So I'm not the only person that cats hate! Ha! I feel very uncomfortable around cats, so I always avoid them and I never look at them, hoping they'll leave me alone.
Whenever I go to someone's house who has a cat, the cat will pick me out of the group---and come jump on me! Why me? I hate cats---and I'm highly allergic to them.
Finally, I read somewhere that cats don't like people who don't make eye contact with them. So do you know what I do now? I STARE THEM DOWN!!! And now they leave me alone!
Try it. I'm curious to see if it will work for you.
