I don't really dislike cats. I have my own cat, a black cat, "Panther", whose mom was Siamese but she partied with a regular black cat and she lives with three parakeets who she doesn't bother and a large Amazon parrot who she doesn't dare bother.
I like cats also. Got 7 at present, as momma cat had kittens 4 months ago. Had 3 birds but the last batch of kittens ate the birds, so we gave up on birds right now.
