I’m here to teach you guys a life lesson. Stop taking stuff so personally. And understand that literally anyone can hate you at anytime for literally any reason. You aren’t a fictional cat, you didn’t do what they did. Don’t take it personally when people are like “your cat is evil and mean because they murdered someone >:(“ because uh you… you made that choice for the cat. You didn’t bite the cat to death. It’s a fictional cat. Just chill. Be chill people. Just because someone says “you killed my cat and didn’t give me any warning” is not a world ending personal attack. Asking someone to apologize for doing something like this is not rude. Getting mad because YOUR CAT did something bad and people don’t like it is unreasonable. If you didn’t want people to be mad, well, I wonder what you could’ve done? Not done that thing. Frustration, anger, upset, disappointment, etc DO NOT equal hate. Just because someone doesn’t /like/ what you’re doing doesn’t mean they now have a personal vendetta against your whole family. Fun fact, murder is wrong in almost all cases! People have a right to be angry at your cat for that! You don’t have a right to start a fight because someone asked you to apologize to someone for killing their cat! So before you go “reporting this person! someone’s giving me OORP/INRP hate,” think this: Is this actually hate? If the answer’s yes, there’s a problem. However, in most cases people do not hate you or your cat. They dislike the actions most of the time. And they have a right to if they want, because you 1. Can’t control that and 2. They can have their own opinions. Did they use tonetags? If they did, maybe think further on that and see if you misunderstood. Most people are not out to start fights, but misunderstanding or outright ignoring tonetags leads to a lot of problems. If they didn’t, ask them the tone of the message instead of assuming. Did I do what they’re claiming? Sometimes people get the wrong info. This is the internet. Calmly explaining is possible, you don’t have to throw a tantrum. Do they have a reason to be upset? People can often get really attached to their characters. You need to show sympathy for this, especially if your cat is the one who killed theirs. If someone asks you to apologize to them, that is a reasonable request. Saying “I already did, don’t come after me for this,” is not a good response. Because once again, people may not know or may have been told something wrong. Saying “Yes, thank you for the reminder, I already have :)” is much more positive and less likely to start an argument. Instead of immediately looking at confrontation like this person is declaring war on you, just think rationally and be understanding. If you can’t deal with the consequences, don’t have an evil cat.
