A couple who always had cats in the many years that they lived in their house stipulated that the house would only be sold to Cat People. Their stated reasoning was thus:
"The spirit of cat will be too strong for dogs. The sense of their being will turn doggie into a hyperneurotic hypochondriac. Not to mention the wild neighbors. Many generations of squirrels have lived here in relative harmony with the cats. They will turn any dog into yapping madness as they are experts in canine torture."
This was viewed by many buyers as bat shit crazy or to be generous, quite eccentric. These people didn't grasp that the couple's insistence was based on compassion and fairness for the dogs. "Why put your beloved pet through this?" was their question. "They won't be happy here and neither will you."
