Couldn’t be more wrong. Authoritarians are often psychopaths, and cats (honestly) are kinda psychopathic animals, if very charming, invasive predators and all that. So like many of them love cats and hate dogs (dogs are too direct and chaotic).
And when I had authoritarian views (monarchist with hard limitations, kinda similar to paleo-libertarians if I think about it, but I didn’t have knowledge of such terms then ; it was really long ago and was a reaction at being autistic among not very nice people), I wanted to have a piece of territory covered in tall grass and bushes populated by cats, so.
Calling all cats psychopathic is like saying ‘all my exes are crazy’. It’s probably you, not them. Cats are very sensitive to body language, and like to have their boundaries respected as though they are 20x their size.
My cats bring me their favorite toy springs and meow at me until I accept their gift. They follow me everywhere I go, sleep by my side, and huddle up to me when I cry.
What you described was people liking cats as an ornament, not as a companion. Not to mention, dogs are far easier to train. Someone who enjoys authoritative control would likely prefer dogs over cats.
My sister made me responsible for a dog (not that I’m against that). And also since then I learned that letting cats roam is not very good for the nature.

Wild take.
Very wild take, but as a cat owner I have to agree woth him on the point that cats are psychopathic
How did the cat garden end up going?

I might get a cat in the future, though.
