Is your man a softy when it comes to cats?

Yep, big ole' marshmellow.

Kelly - this is where Jake ordered the Yankee bed - he sent the photo to the woman who made it - yes, her name is Kellye!!!! Its not me! She will make beds for your pets in your favourite team's colours or cover - its so worth it, Peedoodle sleeps on it almost every day!

I'm so lucky my boyfriend shares the same passion for animals as me!

Ummm, not really. But, Mittens is his cat now... They secretly love each other....

No, not really. He is closer to the horses and dogs. But he does like the boy cats. I grew up with a female cat, and prefer female personalities. But when Garfield jumps on John's lap, and rolls around as he is petted, until he almost falls off, John says this is what a cat is supposed to be like!

And he feeds the ferals when he does the barn chores. He keeps track of who is around, and who goes missing for a day or two. And he knows things about them I never thought about...sometimes it is odd! He knows who sleeps where and which kitty is buddies with the other, and lots of other details.

But we just had a litter, and he hasn't even pet them. I think it is from growing up on a farm. He has affection for animals, and is very responsible with them, but having seen his share of babies come and go, he is less impressed than I am. Also, they never fed their outside cats much, so they had lots of babies that didn't make it. So I think he just learned to wait until they are older to pet them.

It seems so common for guys to be "closet softies" to cats. It took me 28 years to admit it myself.

My BF is not a huge animal lover, but he loves me a whole lot so he tries to be very supportive as I brought 2 kitties into our lives and parade foster kittens through. He is very sweet with our kitties and even helps out with the kittens, and always keeps me company when it is time to give them up. So it works for me.

whan i first me my Husband, he was not really an animal person at all, he even had a sighn on his car that said 'missing your cat? check under my tires'
horrible, i know.

i suspected a softie underneith his macho exterior .

when he first met bonnie he teased her, would say things like 'hey fatty catty' and rub her belly, this soon esculated into playing and long hours of bonnie on my husbands lap getting an extensive brush, something she just loves it wasn't long before they became friends and bonnie would follow him around and sleep near his head at night.

the turning point i guess was after one Christmas when my husband had been drinking a lot i had been on the computer and just thought he was in the shed, after a while i wondered where he was and went to search for him, i didn't have to go far to find him, he was curled up under the pool table with bonnie, sound asleep and they were both snoring.

bonnie is a charmer though and very cute so i knew she's win him over

then we got pandy, by then he liked cats but still kept his tough exterior, soon he gave her a heap of nicknames like bonnie and would carry her around the house while she rubbed her head against his mouth, whenever i'd catch him playing with the cats he'd pretend to tease them again even though he knew he'd been spotted.

so, no, he wasn't a softie but he sure is now



love,

felicia

Mine is a softie!

the horrid sighn somehow went 'missing' some time after him and bonnie became friends

Nathan is inspite of his allergies! He's sad that he's missing so much of Mooch and Noodles growing up right now. I keep assuring him that they will not be full grown when he gets home and still full of energy! I've got some cute pictures of him cuddling them too. And he about went overboard on things for them too! I just love my man!

My husband Paul is a HUGE softie!! He even gives loves to the cats when his buddies are here! Actually all his buddies love our furrless babies too! I remembered why I fell in love with Paul the first time I heard him talk baby talk to Monte when we brought him home........sigh

Softie, definitely! Babycakes, for as long as we've had her, gets the milk left off of his cereal as a treat in the mornings.........lately, he's been eating breakfast at the bakery, so she has been missing her treat.....one night last week we had cereal for a bedtime snack......she jumped up on the couch arm and was mooching his milk....when he didn't get done fast enough, she stuck her furry lil' head in his bowl and started drinking! He never said a word, just let her have it, lol!!


That made me laugh really hard!!!!


I got Cj for support right before I started going though a really bad breakup. So I dont have any men in my life except for cj, and he is a my softie. I have brought a couple of guys over and one was playing with cj with my laser pointer and acted like he was going to shine it in his eyes, I told him to stop it and he was like why, its not going to hurt him. I told him I would shine it in his eyes see if he likes it, and he told me to calm down, he's "just a cat". Needless to say I didnt go on a second date. You dont mess with my baby!

Cj is my baby, my best friend, and my roomie. I am protective of him.

- he told me to calm down, he's "just a cat" -

That type of attitude really annoys me, my cats are like my children

Brandon was never a "cat person" until I flat out told him Baker was coming to live with us. Very long story short, Baker was found as a hurt kitten who did not have much time to live. He thought my Mom would take him, until I fell in love. Baker was ours.
Until one day Baker was always mine, Brandon wanted nothing to do with a cat. ALL LIES! At one horrible point Baker only had a few days to live. I had never seen Brandon cry before that. Now he has his "Women" Me, Cola and Tango. Baker wants only me So I guess Baker is paying Brandon back but he is now a cat person and I have Baker to thank for that

Hehehehe Yes, yes and yes!! Rune is a complete pushover when it comes to cats! Nicky (maverick_kitten) and I were already talking about how he "ruins perfectly good names" - to use her own words there - when he creates little nicknames for them He's such a softie. If one of the cats are sat on him, he won't move until they do, he'll make sure they've got the best of everything... those cats are spoiled stupid! Apart from with their names... so I guess it balances out There's a cat on the bottom floor of the apartment building that likes to come up and sit in his apartment and be cuddled - and if he finds it outside miaowing at the window of it's home, he'll lift it up and post it through the window, instead of waiting for him to jump!! What a lump of sop!!

Oh, yeah, mine is a huge softie when it comes to the cats, and does not care who knows it. Scooter cuddles with him at night, and he alwyas makes sure his little spot on the bed is just the way Scooter likes it. When we thought we were going to have to put Fred down a few weeks ago, he was more upset than I was. I found him sitting up with Fred, crying, telling him how he had been such a good little friend. If I didn't love him before that, he would have had my heart then.

Oh yes! both our cats know exactly how to get around Doug! He makes them up a bed on the sofa at night, gives them treats, won't move if one of them sits on him! Best of all though, he cleans out the litter tray!!!!! And all this from a man who said to me, years ago, "Oh OK you can have a cat, but don't expect me to have anything to do with it". HA HA! One look at the kitten was all it took to squash that idea! And since then, I've added more and more pets to the household and he loves them all. I don't blame him for his original attitude; he'd had a deprived childhood and had kept no pets of any kind before he moved in with me.

I think mine is in a way, but mostly I think he's a softie for me because he can't stand to see me feeling bad or crying, but he has been wonderful through all the trapping and such, he is a Gem..
