I've definitely seen multiple people talk about how they view it as a red flag when people like dogs but not cats because cats are mean. Their reasoning is that dogs will love you no matter what but cats have to want to get attention. The argument is that people don't understand boundaries/consent.
I see their logic, but I think it's looking a bit too far into it. Yellow flag maybe, not red.
Someone who doesn't like cats is a red flag for me for one simple reason:
I have cats! They're not going anywhere, either, so this probably isn't going to work out lol.
