Dudes with kitty cats
According to the New York Times, more and more guys—heterosexuals—are getting cats as pets. According to the writer, these guys are more secure about their masculinity so they don’t have to prove it by taking their dogs for a run around the park. (Taking your dog for a walk in the park at 2am is another story.)

I think that with Wall Street in chaos, the Times is hard-pressed to find stories that aren’t related to the crash. Hence this fluff piece about a so-called trend. The writer admits there are no figures to support the claim.
Not that there’s anything wrong with guys adopting cats. I’m sure it’s great—until he starts dating a girl who also has cats. Then we’re talking territorial wars. Also, I’ve noticed that cat owners have diva tendencies, and cats are by nature divas. You take two divas and their respective pet divas, and the household becomes pure Gotterdammerung.

It’s amazing how these cats of yours behave. They do appear so well-adjusted around cameras. Also I’m so green with envy for having green-eyed Koosi. The Coca I left in the Philippines was, take this, blue-and-grey eyed, a ‘pusakal’ I picked up from a nearby dumpster. I don’t know how she is now, but the latest I heard she’s having trouble with my mother’s ‘askal’.
