Men and Cats

Hmmmm so I'm using all the right moves then? And no I'm not talking about my cats, although they also appreciate the tummy rubbing

I've always been leery of folks - women and men - who hate cats and intend to cause them harm. Something not wired up right. Avoid at all costs

Anyway my cats are very happy

 

My wife concurs. We have 7 cats. We started with two that were already hers, and have added six more over the years. We recently lost one.

But ladies, beware the single man that already has cats. Do you want to be competing with cats? Will he put you first, or them???

 

Rae, our cats give us enormous amounts of attention, but it is often too subtle to be noticed by many people, and devalued if it is noticed.

Personally, I am delighted by watching a cat turn his ear towards me when I greet him; or even better, when I am treated to a slow eye-wink. I do not appreciate a dog jumping on me and licking my face.

Jayman: That is a heart-warming picture.

 

Rae Vynn, I suspect that you've just thrown a hand grenade into the crowd! But being a cat person guy, I agree with you. Perhaps an even bigger issue is that guys with dogs demand and expect servitude and complete loyalty, not exactly helpful relationship traits for independent women.

I've never been chased by a cat while riding my bike, never been bitten by a cat, never been barked at by a cat, never been drooled on by a cat, and I can leave my cat(s) for a few days and they forgive me immediately when I get home, purring their greetings. I can't be tied down by a demanding dog.

My personal hand grenade comment is that while dating in my youth I had two simple criteria: if a woman smoked or had a dog, I would not consider going out with her.

Not that I have an opinion!

 

I knew that!!!

 

I guess the cat is out of the bag now. :madgrin:

 

"bnnnnnnnnnnnnnn " says the cat.

I interpret the slow eye wink as "I see you, glad you are here, and I trust you."

I love watching cats; they are remarkably communicative even before they talk. I have thought for a long time that anybody who forces a cat to live without company understands the cat very little. In their own way they are as sociable as humans, although typically much more civilized.

 

Yes. For a relationship with other single men with cats.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

Our cats *eventually* forgive us, but only after making it crystal clear that they were deeply insulted by the abandonment. Usually it takes the form of walking away when we greet them, or sitting with their backs to us.

As a peace offering when we are gone for more than 24 hours we pay someone to live in our house who is already friends with the cats.

 

Why are cats considered feminine? (as in real men don't have cats)

They are the biggest meat eaters in the animal kingdom, can't taste sweets, chocolate is more toxic to them than with dogs, as notorious as men when concealing illness until maybe too late.

Not saying this to say they are one way or another - many are quite affectionate critters.

 

Not all women love cats.

this link will get a few hisses, but hey her opponent does not have one.

Note to self: go purchase cat tomorrow, then walk on leash in public place to attract potential mates.

This sounds like it's definitely gonna work.

 

You can really tell alot about someone by the way they interact with animals. And animals are good judges of people, too. Usually, if an animal doesn't like someone, I'm not gonna like them either.

 

All animals are our friends. I don't trust anyone who aren't kind to animals. Human beings are the only species destroying the natural habitat. I believe that if you care about animals in general, you're a good lover.
I was a dog person but recently living with three Japanese bob tails, I've now become a cat person as well. What amazes me is just like humans, they have different personalities and demands. The great thing is they don't have to go for a walk and they don't need bathes.
