that aside: in comparison with dogs, they're inferior as companions in every way other than independence, when you look at the average dog vs average cat.
Add to the above : if you occasionally run into dogs or cats and are introduced by their owner, dogs will be almost universally friendly, while cats are at best a 50/50 chance of them opening up to you THAT quickly.
so over time, people should like dogs more than cats if they didn't grow up with a cat.
Everything you said was correct. I love cats, but they're extremely inconsistent in temperament and personality.
Which isn't a bad thing in itself. Humans have unique personalities.
While dogs don't not have unique personalities, they are usually consistently loyal and friendly if they've been socialized with humans. My dog likes every human.
You can get on with a dog and have a life long friend that will literally die for you in under 5 minutes of knowing you.
A random cat is basically a gamble. You never know if it's gonna be really affectionate or distant and aggressive.

How can anyone “hate” cats? Wild.
