How many of you men love your cat? Options

[sdverb]

Hello Friends.

Can any of you men man up and admit that you love your cat?

[ciggggg]

We've all heard the saying: "Cats are a Man's Best Friend" ... and nothing could be more true, of course.

If memory serves me correctly I think it was the Ancient Egyptian priests who invented this saying.

There are two distinct kinds of male cat owner: Those who live with a cat or cats as a consequence of their womenfolk having brought a cat into the domestic situation --- and then there are those single males who opt for cat-ownership for one or more of a variety of reasons.

The 'coincidental' male cat-owner can always 'save face' and retain his macho credentials by telling his footy mates that the cat belongs to his wife/daughter/housekeeper - and that he himself regards the creature as an unwanted nuisance that he tolerates only because of the girls in his family.

However, the live-alone single male who keeps a cat or cats has no such excuses to take refuge in.

Except if you're gay. Then it's OK. Everyone 'understands'. You're forgiven. Have a Nice Day.

But! -- if you're NOT gay, and you live alone, and keep a cat or cats - and NO dog... then you'll find yourself under siege from fellow-males who think your sexuality is very suspect, and that you really should consider getting rid of the cats and buying a dog -- preferably an American Pit-bull Terrier just to make quite certain there's no lingering suggestion of homosexuality about you.

I'm this latter fellow. There's a stereotypical Aussie male who lives with his wife across the road who is only now, after 20 years, beginning to realise that maybe, after-all, I'm not gay -- and that it is possible (as remote as this may be) for a single male to own a cat and not be in the chorus-line of a gay revue dancing troupe...

LOL Herbet I just had to comment on this! I'm a 24 year old single guy living alone with my cat, and soon to add to my furr family..again. My friend probably found the most accurate description of me in the following words:

A gay man in every way....except for the attraction to men part lol!

another friend also referred to me as a feminine straight guy lol...

so thats my little addition to that argument haha
