Because ppl are stupid. I purposely adopt black cats so my friends & family will see cats are sweet (if you treat them right) and having black fur means nothing.
I used to hate cats when I was unfamiliar with them. Mostly because I would see strays that were used to getting fed by humans so they would paw at people to try to get food. Also, I hated going to people's house and having the strange cat come out of nowhere and rub up against me.
It gets me covered in hair, who knows what else and it's disturbing. I also hate dogs that are strange and overly-friendly: jump up on you, lick your face, paw all over you. It's annoying.
But then I met my wife's cat- it took me a year of being around to even see the cat because the cat was unsocial and I had to earn her trust. If the cat was caught off guard and someone she didn't know or like came in the room she would hiss and run away. I really respect cats like that because they want true companionship and don't just like anybody.
After I did get to know her, she was really friendly and liked to play and was cuddly.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
