Online cat people suck

Yancy Min

Full disclosure: I am an online cat people.

Whenever you try and ask for advice online relating to a cat, you encounter tens of comments telling you how bad of a cat person you are. You should have done that, you should do this other thing, you should definitely not do this, are you crazy? 

Here's the thing. This person comes and asks a question, from this we can deduce that this person might not know, if they would know maybe they would not have been in the situation they are describing. Or, they don't have the resources or the ideas to do something one certain way or at a particular time so they are looking for alternatives. Let's stop assuming the worst. Just by asking that's a huge important step, it's clear they want to learn and do better. 

So, cat people online, chill, help if you want to help because you are not achieving anything by making someone feel bad for asking. Actually, you do achieve something, you make people reluctant to ask, and then they don't learn and then the cats suffer, not because of ill intention, but because of adversity.

Good talk.
