The only time a cat scratched me was when I pulled its tale when I was 2
People who think cats are assholes are automatically extremely sus to me. Says a lot about character and none of it good
That’s the thing though they’re not really assholes. Most of them don’t even really do that much besides sit around. The perception that they are assholes I think comes from a disconnect where people expect them to act a certain way and be amenable to any treatment just because they’re domesticated. Like I know with my dog if I walk up to her and start messing with her she’ll just see it as an invitation to play and run around. I can grab her tail and she’ll just be like awesome let’s wrestle. But cats act more like humans, you can’t just walk up and pull their tails and have them react like it’s cool. They have boundaries. So when people say “cats are assholes” all it says to me is “I don’t like that I have to respect their boundaries”
My household cat will jump onto my lap, dig its claws into my knees as it gets comfy, decide it’s not comfy, jump up onto my desk, then start rapidly hitting any papers/cables/small boxes within paw’s reach onto the ground.
I love them but they are a weird little guy. I have to notice the warning signs and lower them onto the ground before they can start doing silly things.

People who don’t like cats also happen to be the same people with no concept of boundaries or respect for anyone but themselves. Befriending a cat is as easy as being quiet and sitting still doing your own thing and suddenly the cat wants to be your best friend.
Cats hate loud people who are in your face who think everyone else exists only for their entertainment. And to be perfectly honest I also hate those people.
I see what you did there, and authorities have been alerted.
