Sorry, Fido, It’s Just a Guy Thing
NYT ^ | October 3, 2008 | ABBY ELLIN

IF you ask Adam Fulrath who is the love of his life, he will barely blink an eye before responding: Parappa.

Mr. Fulrath, a 37-year-old design director at Time Out New York, keeps five photographs of Parappa, a shorthaired, bicolored, mixed-breed cat, on his desktop. He knows that it might be considered a little weird that a grown man would be so enamored with his kitty, but Mr. Fulrath, who is into video games and comic books and calls himself a “straight, geeky guy,” doesn’t care.

“She’s my primary relationship,” he said.

Mr. Fulrath is one of a growing number of single — and yes, heterosexual — men who seem to be coming out of the cat closet and unabashedly embracing their feline side. To that end, they are posting photographs and videos of their little buddies on YouTube and on Web sites like menandcats.com, and Twittering about them to anyone who will listen.

Excellent as usual Jack. I look forward to your words.

I am a cat guy, a dog guy and a horse guy. When I get enough money, I plan to be an Alpaca guy.

Cats are endlessly fascinating.

Precious!

My kitties have been a great source of calm and fun during these rather trying times.
