What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Lots are, but I think cats are very misunderstood animals. Both by owners and haters.

They're very simple creatures, they're not cunning, they don't think they own you or judge you, and they're not assholes on purpose, they're just really simple-minded. Also they don't "ignore" people or their owner on purpose, it's just that the abstract concept of a "command" or an "order" fly over their head completely. That being said, cats are social as hell, and if you're ok with having basically a big dumb cuddly creature dumber than a rat roam your house in exchange for love, cats are okay.
