Should Single Men Own Cat(s)?

[BEAVER]

This topic came up at the bar last night.

My take - Single guy owning a cat = Beta and should not happen.

There are some extenuating circumstances by which one might end up with a cat. Dead Wife, Girlfriend, Mom, Sister.

But if a single guy actually makes the effort to get a cat as a pet? Unacceptable.

I knew the final word could be found here on CP. This place is a bastion of what is right.

It's a valid question. In my experience single dudes with cats are rare but I'm sure they have good reasons... like being gay for example (nttawwt)

Wife mentioned getting one and I told her I’d shoot it the moment it entered the home

Every young man should have a cougar or two.

Also true. Glad the neighbor has one, keeps mice down to about zero

You're pretty cool, man

Nobody SHOULD own a cat. They're awful pets.

Agreed on rodents, but how do they control insects? Is that due to the lack of rodents?

Yep. They're useful for ridding your property of pests. That's a working animal, not a pet. And that's all they're good for.

I think every young man should own a harem of 20-50 women. Different ethnicities, but all 8's and above. No hairy under-armed smelly tree-hugger chicks. And no fatties.

I have no idea why this concept isn't way more popular.

They're good for keeping foxes, coyotes and owls well fed.

I have zero interest in owning any pet. To whoever owns a pet, just take care of them. Don't be a bad person.

I never had a cat as a pet until I was almost 60 years old. I still have a red heeler as well. I have discovered that cats have extremely varied personalities and can be very entertaining. Mine head-butts me when I ignore it. The fact that women, including my "war department" seem to like cats is only a bonus.
