Is it normal that I'm afraid of and disgusted by cats?

    Being afraid they might bite or scratch I can understand but the other stuff I don't get.

      I think most of them feel really gross. Their fur is sleek and almost oily, but the wave of revulsion that I get from touching one doesn't really have much to do with how they feel. It's more of an "oh my god, I just touched a cat" type thing. When I'm around them, I get that creepy crawly sensation that people get when they are grossed out by bugs. I'm not really sure why I think their faces are scary. Those things are just creepy-looking.

        Maybe you're allergic to cat dander? Unfortunately a lot of stupid people don't wash their cats. I started training my cat, washing him, clipping his nails and doing other grooming activities when he was a baby. Now he's just a sweet, little cuddle-bug. I love my velcro kitty! I can wash him in the tub like a baby.

          I like dogs. They don't have the somewhat-slimy fur that cats have and I've never gotten bit or scratched by a dog.
