I did edit it and follow up softening my stance.
You're right though, it's just a sore spot because there are a lot of people who think that cats are independent animals by nature and can be left alone without consequence. If you have an older cat who's been alone their whole life that can be true, but virtually every cat would be happier if they were raised from a young age with a friend.
