    There is a Russian proverb that says "The man who loves cats will love his wife."

    My guy rescued his own cat from a canyon and then rescued another one for me as well. Dogs require a lot of maintenance and they're loud, birds require carefully calibrated social care, and fish/reptiles are more decorative than anything. How could you blame someone for wanting a fuzzy, clean, quiet little buddy around?

    Wait. What? Why is a guy that owns a cat any stranger than a guy who owns a dog???

    I don't think it's weird.

    People who like animals are generally compassionate, warm, etc.

    As of right now, almost of quarter of the people who answered the poll chose "Yes, it's weird", but the majority of the written replies are from people who say they don't think it's weird at all.

    I'd really like to hear some feedback from the people who think it's strange for a single guy to have a cat. Not so I can disagree or attack or anything - it's a completely subjective thing. I'm just really curious to hear why that would strike someone as strange. This is such a bizarre question to me.

    I have my cat since 2006, and flew her from Holland to South East Europe with me, and now i am married, and still have my cat, I love my cat, she has a great relationship with my dog also. Only when she sits on my keyboard when I go for a coffee outside is not so cool, come back and my whole system is deleted. And she still sits there licking her paws on my keyboard

    As someone who's obsessed with her cat, it would be a definite bonus if a guy I met had a cat. Because it shows he's a decent guy and is caring and compassionate, and is good with animals. Plus, he would be understanding about my own cat's craziness. Not that guys without cats are automatically bad guys or anything, but a guy that hates animals sets off major alarm bells for me.

    Cat guys tend to be shy/sweet/sensitive types of guys. So if that's your type that you'd like a guy with a cat. A lot of women want the more macho, man-of-action type of guy. In that case, look for a guy with a dog. It just depends on your tastes. But to say it's weird to have a cat as a guy is just crazy.

    Cats are also useful for rodent control. I used to have an issue with mice making nests in cars stored for the winter. Now with two 'rescue cats', not so much... But yeah, dude with only one cat, there is a stigma there...

    It wouldn't be weird. In the long term it could be a "deal breaker" for me as I have a large dog who chases cats. I've got her to leave my cat alone, but I was a process (now the cat chases the dog around and it's super adorable cause my dog is a 50lb Siberian husky mix and she is a TINY three legged calico kitty). My cat also doesn't like other cats, so with those two things combined living with a guy who has a stranger cat would be nearly impossible.

    So it's not weird, but it could be a deal breaker! Ha.

    I just don't see why anyone would think its weird. On the other hand Id like to see a poll on what people think of a potental relationship with someone who had reptiles or spiders.

    But what IS the stigma?
    In this line of thought, what does a single dude being a cat owner say about that guy that would make you* not want to be around him?

    Yeah, that is a very strange deal breaker. Your friend must really hate cats or something. I would love to date a guy with a cute pussy. :-P I love dogs too.

    I want a Persian cat myself, when the time is right.

    The neighbors of John Wayne Gacy commented on what a great cat owner he was, ...had matching sweaters for them in the winter....and was seen constantly spending time with them(well, except when he was raping and killing 33 boys and burying them in his crawl space). But other than that.....yes...caring and compassionate.
