Those of us who love cats have a hard time believing that there are those who think they have a bad reputation, but the sad reality is precisely that. Even today it is still thought that they are solitary animals, that they only care about themselves and no one else, and that they are not capable of giving as much affection as dogs.
And this ... well, it does not coincide at all with what they are or with the character of these furry ones. In fact, if you ask me, I'll tell you that they look more like humans than we might initially think. So, Why do cats have a bad reputation?
Cats cannot live with pregnant women
The »dreaded» toxoplasmosis ... It is said - even doctors say it - that if you are pregnant you cannot have a cat because it could give you toxoplasmosis and cause you to have an abortion. But that is a tremendous mistake.
To begin with, if your furry does not leave the house it is practically impossible for him to be sick, and even so with a simple test you would know if he is or not; And finally, you can get sick eating raw or undercooked meat, or touching your feline's feces and then putting your hand to your mouth ... something that no one in their right mind does.
Cats don't love anyone but themselves
It is true that they are more independent than dogs, but from there to saying that they cannot love anyone ... that is not true. Some study has been done to prove it, such as the one at the University of Oregon in the United States. In the it was rebelled that felines enjoy more the company of their humans more than food.

And I can tell you myself that more than once I work with my cat Bug 😉.
Cats can't learn anything
We have all seen dogs that have learned to sit, lie down, paw, etc. when your person asks you to, but can cats do that too? Well, keep in mind that felines are domestic animals but not domesticated, which means that they are capable of living with humans in their homes, but they will not be with us to please us ... unless they receive something in return.
Even so, if you have patience, awards that they like a lot and are respected you can get things like this:
That said, do you think cats deserve the bad name they have?
