How Many Men Here Like Cats, or Own Their Own Cat?

I'm a dog person......cats as a general rule are just too aloof for me.

Then you should meet and get to know some Maine Coons- they're like huge furry babies. Don't even have to be purebred- mine haven't been- the MC characteristics are much different from 'plain cats.' :)
 

I used to be a dog person, but I've changed in my old age. I like cats because of their independent spirit. I never had a cat until about 2004 when we bought our last house in Florida and sort of inherited "Miss Kitty" who the former owners left behind. I really got attached to her and cried for the first time in many years when she got cancer and we had to put her down. She was 15 years old. I guess Miss Kitty kind of turned me into a cat person although I don't have or want another pet. I just don't want the responsibility.

My cousin has one. It is one really cool looking cat. And she is very timid for a cat.

We have Canines, Felines, Avians, and Reptilians, 11 in all!

Here are 3 of our 5 Desert Tortoises. (they are NOT Turtles)

Our Calico cat "Annie" likes to cuddle with dogs.

Cats AND Dogs like to cuddle with me!

Lovely animals Hal. I have never seen a tortoise before. Whenever I had a Tortie/Calico cat, they loved dogs also. I only have two cats, condo Gestapo won't permit more animals. Not supposed to have as large a balcony garden either, however, I believe forgiveness is easier to get than permission. Make them say no. Lulz. Redheaded rebel without paws!
 
Beautiful cats there Trade, thanks for posting! Hal, great pics of you and your pet family, good to see the love, thanks. :)

My Friend Shalimar:

Tortoises are Terrestrial (land only) Reptiles. Put one in a pan with 4 inches of water and it will drown.

Turtles, on the other hand, are Aquatic reptiles and live happily in and under water!

Merci, Hal. They are beautiful creatures. So stately and peaceful. I love their claws. I think I would enjoy the meal in your picture.
 
I am definitely a cat man, here is my Joey when he was a kitten

Unfortunately we moved to a house behind a railway track and last September Joey got hit by a train :( I haven't got another cat yet, don't know if I can go through that again.

Lovely cat! I understand your reluctance to get another, it is always so hard to lose a beloved pet. However, they bring such joy into our lives, and there are so many shelter cats needing a good home. My cats are indoor animals, have you considered that option?
 
Maine Coons are the most beautiful cats in the world imo; related to the Norwegian Forest cat but much bigger. I wish I could afford one and not risk it escaping when I open my condo door.
