I’ve noticed a correlation between people who don’t like cats and having narcissistic or selfish tendencies ...

You can be narcissistic and still like cats. It'll give you both something to bond over.

But for real, there are people who keep their cats on vegan diets because their beliefs are more important than their pets' health.

There's also people who insist that you shouldn't spay/neuter your cat and still let them outside to roam free. That might not technically be narcissistic, but cats have a tremendous negative impact on the ecosystem, and feral cats suffer greatly in the wild.

All that said, I love my fuzzballs. They stay indoors, both for their protection and the local wildlife.
