Why do so many people have such a deep and intense hatred for cats ?

This question arises from the "have you ever killed an animal" thread, where the usual sort of comments against cats, once again arose. This time two people admitting that they got a kick out of torturing or actually killing cats.
It does seem that this hatred towards cats is very deep rooted in some people. Even if they hate the cats, do they have no consideration for the owners who might be deeply affacted by the loss of their pet, or learning of its needless suffering.
Given that you never, or very rarely, hear the same thing said about dogs, despite the fact that they too are a preying animal, I'm just curious.
To me, it's a complete anathema to inflict pain and suffering on any animal. I simply can't understand why anyone would do it for a laugh or their own satisfaction.

I now live with two Siamese, who are extremely annoying at times, but so full of personality and affection that I have to forgive them.
There's a few dog lovers like that too, and I find it pretty hypocritical, and despite what they say there not animal lovers at all. In the case of those alpha dog owners the animal is merely an extension to their ego, offering unquestioned loyaly, whereas a cat would be indifferent. I think there's also the bullying coward issue, cats are small enough to be attacked relatively safely.
I'm a cat lover, but I would never take pleasure from uneccessary cruelty to another animal.
Are you a vegan?
Yes, are you?
I am not.
Oh,ok.
I love cats. We've always had one.
Lol awkward. You could tell he hoped you'd say no, then he could call you a hypocrite. Fail.
LOL I thought he may have been a fellow vegan and we were going to unite in animal love
I suppose deep down that was what I was hoping for. Didn't think of it till you just said though.
Giggity.
You're a disgrace!
I shall go into the garden and whip myself with willow branches

No. You whip yourself with a horse tail. I'll just get one for you...
Nooooooooooooo!!!! :eek: unless it is still attached to the horse of course!then he can gently swish.
This is starting to sound like a fetish.
