Poll: Is It Weird When Men Love Cats?

[IamQ]

Wait what? Since when were we not allowed to love cats? Did I miss the memo or something? Should I turn in my man card now?

 

[The Almighty Grigard]

Seriously....

How can you not love this singularity of adorableness that is a cat.

Spoiler: One of my family's cats

I'm gonna say the same thing that multiple people surely have said already. Sure cats might not be "manly" but are you manly enough to have a cat and not take shit from others?

 

[AnAngryMoose]

There is nothing wrong with a guy liking cats, or dogs, or any pet for that matter. I have a cat, and so does my boyfriend. I don't see why some people would have a problem with this. Here is a pic of our two cuties. ^-^

The way that the cat on the left is just sitting down is one of the most adorable things I've seen in quite a while!

OT: I love cats, and it really gets on my nerves when someone bashes cats. I understand if you're allergic, but when people pull the whole "cats don't really like you" thing I just want to hit them. It's complete bullshit. Anyway, I'm off to cuddle my kitty now.

I think the reason they're considered feminine, is because in general, their most desirable quality is that they're cute, whereas dogs for instance, are usually pets because they are fun.

Regardless, no, it's not strange for a guy to like animals because they are cute.

ZOMG IT'S WEIRD FOR X TO LIKE Y NOW!!1!

Had a cat for ages, I was weird long before that

If I ever meet a girl who doesn't like the fact that I like cats, then that girl won't be worth knowing, to me at any rate. I'm serious here, literally every girl I know likes cats. Plenty of my female friends hate mice, and I have one friend who's scared of pigeons, but they all like cats. So yeah.

I'm a straight male of twenty-one years who has a cat, and a dog, and loves cats to bits. I sit here typing this while our cat is curled up asleep in the paper basket on the desk by the computer, and a few moments ago she was curled up on my lap letting me stroke her. I say 'letting' because as we all know, you don't just do something to a cat. Cats ALLOW you to do things...

 

[Dimitriov]

I am a straight male and I think cats are AWESOME >

Also hilarious and adorable. Just make sure to keep an eye on them.

 

[anthony87]

Hell no. In my experience a cat can show just as much affection as a dog once you've properly earned its trust, if not more. So what's wrong with loving them?

 

[Crazycat690]

As far as I'm concearned it's manlier to have a cat than a dog, why?
1. People often get dogs as "protectors", so they will feel safer, people get cats when they feel they can take care of themselves and just want some company.
2. Cats are predators, and unlike dogs they still have that need to kill, which is manly.
3. If you have a dog, you have to obey it's needs, it's like taking care of a retarded person, a cat does alot of things on his own.
4. Cats, no matter what you do, will always believe that THEY are in charge, they are the boss in the house, while dogs will surrender to their master...
5. People say "nice doggie" to dogs who do something good, people say "nice kitty" when the cats haven't done anything bad yet, ergo people knows that cat are evil creatures, and are happy and reward simply not doing evil deeds.

This is just some over the top opinions, however if you disagree you are still totally wrong.

1- People get dogs because they are friendly and love you. Though cats can be loving, I've never had a cat that was nicer than my dogs.
2- My dogs always catch rabits and rats, though why you would want any animal to kill another is wierd. I mean unless you don't feed it and let it eat other animals, I guess it's ok, but how will you stop them from eating other animals, like other peoples pets?
3- No, you have to obey a cats needs. Dogs follow you about and do what ever you tell them, while cats stay on your bed waiting you to feed them. Then when you want them to move for what ever reason, they get pissed off with you.
4- Why would you want your cat in charge of YOU. If a dog thinks you're the boss, then he will give you no trouble. Cats believe they are the boss, so when you try to get them to do something (as I said before, like moving off somewhere when you want to work there), they get angry at you. At best they run outside and stay there for hours avoiding you, at worst they try to attack you. My dogs would never do that to me.
5-Cats are not evil, they are terortorial. If they think you are invading their space, then they will try to stop you. And saying "a cat is evil" is not a good arguement to whether to get a cat rahter than a dog or any other household pet.

You sir, take things too seriously. I don't like dogs because they are needy, and bark, while cats meow, and aren't needy, also dogs are slimier. That's my opinion, and as I said earlier, if you disagree with my opinion, you are wrong

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

Oh boy...I have about 5 cats but at one time, there were nearly 20 running about (that's what happens when two of your cats get pregnant - from the same ginger tom cat - twice) and without fail, I loved each and every one of them and they - well most of them anyway - loved me back but probably just because I'm in charge of getting all the cats and dogs fed...Whatever the reason anyway, I see nothing wrong or un-manly about liking cats.

 

[kabooz18]

Wierd is that you even need to ask...
OFCOURSE IT ISN'T WIERD!!!!

 

[TheDooD]

Cats pretty much do what they want all day. Aren't really a hassle, unlike dogs that just bark at the slightest off noise for 30 mins straight. Plus cats are cute

 

[The Lugz]

Also, so long as the cat's not naked or

Wuuuut?

I don't mind naked cats, in fact clothed ones look rather ridiculous to me.
i guess im just old fashioned that way


also, i DARE anyone who thinks they're 'too manly for cats' to walk upto a lion and kick it in the balls
exactly.
cats > you.
domestic ones are just collectable miniatures, imo.

 

[BodomBeachChild]

I have cats, and I don't see anything wrong with them. I mean, at one point in history they were bigger and meaner, yeah. Dogs can be just as friendly and cuddley as cats so it's not like they're always manly. Snakes though...

 

[Jumplion]

Pft, I friggin' love my dumbass cat, it's adorable how silly he is. One of my "punkish" friends loves him to, why would it be weird for a guy to like cats?

Just for reference, I have a tonkanese type of cat;

Pretty much looks exactly like that, how can anyone not love that adorable wittle thing?

 

[Heartcafe]

Anyone who cuddles with cats looks adorable :3

 

[beeejay]

I don't go in for all that masculinity stuff anyway. I like cats 'cos cats are cute.

Spoiler: Edited spoiler title for comedic effect: Warning! Kitty nudity

I could never bring myself to put clothes on any kind of animal... except a human, but they usually do it themselves.

 

[killercyclist]

i like cats because they will be there to pet and play with, but in reality could give a shit whether or not you want them around. cats are awsome.

 

[Kizi]

I love cats. However, for some reason people always throw verbal shit at me when I tell them I like cats more than dogs.
