This is completely un-scientific, but this poll on petplace.com asks the question “Do you think men that own cats are more compassionate and likely to understand women?” 87% answered yes. Although something tells me that those answering the poll are 99% women who have cats.
actually, the biggest jerks i’ve dated have been cat lovers to the extreme.
Mebbe, mebbe not. All I know is all the men in my family, to my knowledge, love cats. They’re pretty good guys, I’d say. And maybe there are some cat lovers who are “jerks”, but I’ve never met one.
Lenin was fascinated by watching his cat play
Actually, the coolest boyfriends I’ve dated have been cat lovers and they were never mean…
All the men I’ve know, who actually love cats in a real way (not just watching them play or treating them like toys) have been pretty compassionate people. Now, that said, it does not mean they are perfect. Compassion does not equal perfection. A compassionate man may just as quickly cheat on you (example) because he is swept away by his compassion for someone else.. But typically, if a guy is willing to love cats–an intricate species that requires time and devotion, he will usually be open emotionally (or poetic and sappy). However, a man’s man–in my opinion, seems like he is unwilling to like cats or is unwilling to admit it because everyone knows Men love dogs. right?
just a long thought.. because I know a lot of men who loves cats and they are all very different, yet they do seem to have figured something out.. lol
