I have a theory about men who don't like cats. It is unscientific since I am not a professional (though I DID stay at a Holiday Inn last night). I believe those with low self esteem resent the ability of our felines to be apologetically self assured. Others might envy their physically ability. How many men do you know who can with no running start jump straight up 4-5 times their own height? How many men possess the balance to literally run the length of a fence top which is only a half inch wide? There are more but that illustrates my point.
Good points, Jim. I also think there is a bit of control freak issue involved. You can't make a cat do something it doesn't want to do, and that seems to bother some men more than women.

Nancy, I agree, I think some men want to control almost Everything in their orbit, also a cat will never afford them the slavish devotion offered by a dog.

There are control freaks on both sides of the equation, hasn't anything to do with cat/dog ownership, I know a former fiance of mine was a cat owner and he was complete control freak, trait didn't show up till after the ring and his need to control was one of the reasons I broke off the engagement. Masculinity self assuredness no connection either, pure nonsense. I would question having to justify ownership either way to begin with.

A dog will go to whoever gives it food.
A cat will only go to those who gives it food it has a fancy for, and that might not be the same food as it had a fancy for yesterday!

I didn't know someone had a cocker spaniel named after Helen Mirren. Hmmm. Interesting choice, Ralphy.

Hijacked for sure, but to be honest, it wasn't all that serious to start with.
Post another funny meme and we'll return to the straight and narrow path. Scouts' honour.

Yikes, Jim! Shall DW, Ralphy, and I stand in the corner? Lol.
What a good girl! My kiddo hunts me down in the room I'm in and gives a quiet mew. When I follow him to see what he wants, he sits by the back door looking at me, and gives another little mew.

Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.
