Charles Barkley Is Not A Fan Of Cats
On Sunday night’s episode of Inside the NBA, Charles Barkley said that “a cat is not a real pet” on air live. Someone sent in a cat meme that they showed on the air and Barkley quickly commented that a cat isn’t a real pet, Kenny Smith then asked, “why not?” Barkley simply replied, “because it’s not a dog.” After a commercial break, Barkley came back and apologized, kinda. Saying he doesn’t dislike cats, he just thinks a dog is a real pet while a cat is not. When asked what a cat is, if not a real pet, Barkley said, “Just something. Like, old women have ‘em.”
