One of my best friends is single, straight and he has a cat. I should tell him how rare he is.
Apart from the fact I don't believe you (show me stats - no wait don't bother, one can support any point of view with 'stats'), even if they are rare, it means nothing and doesn't make cat ownership any more 'gay' than owning another other pet. What's so feminine about cats anyway? I really don't get it.

Give it up already. You're plenty wrong; how many more people will it take telling you that they know quite a few single men who own cats before you get it?
As a matter of fact, I wouldn't have cats right now if it hadn't been for my husband; he'd had cats all his life, because his dad liked cats (not his mom; she loathed cats).

Thats great that you have ONE friend who owns a cat. One of my friends owns a cat as well. ONE!! Out of like, MANY!! THAT is how rare it is. ONE out of a few hundred says it is rare.

By any chance, are you an African American living in the inner city like our OP?
Just thinking, if you are that maybe you two just haven't seen enough of how the rest of America lives?
Because honestly, your opinions are really off base for America at large

What age group are we talking? I find a lot of young, mobile 20 somethings don't have pets in general. But if they did a survey, I'm pretty sure your '1 in 100' claim would be flatly refuted and you'd be eating humble pie.

And who gives a flying fudge about the opinion of a few ignorant loser?
