i am sinlge and would own a cat because they are fun animals and require very low maintenance. However, they cost money and I'm allergic to them. There is nothing wrong with a single guy owning a dog, why would there be something wrong with a single guy owning a cat?
I like almost all animals myself, so I wouldn't care.
However, if it's someone who owns a bunch of cats (around 4 or more), I would think that person, male or female, is most likely nuts.
Most normal people view cat-lovers as suspect. I can understand owning a cat for the kids; kids are allowed to like carts. But an adult who actually likes cats is very odd.
They are just animals lovers who specifically own a cat because they're low maintenance. Dogs aren't good pets if you live in a small space, don't have a yard, or work long hours away from home.
Sure, some guys who own cats are gay. Some aren't. Silly stereotype.

No, most are gay or want to be.

To me it is not even a gay thing, so much. It is like, they are just weirdos. I am fine if a guy is gay, but a guy who owns a cat is like that guy Chris Crocker.
People, not just guys who own cats and not dogs, tend to be a few bricks shy of a load.
Cats are annoying. Their pee smells like amonia through the whole house. They can't go to the park with you. They can't go on a run with you. And, they are useless. Useless.

I like to snuggle with mine :) I also videotape him and put it on YouTube.
My ex-wife is a cat lover, which makes me dislike cats even more.
At one point a few years back there were 18 cats in her house, counting grown ones and kittens. I don't care if you're male or female, gay or straight, that's just f*cked up.
When I would come to pick up the kids for their week with me, the kids would beg to bring a cat or two back with them. Not just no, but HELL no. They don't ask much any more.
As for guys owning cats, to each his own, but it's a pretty gay thing to do. Most normal guys are dog people.
For the record, I have a black lab, a real man's pet.
Male friend took his mothers cats when she died. Until that time he a active sex life. He had a number of partners that stayed over on a recurring basis. With-in two years he stopped being (let's call it) successful at having a bachelor lifestyle. He struggled getting second dates let alone second stay overs. No idea if the two are connected or not but I can not help thinking they are.
Women and Cats do what they do; there is nothing a man can do about it.

No they don't.
I currently live in a house with two cats, who are the property of one of my roommates. I hate these things. I cannot respect a single man that has a cat because they just do not do much. They take, take, take, and only give if you are the hand that feeds them. If that is not the case, then they could care less about you. One of them is dog-like in his affability, but "playfully" bites my hand when I pet him. I don't want your teeth in my hand, buddy.

My cat comes running every time I come back from a trip. It varies from animal to animal. Some cats are very attached to their humans.
Personally, I think this association of cats with being effeminate and dogs with being manly is kind of screwed up. I don't understand the point of people inventing these kinds of ideas. Either one can make a good pet depending on your lifestyle and what you want in a pet. Lots of times, what's really more important is the personality of the individual cat or dog.
Unless you are a serious breeder - and probably doing a poor job of socializing them - having 18 cats or dogs really is nuts. If they are actually household pets, there's no way you can have a sane and sanitary household with that many animals.

How insecure are you man? People who worry about being "gay" or a "real man" over the age of 12 have some serious problems.
By the way, that's from a comedy.
i`m not an animal guy
my wife brought home a white Himalayan 13 years ago and he`s the greatest
my kids grew up around him
he`s alpha so he rules the house
cats are very funny
huge addition to our lives that i would never have thought of

So, what you're saying is that you'd rather have an animal that easily gives it's affection. Rather than having to actually earn it. Sounds like a stimulating relationship.
