Ailurophobia is a type of specific phobia: the persistent, irrational fear of cats. Fear leads to hatred and aggression whether in speech or conduct. BBS text is speech gents.
How many of you as boys and teens tortured and shot stray cats?
I knew guys who regulary burned stray cats, put them in bags and threw them in water. Or tried out their new BB, Pellet or 22cal gun on stray cats. Dogs kill people all over the world for many reasons. Unless you are talking Big Cats, the incidence of death related to domestic or even feral cats is very miniscule.
I've never been mauled by a domestic cat. I was attacked and nearly killed by a cattle dog when I was a child on my extended familes ranch in S.D. I love dogs as much as cats. The wife and I are planning to get either a Doodle or giant royal Poodles. The males average 100-125libs.

Or a Newfypoo: Half Newfoundland and Poodle mix. Up to a 150lb dog.
So whats your major malfunction gents?? Trying to get a BBS personal attack in by creating an instantaious coallition of Ailurophobiac's to cover your veiled personal attack?? It's OK to be intollerant and aggressive if you have a peer group to cover you ain't it gents??
Tollerance for me not Thee........................
I am not afraid of cats. They usually end up being chased by our Redbone Coonhound, so it provides cheap entertainment. But they shouldn't be chased in the first place, because the cat owners shouldn't be allowed to let the piles of dung run loose in the neighborhood.
Edit, I noticed you slipped the accusatory sentence. I have never harmed nor tortured any cat, I just do not care for them.
