These Cats Are All Jerks But We Love Them Anyway

by Elana

Cats are known for many things. It's true that one of those things is they can kind of be jerks. Don't get me wrong, cats are the best companions! They just have attitude (sometimes referred to as "cattitude,") and even though sometimes it can be a pain, their sassy demeanors are just another endearing quality we both appreciate about our cats and celebrate about them.

If we didn't celebrate them, subreddits like r/catsareassholes and r/animalsarejerks wouldn't be so popular. They are very popular! Clearly the reasons why include a genuine appreciation for the naughty side of our cat companions. We love them wholly, blemishes and all.

Unfortunately, the verdict is still out. We love cats too much to say they're jerks. Let us know what you think right meow in the comments!
