An online movement of men is shrugging off the stereotype that 'cats are for girls' and flaunting their affinity for kitties, writes Hayley Gleeson. And they're giving others permission to embrace a gentler, more thoughtful kind of masculinity.
Myles Loughran is a cat man. 'Cat man' as in, 'cat lady', but with a Y-chromosome. Put another way, Mr Loughran is a man who likes cats as opposed to a man who likes dogs, say, or miniature pigs.
"There's something about cats," the 29-year-old co-owner of Cat Cafe Melbourne tells ABC News.

What these people really need is an antidote for toxoplasma gondii. Crazy cat ladies have ruled this country for quite long enough.
“An online movement of men is shrugging off the stereotype that ‘cats are for girls’ “
There are actually bored people that think this?
Get whatever pet you want, dude.
Always one of my favorites.
I told my wife we can get a cat for the house, when they clone and bring back the saber toothed tiger. Until then, no sale.
I like my cat. He’s a thug.
If you use a big word like smilodon, she’ll love you for it ...
Does that make you bi-petual?
But “THIS” story is “real news” in the “real media” .. and MUST push any mentioin of Hillary’s hundreds of millions from foreign corporations, Russian corporations, and gay-killing, women-oppressing Muslim right off the front page, middle page, and bottom-wiping page!

A good way to carry liberals as well.
The premise of this article is just bizarre.
“Toxic masculinity”
3rd wave (new) feminist term to demonize male attitudes and behavior with the goal of making men act like women.
What bulls***! The type of pet a guy has doesn’t make him a macho or a wuss-upbringing does that...
MrT5 and my 1st husband liked both large dogs and cats-both definitely steeped in toxic masculinity blue collar type guys who served in the military. My orange mostly-Persian cat, Titus was MrT5’s fav pet-Titus is a dedicated lapcat. Most of the guys I work with have cats-some of them-including the contractor I work for-have photos of their cats and dogs on their phones and like to show them to everyone on the jobsite-they are tough redneck construction types-real macho guys-not neutered metrosexuals...

“Real men love pussies.
Some even like to grab them.”
Ain’t nothing wrong with grabbing them...most of us have done that - at some point.
