Famous Men Who Love Cats: James Franco

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

Recently, I read somewhere (sorry, I can’t remember exactly where, in some magazine) that the actor James Franco loves cats. Lo and behold, apparently James Franco features cats in many of his videos – this one features him and his brother holding two of their cats at the end. He was also featured in the Chicago Meow blog’s “15 famous cat lovers.”

A movie full of cat-loving men

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Recently, my husband I saw the movie Get Him to the Greek, and I feel compelled to point out that the movie is full of cat-loving men! Not that the movie features cats or men loving cats in any way, but the star of the movie is noted ailurophile Russell Brand, and it also has a cameo by everyone’s favorite economist/cat-lover, Paul Krugman. But what about the movie’s other star, Jonah Hill? Well, I think this video of him frolicking with kittens proves he’s a cat-lover, too!

So, Menandcats.com gives this film two paws up for 1.) being very funny and highly entertaining and 2.) featuring several famous men who love cats!

Jack Kerouac and his cat

Menandcats.com reader Jessica submitted this picture of Jack Kerouac and his cat. She says it’s on the cover of “The Portable Jack Kerouac.”
So many literary giants – Kerouac, Hemingway, Twain – loved cats! Of course, I think it’s no coincidence that brilliant men love cats.

Paul Krugman & cats

This week’s New Yorker has a profile on economist and NY Times columnist Paul Krugman. Not only is the article a good and interesting read, I was delighted to see this photo of “Krugman and his wife, Robin Wells, at home with their cats, Doris Lessing and Albert Einstein” by Tina Barney.
Smart men love cats!!

Cat-loving man of the week: Ken Wahl

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

According to USA Today, Ken Wahl, “an award-winning Hollywood actor is joining the effort to find whoever glued a cat to a southern Minnesota highway last month.” He will be donating his Golden Globe (won in 1990) to the existing reward fund to go to the person who turns in the cat abuser. USA Today quotes Wahl as saying that “his heart belongs to his main love, Sweetest, a rescue cat from the Stray Cat Alliance.”

What a guy!
