I'm Not Really Into Cats, But I Act Like It To Impress My Friends

So here's this funny little secret of mine that you won't find many people willing to admit. You know how everyone thinks I’m just a huge cat person? Well, there’s some truth to it, I’ve got all the T-shirts and the coffee mugs with kitty cats on them, so my house looks like a big ol’ feline fan club. But here’s the twist: deep down, I'm not really into them at all! Don't get me wrong; they’re cute and everything, but honestly? Dogs are where it's at for me. The thing is, most of my friends are total cat lovers. So instead of being the weirdo who doesn’t like cats in a room full of cat enthusiasts, I’ve been pretending to love them just so we can all bond over our supposed shared interest. It’s not like lying about something important, but it does give me this little guilty pang every time I put on one of my kitty-themed outfits or make some joke about how cats are the best thing ever. But hey, at least now you know, the next time someone asks if I want to adopt a kitten, just know I’m secretly eyeing up that golden retriever at the shelter.
