Cat Guy Week

First Posted: 02/09/11 03:47 PM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 07:30 PM ET

The bond between a cat and a man is often overlooked in favor of the dog-man pairing, but not this week. Cat Guy Week from February 7-13 honors all men who go against the grain when it comes to their choice of house pet: "...you might think these men to be on the softer side, but truth is they are anything but. They are some of the most manliest, most rugged, most testosterone-filled individuals on the planet. This week we celebrate Cat Guys and hope to add to their ranks." Much Love Animal Rescue and LA Animal Services are offering discounted cat adoptions for $50 in honor of all Cat Guys.

We want to celebrate Cat Guys too, and if you're one or know someone who is, add your photos of a guy and his cat to our slideshow!

Hilarious, this mindset that there's something "questionable" about guys who have cats.

"Real Men" can only have certain types of pets. They can only wear certain colors. They can only like certain types of music, movies, television shows, etc.

"Real Men" sound pretty insecure about their masculinity, since pretty much everything threatens it.

There IS something questionable.

WHY?
Because a cat is not masculine, just by it's LOOKS & that awful WHINING.
It personalizes everything/every quality/every trait – that I detest in PEOPLE.

I wouldn't even date a woman who has a cat.

Too close to "Shades of Spectre"; now if only more like "Ellery Queen..."

I am a definite cat guy. I have always had a connection with cats. That's why I am now a cat-only Veterinarian in Roswell, GA. I do feel a special connection with all the other cat guys I see professionally.

I guess I have the best of both the dog and cat worlds. I have a cat who often behaves like a dog. She follows me around and must be in my presence all of the time or she isn't happy. She loves to play fetch and other little games. She can't get enough petting and loving. She just wants more more more all of the time. She sleeps at my feet and sometimes in the crook of my arm. I can pick her up, whirl her around, and do most anything with her because she knows I would never hurt her. She allows me to trim her nails without a hint of protest. She's always trying to lick me. Unlike a dog, she hates to ride in cars even if I hold her. She just freaks at that. I think she's afraid that I'm not going to take her back home. She's a rescue cat from a breeder who didn't want her. She is a full-blooded ocicat. An amazing cat is Neferkitty. A true queen of cats, if there ever was one.

At least cats don't poop/pee anywhere and just leave it, they at least try to cover it..

I've had cats and dogs and I've found most guys that have dogs like dogs because they cater to you and make you feel you're in charge.....cats are independent and independent type guys like them quite often for this reason... besides they're furry and pleasant to pet.......not hairy as most dogs are.
