Men and their cats!

There is a pretty cool thread on another cat board where women are sharing photos of the men in their lives with the cats in their lives. I thought it would be neat to see what you might have to contribute here. I'll start- this is hubby Mike and Tums- since this picture, I am proud to say Mike has lost 100 pounds but thankfully he has not lost his love for cats!

Wow!!!!!!!!! He lost 100 lbs!!! That had to take alot of work!!!!! I am impressed!!!


Here are two pics of my hubby with Merlin......he babies him even more than I do, and he was never a cat lover until he fell in love with Merlin...he always said, "We will NOT have any cats in the house, they pee on the carpet, they claw up the furniture, they destroy a house .....blah, blah, blah......." And that is why I am so filled with joy when I see him with Merlin, and how he treats him, because this is a man who never liked cats very much, and now he just loves Merlin, and he would probably cry if something happened to him (macho image be damned)

The way it happened was because Merlin was abandoned by his mother, and terrorized to the point of shock by a dog, and all his brothers and sisters were killed....I found Merlin in the shed, ( only a few weeks old) shaking, scared half to death, and starving......I took him in the house, much to hubby's protests.
Hubby first said, "Get that cat out of the house....I said no cats in the house"

I told him basically to kiss my hiney, the cat was staying until it got strong enough, and able to be back outside.

He wasn't very happy with that, but he dealt with it.

Then when Merlin finally got stronger, and was starting to play, Brent kinda liked playing with him....he loved it when Merlin "attacked" him....and then he started saying how smart Merlin was, and then Merlin started cozing up to him, and sleeping on him at night, and pretty soon....guess who's baby Merlin was?? :laughing:

NOW...Brent watches the window for Merlin, (he's an indoor/outdoor cat) and when Merlin is out there and wants in, he jumps on the window sill, and who do you think is the first one to run to the door to let him in????

And when we have anything for supper involving hamburger, brent saves part of his so he can feed it to Merlin (who LOVES hamburger) :laughing:

What a sucker!!!! :laughing2 He babies Merlin more than I do!!!!!!!! Here are some pics of him with Merlin......I am so proud when I see them together, because of the change Merlin made in Brent's heart towards cats!!!! ( he adores Merlin now!!!)

I will have to post the pics in the next two posts.

Well crap....I tried to post the pics of hubby with merlin, but it won't let me because it says I have already posted them on the catsite. So..I guess I can give you the link to the pics if you want to see them...

Earl was holding and loving Ophelia this weekend and it was just too cute not to get a pic. He is the only person that Ophelia lets pick her up, let alone love her like this. She is definitely Daddy's Girl.

This is Bill, explaining to Ike, why HE can't sit on Bill's lap!

I've got like a zillion pics of the babies, and a few with Mike holding them... but this is my favorite

This is my MOST FAVORITE pic of Mike and Jedi!

Great pics everyone. Dan loves to play with the cats' feet. Here he is with Molly.

Faile is not as easy to cuddle. She starts to squirm or growl if we hold her too long. Here she is with Dan. Notice the annoyed look in her eye.

NEVER trust a man, who doesn't like cats!

Okay here is Pete with Tatyana and Pete with Piglet. I also took the one of him washing the dishes last night and told him I was going to post the pic (much to his horror) to show that real men do wash dishes LOL!!! He is so good to put up with a house full of cats and also lend a hand, even with working 2 jobs. Thanks Honey!

Leslie, Great pics! Speaking of, when are we going to see more of Amy's babies? I am in kitten withdrawal.

katl8e, too true!

hubby hates having his pic taken so no pics of him with or without kitties! Love everyone's pics.

Leslie - tell Pete hubba hubba with the bathrobe!

Any Canadian that says Hubba Hubba is trouble...no matter how polite they are!

Kassandra! I use all kinds of fun terms like hunkydorry, brouhaha, tippietop etc. It is habit! And you have to admit hubba hubba is appropriate!

I'm embarressed! Thanks Bundy!!

I'll be hiding down a drain and won't be coming out for some time. Imagine everyone seeing those photos!
