So it's not manly to own a cat!!

Cats are funny creatures. Like you don't know that already!

I am finding though, that many people just don't like cats. Take my brother-in-law for instance. Over the weekend he was in our home and when he saw our cat and how much both my husband and I love him, he kind of snickered and said, "Oh no, I can't believe you're a cat lover now!" He didn't have much of a chance to interact with our feline friend because, of course, Baxter didn't know him and ran under the couch and stayed there!

I asked him why and he responded by saying he just loved dogs better. They were just more manly.

Wow! Really??

My Aunt Mary just sent me a picture from the 50's of Marlon Brando and his adorable white cat that he loved dearly. You can't get more manly than Marlon Brando and he loved his cat!!! (I attach the link here so you can see the pics - http://www.vintag.es/2013/03/marlon-brando-with-his-cat-at-home.html)

Sometimes I see men walking through our development with the tiniest white fluffy dog. Does that mean they aren't manly men?? Ridiculous!

I kept my mouth shut because you just can't change anyone's mind about things, especially if they aren't open for change. And he certainly wasn't!

Well, his loss - not mine!
