'I found out how my roommate treats my cats when I’m not home': Woman catches her 30-year-old “tough guy” roommate going full softie and baby-talking her cats despite always being aloof around them

Macho on the outside, a softie who baby-talks at your cats behind your back on the inside. The cutest 30-year-old tough-guy roommate.

A part of you always worries about the way that your roommates treat your cats when you're not there. You're afraid of the worst. Because you're the internet, and you have seen the worst. You have seen roommates steal cats, locking them in their rooms. You have seen roommates mistreat cats and expect you to take care of them. You have seen roommates allow cats to escape and then act like they didn't do anything all that wrong. And then, something good happens with your cat and roommate, and somehow, that is way more shocking than the other stuff.

Having a manly, macho 30-year-old man roommate who is indifferent to your cats kind of seems like a good deal in comparison to all of the other things that we have seen. Indifference is not positive, maybe, but it's certainly not negative either. Catching that manly macho man baby-talking at your cats behind your back when he thinks that you are not home to see it, shocked into stillness when he sees you looking… yeah, that's much better. We wish all roommates were like this dude.

Sigh. Truly, we don't know what it is about macho men that makes them think cooing at kittens is unmanly. Everyone coos at kittens. Because it's impossible not to. If he legitimately felt indifferent or cold about the cats, that would be the strange thing. Men who love cats are the best kind of men, and we will stand by that statement until the very end. He seems like a genuinely wholesome dude. We approve.

And there you have it. The cats. You have looked at the pictures. You have seen the cuteness. You want to tell us that there is someone out there who would withstand cuteness like this? Who would not aww at it? Who would not go straight into baby-voice? We don't think that such a thing is possible. If we were living with these cats, you would catch us cooing at them about 2 million times a day. On average.
