dogs/whatever animal hates them.

  1. Learning the basics of animal body language is always a must if you deal with animals. if you don't know, you'll ask the owner how to behave around the animal, or ask to pet and all that. That's admitting ignorance and humility, thing LOTS of LVM will NOT admit as it hurts the massive oversized ego. Not doing those basic precautions (Precautions that are taught at elementary school, it's fucking NOT rocket science, and are easily googleable) also demonstrates a lack of respect towards the animal as a being.
  2. You don't want your pet to feel uncomfortable, obviously so you watch out for the body signals that show the animal is not comfortable, and you retire whatever you were doing to the animal. If the animal feels its body signals aren't respected, it might start hissing, growling, barking, yowling, biting, clawing, slapping, running away, avoiding you in the future, etc. That's the animal establishing boundaries. And it expects you to respect them, else there's consequences. There's no second chances. Some men simply disregard the warnings, saying the animal is cute or that it's being silly and whatever. Them disregarding a helpless animal's feelings is a RED FLAG. Animals can be overwhelmed or not like something and that's fully in their rights to refuse further interactions. Cats in particular are EASILY overwhelmed, and signal it asap.
  3. Some men even use animals as a way to assert their domination on them. They ask obedience, obedience, obedience, and might use extreme methods if they don't obtain obedience, like using whips, spanking, forcing movements (pushing down forcefully the butt if the dog doesn't wants to sit, etc), pulling forcefully a dog's paw as if it was a human hand, because the dog didn't want to come, and so on. Dogs tolerate so much more of that abusive treatment, but cats REALLY don't. So a man might come across a cat, try to assert dominance and ignore the cat's signals and desires, not be successful, then declare he dislikes cats or that cats dislike him.

How a man acts around vulnerable creatures, or creatures that aren't as strong as he is, may indicate what kind of man he is. The way he behaves, acts towards, says to, thinks of the animal, everything should be taken into consideration.

Before you come to my DMs saying I am writing bullshit or whatever and that the abuse examples I've listed are bullshit, know that EVERY single one of those I listed actually occurred before my very eyes, in real life, BY SCROTES. Every time I've seen a man disregard a dog's/cat's body signals, including my ex, turned out to be LV/NV. There's a definite correlation that fully justifies this post.
