Why is it that cats can not only tell if you dislike them, but can also sense if you are allergic to them? As a child I wasn't allergic to cats but now that I am, cats make a beeline (ok, make that a catnip line) for me. They will try to sit on my lap, rub against my legs, jump up on the furniture - all just so that they can be close to me. Is this pure sadism on their part? From the little I know about the way cats toy with their smaller victims, such as mice and birds, I suspect that they are merely viewing me as just another target. Albeit a larger one than usual.
The question is, how do they know that I am allergic to them? Is it some form of ESP? Is it the same way that dogs can tell when humans are going to have fits? In which case why do dogs use their powers for good and cats don't? Are cats simply untrainable?
