Meryl, as far as your cats being neutered, does that mean that they don’t even try? Also, I didn’t say that you were an old lady about to “lose it.” I didn’t mean to imply it. All I meant to say is that is another reason why cat pix in J-Date or another date site might put off guys.

Anyway, coax Tig & Gracie into doing something felinopornic while you snap pix.

Tig in the cat condo looks like he’s saying: “Where have you been? I’m starving.”

One day all of the cats will be banished and sent to live out their lives on cat island. When that day happens you better believe there will be one hell of a party.

I think that if I were a man, I’d be very pleased to date a woman who was caring for another living creature, be it a cat, dog, ferret or whatever. It would indicate that she was kind, responsible, compassionate and loving — things that I think anyone, man or woman, would want in a prospective mate.

And how is 1. a bad thing? Once again: Me–keeping cats. Him–accepting of that fact or find someone else.

2. Feh. I have two cats. That is hardly an accumulation.

3. My cats are neutered.

1. It’s a turn-off to the cat allergic bachelor.
2. Trust my experience in real estate when I say that one early sign of an old lady “losing it” is when she starts accumulating cats. Old single men with cats usually die before they reach this stage.
3. OTOH, you may get lots of dating inquiries if you showed your cats (or any cats) sharing an intimate moment.

Yeah, I figured that part out. But if you read that part of her post, it was pretty condescending to single, female cat owners. I don’t think cat pictures look pathetic, or make you look pathetic.

If I ever decide to do the online thing, cats are definitely high up in the list of things to mention. I absolutely will not date someone who hates cats. What’s the point? I’m not getting rid of mine.

I dunno, it sounds like she meant no photos of your cats alone on the dating site, not on your personal web site. Which doesn't sound too unreasonable. She's angered the Cat Mafia for sure now, though. We'll probably find her buried in a shallow litter box somewhere. Sad, really. I don't remember where I found this. Maybe it was here. Anyhow, enjoy.
