Real Men like Cats!

this thread made me chuckle x

Well I can't take any credit at all for converting him - the kitties did it all by themselves 
I think his big turning point was when our little rescue persian, Phoebe was diagnosed with PKD.  As her illness progressed, the run up to our decision of finding the right moment to let her go really affected him.  He was as big a wreck as me when she was pts and for quite a while after.   I think that was the point at which he realised how much he did actually love our little fluffpots.   
Hugo cries for Dad to pick him up and likes to 'dangle'     Hugo likes to be held with all his legs dangling as if he were lying on a tree branch.  He requires rocking at this point and woe betide Dad if he tries to put Hugo down!       He ends up standing there for 10 to 15 minutes rocking a dangling Hugo 
If his friends at the rugby club could only see that spectacle

    Am loving the fact Hugo's about as far into that mug as he can get. 

Gilbert does look like a very well behaved boy.  It's no wonder he view's Hugo's antics with disapproval.   

It always delights me when you come across a man who confides in a love of cats.  Says a lot about them, I reckon.     I confess that until we took in a tiny stray almost 30 years ago, I wasn't really "into" cats either - I thought they were a bit aloof, and when I worked at the local cat and dog shelter as a volunteer, I was once badly scratched by a cat that hid on a shelf and jumped on my back when I was putting a clean litter tray back.   

It wasn't until we'd lived with that tiny stray (who was never claimed except by us) that I realised how utterly fascinating cats could be, and how very much I'd grown to love her, absolutely breaking my heart when she disappeared at the age of 4.

I'm going to sound like a serial dater but I've def converted a few men to cats in my time lol! I've also ended it with one guy who hated my cats and treated them with disdain... Not good!

I have a naughty cat and well behaved cat too lol!

Well done for converting him 

My fella wasn't a cat fan after a bad experience when he was younger, but I had never owned a cat either til just over 2 years ago....

After much pestering and wearing him down, we got two, and now he dotes on them just as much as me 

Fab photos

Great pic of Hugo As for Gilbert, what a gorgeous little angel! My two sound very similar in personalities, one larger than life full of character and VERY mischievous, the other is a sweet gentle angel!

My hubby wasn't into cats when we met   - In fact he'd never really had much contact with animals.  He was under the impression cats just came to get fed and then left.    He wasn't quite prepared for their intelligence and my cats' ability to play hide and seek with you, play fetch, follow you round the house like a dog and how strong a personality they had.  Needless to say, it wasn't long before they'd crept into his affections and he is now a total cat convert.     Of the cats we have had, Hugo seems to have made a big impression, (probably because he's so mischievous). 
It was hubby's Birthday and the kitties bought him a pressie.  Hugo wants his mitts on everything you've got  and quite fancied this pressie for himself - as you can see from the pic.

Sorry but I had to add a gratuitous cute cat pic of Gilbert - couldn't possibly leave him out.  Gilbert is an angel by the way    Never, ever puts a paw out of place.  A real goody two shoes!  He follows Hugo round the house when he's up to no good  and watches his disgraceful antics looking a bit   
He keeps turning round to look at me as if to say "Mum! Aren't you going to do anything about this??"
