My boyfriend was never a cat guy. Not that he didn't like them.......he just never had one. They had dogs growing up. Well when Taz and I moved in, that all changed. He is definitely a cat guy. Would he have cats if we weren't together? That's a good question. I'm not sure he'd be able to handle cleaning the litter boxes. Sometimes I think he spoils the kitties more than I do.
When I was dating, I never thought it was strange or "wussy" for a guy to have a cat. I thought it was awesome!! Honestly it shows a sensitive side right away that you might have to search harder for in a dog owner or non-pet owner.
