I love my cats and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Since the first time that Nina, as a kitten, jumped up on my lap, meowed a greeting and curled up on my chest, purring, I've been utterly lost.

I was on SSN 652 out of Pearl in the early 70's. I have 5 cats and say "Don't trust anyone who hates cats"
I was a Torpedoman's Mate on the Kamehameha out of Holy Loch in the early '80's.
I have always loved cats. My aunt and uncle who babysat for me when I was only few months old had four cats, so I think I got used to their smell and having warm balls of fur around. Apparently one of the females used to lay in my crib with me because she figured out she would get more pets by drafting off of my cute baby-ness. I mean, who can resist petting a cat when they see that cat acting like a mother to a human baby? Besides the pictures of me in the delivery room, me being snuggled with that cat is the first picture taken of me.
I do have to say, I'm not just a cat person. I like dogs almost as much with the only downside being I have a sensitive nose and dogs can get pretty stinky, I'm very partial to guinea pigs and dwarf hamsters since my dad's cat allergies and mom's aversion to dogs meant they were all I could keep, and there really isn't any animal I don't like and find fascinating. I grew up in a somewhat rural area of Michigan so I got my exposure to wild animals as well as horses and goats from the local farms and they're all awesome.

I'm a huge cat loving guy. I've been around cats pretty much my entire life, as my mother was a cat lover and had many cats despite my father's dislike for them.
To be honest I love most animals and have had dogs, turtles, birds, rodents, and some reptiles as well. But I'm definitely first and foremost a cat man.

TM3 here. Went in at 17, in 1971. Some of the best and worst times of my life. Went to boot and TM school in Orlando.
"Torpedomen have bigger weapons" I would severely hurt anyone I caught harming my cats.
My ex was a dog person and couldn't understand that she couldn't call the cat and have it come to her like her parent's dogs would.

As long as no one will hug me for it, I'll gladly admit to being a cat guy. Would that make me catty?

If that makes you catty, then I guess all of us are.
There aren't too many of us TMs around anymore; TMs have been turned into MMs, unbelievable!
My cats often come when I call, it just depends on their mood at the time.
Haha that perfectly sums up all cat behavior.
Ah, yes!!! That is why I love cats so much. They are so independent, yet so affectionate when they want to be.

I am sure that many of the men on this forum have military experience. My brother-in-law is a Navy vet and a cat lover, too. My neighbor has 7 dogs and 4 cats, and we go to the range at the same time. There are many lifestyles represented here, but all of us love cats.
I'm relatively new to cats, having gotten mine only 4 years ago. My family had a poodle growing up, but I had no pets at all 'till my wife bought Ninotchka with some bonus money from her work. She had Russian Blues as a girl and wanted another one, so that's why we went the "breeder" route. I've always liked animals, generally, but the first time Ninotchka jumped on my lap, announced herself with a little meow, snuggled into my chest and purred, I was utterly lost. I can't imagine living without them, now.
:lol3: They have that power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol3:

Come on, guys.. Man up and let us here know you love cats. You know you want to.
Good to see there are more male members here on the site, I don't understand why there aren't more men on the site.
You're glad there's more but you wonder why there aren't more?
