Talk me down.....please.
What IS it about guys and (OMG) CATS!!! Times have certainly changed since I was a kid. In those days of old (LOL), there was no such thing as a guy having a cat for a pet! No sir. Never. Not in a million years. Even the prissy guys didn't dare entertain such a thing. But THESE DAYS! There are guys out there who love, nurture and fawn over cats named Amber and Rochelle, not to mention Missy, Faux Paw, and my personal favorite -- Li'l Ho. These guys are INTO this stuff! Consider Tom and his cat, Jerry, which is sooo funny considering that in the cartoon Jerry is a mouse; Will and his cat, Grace; Butch and his cat, Sundance. (sigh)
There are magazines devoted to men and their cats; websites full of information on de-clawing and how to determine the precise psychological bent of your cat; support groups for those who have "outed" themselves about their feline fetishes. Evidently there is a HUGE amount of grief among male cat lovers due to their lack of support from friends when something horrible befalls Faux Paw or Li'l Ho.
Hear that? That's me falling down laughing!

Seems to me that if a guy can feel and show affection for a small animal, it would be a good sign, being as there are so many men who can't seem to feel or show affection for anything.
Sure, dogs are the traditional "manly" pet - I guess because some can hunt, come in large sizes, and have a deep bark. But, dogs also require constant attention and affection. Many men don't like to deal with women who need constant attention, yet with a dog it's okay?
Cats, on the other hand, can be left home alone for a long weekend, and anything longer than that only requires that someone stop in a few times a week to refill the food and water bowls. much more practical for the low-maintenance, traveler's lifestyle. Cat are also generally aloof, sneaky, and only care about themselves.
Seems like many men would more easily relate to cats, don't you think?
jill, jill, jill... how very RIGHT you are! what a wonderful perspective! LOL
Naw. He's NOT.
