Right? These comments are wild. I used to browse r/dogfree because I thought it was (mostly) satire and OTT on purpose, and I'd laugh at a lot of it. I thought it was parodying something else.

Every once in a while there'd be stories that made me empathize and feel bad for the person, like some people were saying that they had severe debilitating allergies and they couldn't frequent their favorite restaurants anymore because pet patios were installed - yeah that sucks.

Some stories were even straight up super sad, like people who were traumatized from being bitten/attacked earlier on in their lives. Yeah - I'd probably be wary of dogs too if that happened to me.

But the vast majority of those comments were like "OMG DOGS STINK AND THEY SLOBBER EVERYWHERE. HOLY SHIT THEY LICK THEIR NUTS LOL FUCK DOGS AMIRIGHT?! THEY POOP ON THE FLOOR - GROSS." I genuinely thought those were purposeful parody stories because hating dogs for just existing is such a...weird stance.

Apparently it's a thing though 🤷‍♀️.

I wanna know if they all applied those sentiments to all pets.

There isn't a single domesticated animal that isn't "gross" and has to be cleaned up after constantly. Dogs will shit on the floor when you don't let them outside to shit in nature, but a cat doing what it's supposed to do will shit in a box you have to empty regularly and shreds your furniture for fun. At least dogs only lick their balls, cats have the flexibility to straight up lick their assholes.

You can train a cat to shit in the toilet and flush. Also, we accidently locked our cat out of access to the litter box at night ones and he shat in the corner of a closet, which I honestly just found very sad but polite

I don't know if that's possible with every cat. Some cats are smart and some cats are dumb, just like people. Not only that, but even if the cat is smart enough, sometimes they just don't want to listen.

Have you trained your cat to do this? I don't even know where you would start, but I'm interested.

I have not, you have to train them from a really young age as cats get stubborn when they get older. We got our cat from a shelter, so we never got the chance to try. but basically you have to start with getting a litterbox which you can put on the toilet, after a while you can remove it and they keep dumping their load there. Not sure how you would get them to flush, but I have heard of cats doing just that

That's wild! Thanks for the info. Yea my rescue cat is probably too old to try now, too. I will definitely remember this next time I wind up with a kitten.

Edgelords gonna edge. You like something common and popular? Well I don't because I'm incredibly unique and tragically misunderstood - just like the other thousands of people whose sentiments I echo. Replying makes me a hypocrite, but pondering other's self-imposed misery is a waste of your time. If we magically exterminated these pesky "x" all that pissy emotion would just transfer to the hot new "y". Any reason to complain will do. It's the act itself that releases the cortisol.
