Okay, listen, we are aware of that study that came out a while ago that claimed that men who pose with cats on their dating profiles are less likely to get dates, but we simply refuse to believe it! It doesn't make sense to us! Men plus cats, to us, seems like the most wholesme and awwdorable thing in the world. Have you seen those posts of 'tough' guys showing their love for kitties on TikTok? Have you seen our collection of giant men being totally smitten for itty bitty kittens? Have you seen those? Well, if you haven't, then you cannot claim that men plus cats are not purrfect, because you'd be wrong. 

But, out of all of those, our favorite type of post when it comes to men + kitties is the following: men who didn't want cats totally falling in heckin' love with them. They can act all tough as much as they want to, but when those kitties sit on the palms of their hands for the first time, look up at them with those giant eyes, and purr, it's game over.

    Natural environment - ruby @roobeekeane Replying to @roobeekeane more Dad Who Didn't Want Cats: 1) holding an umbrella over them while they sit on the shed 2) making them a sandpit and a paddling pool (he walks them on harnesses because we live near a big road and he's scared they'll get run over) 4,105 3:30 PM - Dec 12, 2019 547 people are talking about this

    Really, the thing that gets us the most about these posts is how much effort these men 'who didn't want cats' are willing to go through for them. Like- they could just begrudgingly accept these cats' existence in their households, not having much contact with them, but instead, they come out and hold umbrellas over them.

    Cat - 8 Leslie Burrows My dad hates cats, but every weekend he asks if I am bringing Moose over to watch the squirrels and Parking Wars. Apparently that is their show to watch on Saturday's.

    Yet another example of what we said in the previous picture. You don't have to go to so much effort, my dude, but you do - these men do every single time. And every single friggin' time, it's the most awwdorable thing that we have ever seen. Every time.

    Shoulder - Amber Michelle My boyfriend wasnt a cat person, never had them, never liked him. Then he moved in with me, a crazy cat lady, and now he has to carry HIS cat into the bathroom every night to show her herself in the mirror (also despite her disgruntled expression, she would NEVER let me carry her around but she just sits there in his arms)
