| | Single guys with cats?Page 1 of 1 | Alright. So I had a girl tell me once, that a single guy with a cat is a red flag. I just read another girl basically say the same thing.
So ladies, I want your input. Why is a single guy, with a cat, a red flag? I want good reasons. Not "I'm allergic to them!" or something along those lines. Good, valid reasons. | |

Learn to process information and throw out the comments which are trash. Do you really have enough spare room in your brain to hold onto crap like this ?
Jeez - it's requires the same amount of processing power as any generalization, such as people without a car are recovering alcoholics who don't trust themselves to drive ! I mean really, come on. Engage brain. | |

It doesn't help if he also likes to shop and is very neat.
I'm not saying they're right to assume that, I'm just sayin' | |

Seriously? Players usually prefer cats? Because they're less work, thus giving the pimp time to play his games?
I'd say if some women think a single guy with a cat is a red flag, it might be because "dog is man's best friend".
I will say that most guys I know that own a cat are much more sensitive and a bit less masculine than the men I know that have dogs. Using a guy's pet as an excuse to not date him though? I can only understand that if the pet seems scary....snakes, bears, tigers, lions...you know, the kind of wild animals that shouldn't be pets in the first place. | |

I would love to meet someone who has a cat or a dog or any type of pet, that way he would probably understand why I have to make arrangements if I go away because my cat is sick and requires medication twice a day for the rest of her life. It doesn't stop me from living but it means that spontaneous getaways might be a little tricky to arrange. And to me, someone who loves and take care of animal cannot truly be a bad person :) | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 11:12:50 AM | It's just a preferance, really. I guess I'm just not a big animal person, and I find cats in particular creepy and weird and suspicious - like they're always up to something.
I wouldn't say I'd exclude myself from dating a guy with a cat - it just depends on how "into" the cat he was. Like if he liked having it around for the company and just fed it and let it do it's own thing, that'd be fine. But if he talked baby talk to it (like lots of people do with their cat/dog) and let it lick his face . . . yuck - no way. No offense to animal lovers, but that is too mcuh for me.
I would agree that cats do make a guy seem less masculaine than dogs (unless it's a scrappy little purse-sized dog). | |

Yeah, I like most types of dogs but I wouldn't want to kiss a woman who's face was shining with dog slobber ! | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 11:16:40 AM | | ^So you are stereotyping because of the way his animal looks? I wonder what that would be called if you did that say about someone's race? Hmmm ...it's on the tip of my tongue. Help me out will ya? | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 11:36:24 AM | I grew up with cats and have two of my own. Despite what people say, they are sociable, friendly and great companions. Unlike people, they don't judge me on my looks, my height, my bank balance, my perceived success, my skin colour, the size of my house or what car I drive.
I come with two cats and that's not negotiable. If a woman wants to judge me on that without even knowing me then that's quite a useful way of filtering out stupid women.

That's the sort of thing I'd expect to hear from a blonde 14 year old girl who has no idea what masculinity means.
Kindness and compassion to all animals, and not being afraid to show it is a sign of a true man. | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 12:38:16 PM | | I have a cat and it doesn't make me less manly, she was starving and I have a soft spot for strays. My cat does her thing and I do mine, we have an agreement. | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 12:39:43 PM | Eh, to each his own. I'm not going to apologize for my perceptions or opinions. This is a free country: if you like and want pets, have them (whatever kind). If not, then so be it. That's why I said I wouldn't automatically exclude myself from dating a guy with a cat. I have my opinions, but I am also open to different experiences and not closed off to the possibility of things/people being different from they seem.
And whoever equated my opnion on cats to judging someone on their race, that's a FAAAAAAR strectch - like saying that someone who doesn't care for pizza hates Italians. Bet you're someone who likes to throw out the "homophobic" card a lot too! | |

you're right on the money. when i had a dog, i would drink bourbon, ride a harley and beat up queers for fun. then the dog died and a neighborhood cat adopted me, and now i drink umbrella c0ckails, drive a miata and hit on queers for fun.
i'm also planning to head to the pet store today for a gerbil. since pets are destiny, you know what that means. | |
