Replace “cat” on that argument with “person” and it sounds a lot like dating someone because you plan to “fix them” or think “if I just love them enough”

I don’t like like cats because they remind me of shitty people I’ve dated.

Edit: and the immediate downvote (or arguments in real life) reminds me of times when you say “hey… your partner is kinda mean to you sometimes” only to hear “YOU DONT KNOW THEM LIKE I DO!!! THEY LOVE ME!!!”
