Also, in before the nasty jokes.
My story for cat haters from a friend who was a long-range recon guy in VN, retired from the Army & decided he loved animals & wanted to be a vet. Ultimately, didn’t complete vet school, as taking care of hurt animals was too emotionally exhausting for him. He became a policeman, then a juvenile court judge & for many years ran a shooting course in OR.
Anyway, one of his classes was psychology. One day the professor came in & spoke directly to the ladies in class:
“Ladies, if your boyfriend doesn’t like animals, DUMP him. If he likes dogs, he’s probably okay. But if he likes cats, STALK him!”
