Poll: Is It Weird When Men Love Cats?

[Nickompoop]

Wait...where's the poll?

OP: Cats are a practical pet. They crap in the same 2 square feet every time so there's no hunting for it. They don't need to be walked. They're hilarious and very entertaining. And every cat has a distinct personality. I'm a straight dude, and I'm a cat person.

Besides, with a cat, you can also say you get some pussy. Heyoo!

I have no idea what happened to the poll. It ran away from me

personally I dislike both cats and dogs.....and birds.....and fish but that's because I'm lazy. All for personal reasons mind you, I don't think anything less of anybody man or women who prefers cats over dogs or vice versa. So no I don't think it wrong for a man to love cats.

It had never occurred to me that it might be unusual for men to like cats until I started seeing articles that said "It's OK For Straight Men To Like Cats" and then other articles that say quite the opposite. So, is it really that weird for men to love cats? For girls, is it a turn-off if your date says that he's a "cat person"? I'm not trying to make you all love cats, I'm just curious.

I see no weirdness in men keeping and caring for our fuzzy felines. Do people think that doing so makes you Jon Arbuckle or something?

I'm a straight guy, I have 2 cats. I love kitties!!!! One of mine is sitting on my lap right now actually. Most girls I know say they like how I'm good with animals so it's okay

Edit: Here are my two kitties:

Cats are cute! Love them a lot. There's actually an entire family of them living in my neighborhood. I leave out a dish of milk from time to time. So cute.

Also, catgirls.

I love cats. I also love dogs. I tend to appreciate dogs more than cats, but I have a picture of me somewhere that sort of shows I don't discriminate too much... I uploaded it just for this thread. See how much I care?

Not weird at all.
But, it IS weird if you like them as much as H.P. Lovecraft did...

nah. i prefer cats over dogs, myself. they are a lot more chilled out, for one. cats like to play, but they also like to lounge, same as me. also, im not a big fan of getting licked, and cats dont really do that. they keep their tongues to themselves, for the most part. i also like that cats shit in a box and bury it. all you have to do is shovel it into the trash. and cats dont freaking leap all over you with their massive weight (weight that they dont really have) and they dont bark... other than those weird cats on youtube that bark.

the only dog i would choose over a cat would be a Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

Holy crap, that's the fanciest way I've ever heard someone say that they like cats.

I think you're weird if you don't love cats.

You get a pie, a cookie, a high five, and ALL of the internets. And I don't know, maybe a lolcat or something. Get it? lolCAT?

While I appreciate the pie, cookie, high five and the entirety of Internets, I don't think the cat community appreciates the derogatory stereotypes that lolcats perpetuate:

See? Kitteh, is no happy. Also relevant:

A fun fact; A cat's longest recorded life lasted 32 years...or should I have said longest recorded Lives? (=^_^= Cat pun.)

*insert rimshot sound here* Bugger me, 32 years?! That's incredible, in animal years that'd make the poor thing 224 years old! I wouldn't want to live past 90 at the very most. Yeah, that's actually pretty interesting.

Noooo my kittys!! I swear I'm gonna have to hide my cats eventually, every time someone new sees them they threaten to steal them.

Btw my cats names are Oreo and Sherbert

 

[DracoSuave]

Yes.

Cats are kick-ass.

Fuck all this cute shit... they have attitudes and personalities and shit.

Every time a cat tries to communicated it's punctuated with a cool and swuave 'fuck you.'

 

[ecoho]

as long as you dont hate dogs your ok

So I'm weird, then?
I don't hate dogs as much as I used to, but I can't stand that dog who sometimes barks at me from behind a hedge where I can't see it and it's looking at me with its X-ray vision whenever I walk by that house. (A few times, I was mad enough to give that dog the finger.) I pretty much avoid most dogs like the plague, but I have seen some really adorable ones who did not look like they would murder me in a horrific manner and put my head on a stake (not necessarily in that order).
And, yes, if you haven't already guessed by the fact that I posted it here, I am a guy, I do love cats, and I know other males who do as well.

lol well no your not weird youve just never met a dog outside its territory(thats why they bark at you i should have said earlier i love my cat but she acts like a dog and plays with my dogs...so idk if that counts lol

This is one of the stupidest gender stereotypes I have ever heard of (and I just read it for the first time)

If it applied, women would be keeping cats, while the big manly man has a giant Rottweiler or something (not to compensate for anything, god no), which means that the big manly man can never visit the woman because the Rottweiler would do mean things with the cats, right?

I am a real cat person, to the point where you start making weird noises in the vicinity of a feline, but on the other hand, I would keep a flamingo as a pet if that was what I really wanted, because f*** gender, that's why!
