    I get it’s a joke, but I hear it so much, it makes me question what some of y’all are doing to your cats that this is the go-to joke.

    I’ve owned a lot of cats, as have my friends and family. They’re all chill, and most open to affection. It’s very rare to find one of these “Satan” cats. I legitimately can’t keep my cats off me. I almost wish they hated me sometimes because their constant badgering for pets can get a little annoying.

      Depends on how they were trained, if they aren’t actively used to lots of human touch early on the default mode for cats is “pets on my schedule, if I feel like it”.

      I don’t… think it’s bad? Such cats aren’t unhappy or evil, they just don’t crave affection which kinda makes sense for a barely domesticated species whose wild counterpart is non-social. Raising a cat to be cuddly definitely goes against its innate instincts.
