Anonymous asked: so i'm having a conversation with somebody about cats and dogs and he just compared the two by saying dogs have ADHD and cats have aspergers. i feel a bit offended and not just because i'm a cat person; i think it's ableist and inconsiderate. i think using any disorder as a slur, no matter how minor and innocent they think it may seem, is wrong. what do you think?

That is very ableist, not to mention incorrect. Dogs do not act like a person with ADHD, they act like dogs. If I were to compare animals to humans, I’d say dogs are like 4 year olds and cats are like 12 year olds.
