Does some people's fear/dislike of cats have to do with their family resemblance to the big cats?

Jewish user Shadowfire (who has been on Yahoo Answers since the beginning and could possibly be the infamous homosexual flying antichrist from the tribe of Dan) from Portland [or so he claims because he could’ve been born in Russia in Valday (Russian: Валда́й) to a 12th generation Jewish prostitute who pretends to be a virgin)] has many trolls accounts on Yahoo Answers: Blackthorne1979, Carter Berg, Fireball, ThatToiletguy, Reynaldo Weeks, Petri Lindroos, Knightwulf, Nightwulf, Toilet John, Master Debator, Magistra, Desiree, D-girl, Firecock, Yahoo User, Corvus Blackthorne, L.E. Gant, Shadowfire the Sarcastic, Shadowfire Lives, Shadowfire Lives bytches, etc. and any other anonymous accounts. With one his accounts Fireball, he pretends to be a Methodist old lady who posts short-hand slang TIRH (this is religion here). He reports all answers and questions that he doesn't like just so that his questions stay on top in the Religion and Spirituality section. He trolls in other categories too. It gives Christians a bad name (just because of this troll's sock puppet account). His Toilet John account keeps posting questions where Jesus was sodomized by Roman soldiers. Remember the prophecy where it says that the antichrist will have personal hatred towards the real Jesus Christ. That’s why Shadowfire keeps posting thousands of similar questions along the line: “Did Romans sodomize Jesus?” or “Did Romans buttrape Jesus?”. He asks multiple idiotic mundane questions like “Is Hinduism true?”, “What makes a girl harden?” [like he enjoyed killing little girls], etc. and answers them with his sock puppet accounts just to gain points. Some questions you can see that he answered with like five or seven accounts (especially the ones about himself that he reports right away). With his Reynaldo Weeks account he boasts that he was the reason why their accounts were suspended. With his Magistra account he threatens people with clowns and CIA assassins. Shadowfire mocks Christians with his sock puppet account Fireball in the Religion and Spirituality section by answering very destructively and adding "TIRH here" or reported (anonymously) or “fck you nigers”. He gives Christians a bad name because he promotes sins like sodomy, fornication, ecumenism, astrology (horoscopes), etc. He should be executed and burned at the stake for blasphemy. He spreads rapture heresy, ecumenism heresy, etc. and many more subtle heresies. Antichrist will ride on a donkey into the 3rd Temple. Stop him before it’s too late.

I think people dislike domestic cats for a few reasons, but I don't think it's due to their bigger cousins ...

Cats are unlike most non-primate mammals in that they have quite wide faces with their fur, with short snouts and big eyes. I think there's a sort of 'uncanny valley' situation (like in CGI humans) where something has a human-like face but isn't human, and that's a bit unsettling for some people.

This is then compounded by their eyes. There is something quite different about the way a cat looks at you compared to just about any other animal - they make direct eye contact. You could have food in your hand, but they'll glance at the food, then look at you in the eye as if assessing what you'll do. People are uncomfortable when humans make direct eye contact ... a small animal with a human-like face doing it creeps some people out.

Add all that to the fact that they are quiet and can suddenly appear beside you without you hearing them, the knowledge that they have sharp little claws, and all the negative folklore around cats, and it's not surprising that some folks dislike cats.

Not really. More of the myths that cats are evil and black cats are bad luck cause a fear of cats. PROOF the black cat rumors are myths: I have two black cats, nothing major bad has happened, only dropping stuff and forgetting.

A fear of cats is generally more cultural based, believing superstitions that surround cats, black cats are evil and bring bad luck/ bad omens, cats are the preferred familiar for witches, etc..   while there are some superstitions that cats bring good luck, there's plenty more that associate cats with bad luck, evil or bad omens.

A dislike of cats is based more on the fact that they are sneaky creatures and not as personable or as sociable as dogs.   We are social creatures by nature, so many find more of a trust in other social creatures, and not so much in an aloof animal like a cat

More than likely it's an evolutionary response. We are prey animals, as far as big cats are concerned. 

These two might just eat me if given the chance.

My flame point street cat brothers.
