Guy has 3 cats: weird or not?

So... there's this guy.

He has 3 cats.

I find it a little weird. Is it just me?

Guys are supposed to have dogs, sometimes reptiles, but three cats?


Whoa.

Is it my problem or does this guy have a problem?

And yes, he talks about his 3 cats a lot. He gets really defensive if I giggle or make stunned faces when he starts talking about them like people and tells me how much he misses them.


Ha. I just want your opinion.

Am I being a jerk? Or is 3 cats 1 guy just....weird?

If someone was a jerk about my cats (I had 3 until recently), I'd sure as HELL choose my cats over a "possible" relationship with that person.

I don't think the guy is weird at all. My best friend is a guy with 2 cats, but he'd have more cats if he had a bigger place. Cats are great pets

PS--any guy that has a dog over a cat (or 3) because it's "manlier" probably doesn't have any idea what the difference between a manly man and a macho man---and why women choose the manly one over him EVERY time.

Comments on this post
Ren6 agrees: Yep. Choice of pets has zero to do with sexual orientation!
Altenweg agrees: I couldn't agree more. :)
asking agrees: I always thought it was a strange idea that dogs (male and female) are manly and cats (male and female) are feminine? How's that? Are lions unmanly, too?

i don't think it's weird. my brother has 4 cats and i don't think he's weird. i think a lot of guys prefer cats because they are easy to clean up after and they are cute.

Ren6 agrees: Not weird at all, I agree.

Yah, I saw the conversation according to Mud. Clearly, she'd made some commentary to him concerning his affection for his pets. In the end, she insulted him by telling him to go have sex with them. I would choose the cats, too.

Cripes.

I don't mind a man who has a cat... however 3 is a little too much for me. The way he talked to them. Talked about them. Just really creeped me out.

Maybe because I'm used to jerks and a-holes. Who knows. However, I have a cat of my own 3+1=4 and that would be too
many litter box changes and hair all over the place for me.

Anywhozzils we're talking again. We both came to the understanding that his weird relationship with his cats is too much for me [really he's put tuna in his mouth and fed his cats...ISN'T THAT WEIRD?!]. Like I said we made up. We're just friends.

Eek. Some of you make me sound like a total b!tch, but hell at least I don't bullsh!t the truth. A man with three cats in a small apartment is weird. A man with a dog- heck that I like... unless it's a Shih Tzu...or a Poodle.. or a Chihuahua...just any small dogs [I myself dislike small dogs..especially pugs].

Heck at least I'm honest.

I think an obsession of anything is unhealthy, but I learnt along time ago, that one persons normal is anothers freeky

I find it creepy that he feeds his cats that way - I presume at times - I hope at times, but for me its definatly obessive behaviour

Well he's done it once in front of me. He thinks it's a neat trick [eek]. I asked him if he did this often [with a surprised look on my face] and he said "no, not all the time".

Like he is really nice. Probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met or known. There's just some things about him that I can't stomach.

hahhaa, There are times when I feel I have to stick up for this guy, as being a fellow bloke, but then I think, yep, he does ask for a little look and ponder.

It is these types of habits a bloke should keep quiet about until he is married

When I met my late husband I had three big dogs, over 100# pounds each. I didn't treat them like children and they didn't eat of my mouth (eeek!) BUT if they didn't like someone I was dating, I didn't see that person again.

Maybe that's strange. Maybe not. That's how it was.

I had a poodle growing up and two cats.

Every guy I brought over was hated by the poodle. He'd growl or steer clear. The cats would hide.

When I brought hubby over for the first time he accidentally stepped on the poodles paw. Silver (the poodle) yiped but stayed put. R (hubby) picked him up, cuddled him, he was so upset that he'd stepped on Silvers paw. Silver stayed by R's side the entire time he was there. The cats both came to get petted, they never did that with anyone. I knew he was a keeper.

We have 3 dogs and 4 rabbits, a bird and fish. Some people consider us strange because we have a small zoo. Here's the thing. I love animals, so does hubby. There are so many animals out there and not enough homes. I can provide a home, love, a safe environment, so why shouldn't I? We never take on more then we can handle.

I'd have cats, if I could, but, even though everyone in my house loves cats, 3 out of 4 people are very allergic.

animals and kids just pick up on things..

long time ago i was friends with a guy,i was out with my youngest and ran into him,afterwards she said she did not like him,when he did ask me out i said no,just because she said she did not like him!

she said he 'looked' at her,what ever that means to a four year old.

go figure.
