Actually, it's been speculated that the Black Plague occurred as a result of so many cats being killed due to "witch fears" and the resultant boom in rodent population.
Cats are more effective rodent killers than dogs and are immune to many of the diseases transmittted by rodents, unlike humans and dogs.
Saying the cat is an annoying parasite is just patently bigoted. Men generally prefer dogs because dogs are pack animals, and as pack animals have developed social rules that are similar to humans. In fact, dogs have body language similar to ours, and can read our body language quite well.
Cats are solitary predators, their body language is completely different from a dogs and reading that language requires effort and empathy, much like the problem some men encounter when trying to understand women. It's too much like effort so "it's stupid."
To this day, one of the reasons there are feral cat trap/neuter/release projects (as opposed to poison)is that it's been discovered that killing the feral cats creates a very genuine pest problem that isn't easily controlled by humans.
You prefer dogs, other people prefer cats or birds or bunnies or hedgehogs. That doesn't make you right and others wrong. That just makes other people different from you.
