I have 2 dogs and 1 cat but they don't wear my clothes.

[Goodbye2020Hello2021]

Why do people write this shit?
I know IA(probably)BU to even give it a second thought but it really irritates me. Why not stop at I have 2 dogs and 1 cat?

Selling site:
'lovely dress, 100% cotton, size 10, in really good condition.
I have 2 dogs and 1 cat but they don't wear my clothes
Price includes postage'

Eh

@MrsFluffyMuff

Eh

EXACTLY

Because on most selling sites you have to say if you own any animals, I think this is just a way of saying that you do own animals but they don't go anywhere near your bags/shoes/clothing ( delete as applicable )

I sell and buy a lot of high end bags and always have to include that I have dogs and cats.

Presume someone is trying to be funny saying “pet friendly house”

Yes, it's a sardonic way of saying the clothes won't be covered in cat fluff if you buy them.

Irrelevant to me - however clean they were on arrival at my house, they'd be covered in cat fluff within 5 five minutes!

Ahh I see. YANBU OP

It's just an attempt at comedy. Meh.

Why not stop at 'I have 2 dogs and 1 cat'? I would still buy...and wash the stuff when it got to me. By saying 'they don't wear my clothes' I think they are saying 'I have to tell you about my pets but shouldn't have to'.

I know it's U to be this irrationally annoyed!

Haha!

Allergy sufferers maybe?

I prefer clean non hairy stuff, but it isn’t a matter of life and death. I guess some people have sufficiently bad allergies that even clean items from a home with pets might be an issue. So it would be a way of saying item is going to be clean but not necessarily allergen free?

Typo for "tear"? My cat has an errant hooky claw and occasionally gets stuck on us!

Either that or a badly worded hint that animal floof isn't a problem.

This happens a lot in a shoe group I'm in (Irregular Choice).

They're trying to be funny but it's been done to death.

Our cats don't wear our clothes, but they do lay on them, sleep in the washing basket, and drag them off the clothes horse/radiator onto the floor when stressed.

As pp said it's just an attempt at humour, but I would put less stock in that description than if they simply said something like "we have pets but clothes are thoroughly washed and pet hair free).
