It used to be said that women love cats and men love dogs – a stereotype that had been around for decades. So much so that if a woman prefers dogs, or a man that loves cats, well, they must have some major gender issues.
Today though, thankfully, this is no longer the case and men are happy to share their love of cats on social media and not be recriminated for it.
“Cat Dads” are on the rise, a man who earns a cat’s love is said to understand and appreciate a woman’s love. They are sensitive, deep and caring, and much more fanciable than those adventurous dog type guys.
If you’re not sure what we mean then take a look at this adorable photo-set of cute cats and their dads and judge for yourself.
No matter what side of the fence you stand on in the great cat/dog divide, there’s something about seeing a man and his cat sharing a moment together that is oh-so-appealing.
