I told him that I LOVE him all the more BECAUSE he loves the cats and dotes over them! (I`m the one who REALLY counts in his book, of course!)
Can you believe that anyone would say such a thing? GO FIGURE!

That is by far the STUPIDEST thing I have ever heard!!! When did your favorite animal/pet rate how "Manly" or how "Womanly" you are?!

I think that the overwhelming consesus around here is that men who like cats are not a bit less manly if they prefer the feline persuasion- just smarter

When we first got our furbabies my hubby was so touched that they were so little and so cute that we just stood hugging and looking at them. I think it's very brave for a man to admit that he loves animals and also I love him more for that.
