I do find it interesting that you will more often hear people say they don't like cats than dogs.

Well, the article also says something interesting about that. Theory goes that real cat haters often have problems with the femals aspects of the human nature. So often persons who are comitting sex crimes have often tortured or killed cats in their past, as a pre-stage to the crime they did to woman later.

Besides, all the bad legends and rumours about cats are still in some people's heads, this is why they may appear spooky to some. All this has its roots back in the Middle Ages, when the Christian Church feared self-confident and strong women to be witches - and as we know, many many cats have lost their lives during the witch hunts also.
