Why do dog people hate cats?

But cat people generally like dogs as well as cats?
Met 3 dog lovers this weekend who all happily admitted they sometimes kick cats off their land they hate them so much!

I’ve never met a cat lover who shows as much venom towards dogs as dog lovers do towards cats. Have I just been meeting the wrong people?

I’m a big cat person - I like dogs and think they’re fun to be around but I wouldn’t want one living in my house due to the smell and dog poo in the garden, cats always bury their poop! Plus cats can look after themselves (for a day or two) and walk themselves.

I can completely appreciate why people have dogs though and agree they are more attentive than cats but the practical/cleanliness is a deal breaker for me.

I'm a dog person and I love cats! We always had both when I was growing up and my house is not a home without them.

In my experience, Cats are untrustworthy arseholes.

I would never kick one though!

I'm scared they'll attack me so I snarl at the neighbourhood ones when they are on my driveway to get them to stay away from me

A few have attempted to attack my dog before, so I've had to throw stones close to them to scare them off (never hit one though, just landed near them)
