I’ve known a lot of real men that liked/had cats. My dad used to be known as “cat man”.
Then there’s a few like this guy I had gone out with a few times. One night, I said I needed to get going as I had to buy cat food on the way home. He was unpleasantly surprised I had cats and told me how much he hated them. I lost interest and never went out with him again.
“never went out with him again.”
good for you!
I think how people treat animals is a indication of their character.
