are cats not manly?

[daviejjd]

well try telling a lion he's a girl

 

[FallenRainbows]

Well it Chloé with all the dogs, and we want to get dogs when we live together. I have cats atm, they are a bit dull though... But on topic, no not really, trust me lads, she IS a girl.

It really depends on what you call your cat, if you call it Sparta that's manly. But calling it Princess Fluffle Sparkle Kitty, that's not manly. That's hilarious =D

.

"hey little kitty what is with all the fight?"

we started with two cats.
Panic and Fable. Fable was just a cool name and Panic got the name because he is a a coward. Panic often gets called "Panic the Cat", and i really don't know why.

Then we found the dying kitten in our parking lot that we rescued and named Voltaire, we have had him over a year now and he only let us start touching him a little while ago.

Later we got two more kittens, we were able to find a home for one, but got stuck with the other, which we named Darwin. We later discovered that Darwin was a girl so now her name is Echo.

Spoiler: Are you saying this is not manly?

 

[Stalk3rchief]

Dude no way.
I'm a crew member for a heavy metal band, and I have a fucking cat.
My cat is metal, and owning a cat is just brutal.
Plus all you have to do is throw them in a box once and they know where to shit, less mess.

It was a cliche from grade school where boys had dogs and girls had cats, we never questioned why, we were 8 we never questioned anything. But this is 2009, the age of the internet and lolcats and youtube. Do people still honestly think that a person's choice in pets may risk betraying their gender?

Never heard that cliche before. I'm male and I don't care what people say; life without cats ain't no life at all. And that's a fact!

Cats are not manly, as a famous comedian once said "People can tell 2 things if your a single guy with a cat, either your gay, or your a villan"

 

[A random person]

To anyone who says cats aren't manly I present my cat. He's fought off two dogs bigger than him at once (not my dogs; another cat conditioned them to not chase cats), walks with us whenever we walk the dogs, and while cute like cats are he's rather adventurous (we nicknamed him "ninja kitty" for his tendency to come from nowhere).

Thunder Cats.

Cats are manipulative and evil. Hahahaha. But really, I know men and women who have cats, so I don't think it's so much a natural gender thing so much as it is a societal stereotype.


That said, I prefer dogs. Dogs are loyal. If someone breaks into your house, a cat will look at you and go, "Phhht, whatever. I'm not sticking around for this."

 

[SmartIdiot]

Well... 'feline' isn't too distant from 'feminine'...

 

[Acidwell]

How is that not manly? How! It is so damn cute.

The one in the back looks so pissed off."Would he ever just stop doin this crap its ruining my cool vibe"
OT: hell yeah they are you wouldnt stand a chance even in a car(Avatar)

Dogs are manly?

Find me a 'doodle that exudes manliness.

Dogs are for the most part silly. Unless they are mastiffs. Or trained to bring me beer. I am a cat owner, the internet loves cats, and cats are superior to dogs unless you are a person with no job and you stay at home to take care of the needy thing.

men are silly.

 

[Summerstorm]

Cats are vicious, devious, and willing to claw your eyes out if you don't feed them.
Cats are obviously female.
As a species.

I'm not sure whether I'm complimenting cats, ladies, or neither.

But cats are also independent, can't be trained or taught... Do whatever they want. Pure Willpower... what is more manly than taking no shit from nobody? And small cats get into fights with dogs all the time and win (or go down trying)... that's like... like the 300 Spartans. Yes Cats = King Leonides (without the abs and a bit cuddlier).

 

[Toasty]

ok, this is kinda poor research (gave up reading posts halfway trough page 1), so i might be repeating someone elses words right now, but how can you :
1. Compare big feline predators with the Cat, its like preparing the chihuahua to a timberwolf ?!
2. Use scratching as a way of calling cats masculine, when not a single one of you would (most likely) ever agree to that a human scratching in a fight was acting masculine?

sometimes, i forget why i read forums.

on your secound point: this relates directly to 'cat fight' as a girl thing.

 

[TheMatt]

Cats leave you, go outside, kill something, then bring it to you. Is there a more manly pet?

 

[Woodsey]

Lions are cats. Lions are manly. By that logic, cats are manly.

Going even further; dogs are wolves. And a lion would beat a wolf in a fight.

Therefore when the OP said about the 8 year old boys having dogs, they were all pussies (see what I did there?) and the girls must of all been butch.

 

[Calopolis]

Ever try taking a shower after losing a fight with a cat? Its not a fun experience (It burns like hell!) I've never had a wrestling match with my dog where the pain lasted as long as a fight with my cat.

Yeah cos dogs are friendlier where as a cat doesn't give a damn.

I do own the most manly cat ever mind... he's 25 (at least cos we found him) he's a massive tuxedo cat and he wanders around the street scaring dogs and beating down other cats. not begging food, but racketeering. He eats around 10 times a day.

Cats arent manly, But theyre awesome. Dogs may be manly, But:

Spoiler: Dogs arent really manly either

Piss one off, see how that goes. Dogs will bite, cats will bite and scratch the hell out of you.

Case closed.

Face it just cause a lion is manly does not mean a cat is (seeing as we seem to be meaning housecats). Also, dogs can be both (godammit small dogs, stop ruining the big dogs' reputation!!!), although the big dogs (WOOT!!! big dogs) are manly while cats are womanly. Cats keep themselves pretty and don't (generally) chase balls and get dirty by rolling in the dirt after a bath. How cananyone say cats are manly when they care so much about their appearance and won't even do physical work??? Oh, and cats want to br brushed and patted and given high-quality food, and to be let out at night and they won't even chase a godamn ball if you throw one.

Face it, cats are, in no way, manly, while any dog worth the name is the pet of a manly man!!! (I have a dog)

a) I have two: Bell and Kuri would kill Buddy. Plus, do NINJAS not train to be cat-like in movement, as do traceurs? Cats are like little assassins. Ezio, Altair, Batman, Ryu, Faith. Cats are awesome.
