I know there are a few I missed
There's a couple more guys who mostly post in IMO, and I think there's a few on here that the husbands/boyfriends have joined too, but don't post very often.

I would encourage my husband to join, but I'll spare everyone. He is a cat lover though, he's never had the choice.
I tend to show him interesting or funny posts.

most guys have more things to do then talk about cats i think. We tend to just read and move along. At least that is what i used to do until my job, blocked some of the other forums i used to read and mod.

let face it women do tend to be soical on whole then men i think.

This reminded me of a card I seen a couple years ago. It had a picture of a tiger cat on the front and said "There are two types of people in the world. Cat people.... " inside said " and idiots".
I really wish I had bought it.

Funny thing is that most of my online friends that I've known for several years are all guys - they chat more than I do. Stranger yet, one has two cats, one would have cats but leaves the country too often, one has a cat and plans to get another, one recently lost a much beloved cat (grew up with it) to FIP - I believe, and that last one wants a cat because he's never had a pet before and thinks cats would be a nicer pet then a dog would be.

Of the two women I know, one lost her 17 year old cat recently to renal failure, and the other has two cats.

... Of everyone I know, all but one has had, has, or wants a cat. The one that doesn't is severely allergic.

Anyone who knows their way around the internet probably knows what Caturday is...
So I think it isn't so much that female to male ratio (here) is misrepresented, but maybe that all the cat people are online?

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
There's also Keith P, StefanZ, and RobDog - but when they post, it's usually in the ferals forum.


My hubby joined six years ago (Shelly's Dad) - posted a couple of times and that was it. Got into a fight with most of the board about dealing with someone that "had to" euthanize her two kitties because she had to move and couldn't find a new place quick enough that would take cats - and they would never be happy unless they were with her. Everyone decided he wasn't nice enough to play at TCS.

most of the guys i know have cats, or cats and dogs both.
As i have said many times, i would love a dog, if i was able to take care of one.

i asked around are IT deparment one day, and only 6 people here did not have cats. None said they hated cats.
One women loved cats but they made her break out.

i think most guys just are not going to post on a pet forum. i got bored into posting here

I think men are on sites devoted to sports, gaming, or gambling.

With a cat on their lap.

Female here not like its hard to tell by my name
and as most of you know I am pregnant. Like to see a man pull that one off!


Most the the guys I know "hate" cats. Then they come over and spend most of there time playing with my cats. I think it is just a stereotype that men own dogs and women own cats.

Click on "Thread Tools" near the top of the page and you should be able to add a poll that way

As I have been trying to leave the country for the last couple of months, I don't post much.
