It's always the ones who protest the most that fall the deepest in love. Insisting for years that he will never live with his girlfriend's cat because he "has allergies" and he's "never liked cats", she slowly watches their relationship grow into a bromance that will go down in history as the cutest cat-dad relationship ever.

Bromances have been a part of hooman relationships since the beginning of time, but only recently have we had a word to describe them. Men aren't known for being the most emotionally open with their male friends, as many of us were still raised with the "real men don't cry" method of teaching. Expressing your feelings as a man, especially to other men, was seen as a sign of weakness. Men don't feel things; they act.

Maybe this is why men have resisted loving cats for so long. Cats require you to be patient and listen to the feline's subtle language to understand what it wants, whereas dogs are more direct in their communication. When a dog wants something, it barks or alerts you to the problem. A cat can do the same, but mostly, they require a purrfectly nuanced understanding of feline body language. It already sounds kind of gendered, doesn't it? Men act, and so do dogs. Cats listen, and think, and so do women.

However, all of this changed with bromances. Men have become more willing to express themselves to each other, even daring to say "I love you". To us, it's purrfectly natural, but we understand that everyone has their own journey to go through. Our journey today involves two men, but one has two legs, and the other, four, and lots of "I love you"s.

He (the boyfriend) resisted loving his girlfriend's cat for as long as he could. He always said that if they moved in together, she would have to get rid of him. Well, she watched that barrier break down, and his love for her cutie-patootie cat grow day after day. He went beyond saying "I love you" to this Siamese cat - he got them matching shirts with each other's faces on them. That's one relationship full of love, and we can safely say that that silly Siamese isn't going anywhere.

Siamese cats truly are creatures of their own kind. Sure, they're cats, but they're also very dog-like. They love to play, they love people even more, and they're very vocal. They will talk your ear off, especially if you're doing something that bothers them. Smart and curious, these kitties are truly ameowzing companions!
