Men and Cats

I do not particularly like pictures of cats and I do not particularly like pictures of beefcake men, but I like this.

I like the way this series reverses the stereotypical Internet imagery of cats as graceful beauties vs. men as bumbling oafs.

First picture: Yup, it's a guy and a cat.
Second picture: Hmm, should I be looking at this in the airport, actually?
Third picture: Welp, now it's hilarious.

It took me a couple photos to 'get it,' but when I got it, it was well worth it.

I was dreading that a self-grooming pair of shots was going to be included. I did find this. Stop or keep scrolling down?

It's not quite cute boys with cats, but I appreciate having an option with a somewhat more age-appropriate demographic.

I would love to see a CT scan of my brain while looking at this because I'm pretty sure it would look like a fireworks display. I'm feeling EVERYTHING AT ONCE!

I lost it at the shower one. Not quite "Dansons la capucine" level, perhaps, but pretty great.
Poom!

Is this like some kind of psychological experiment? How many pictures of men will I put up with in order to look at pictures of cats? I guess the answer is all the pictures of men.

Also, here, again, is that video of the cute guy taking a shower with his cat. Because it seems relevant.

Someone had to look through an awful lot of pictures of cats to match those up so well.
Or possibly through an awful lot of pictures of men.
Such a hard life, I'm sure...

Also relevant: cats just like hanging out with their humans in the bathroom.

Well, as a guy with a cat who will not let him alone in the bathroom, I am afraid I am insufficient hunky to make the cut on that site.
Oh, well.

OMG I think this one made my ovaries explode. Except it has nothing to do with babies. I just want to have kittens with RDJ and Jude Law. I mean, come on.

By the time I got down to the guy with the hat, I realized what was missing: At least sometimes, the cat and man needed to be together.
But also, some realistic men would be nice. These are mostly a bunch of gym bunnies, selling cool and tats and weight loss schemes and body shame. Mostly excessively polished for my taste. (Except Pierce wears his polish very well, thank you)

Is it just me, or is every guy on the site white? (Kitty diversity well represented.)
Sadly I wouldn't have noticed except that I wanted to send this to some friends of mine, an interracial gay couple, in my continuing effort to bombard them with the Get A Kitty message. But... It's just a little creepy to have a rainbow of kitty colours and only white dudes, you know? This is the Internet after all, non-white beefcake is just a google image search away.

I agree wholeheartedly. They all look too re-touched, lean and oddly coquettish. The kittens are beyond reproach, however.

I like this, but I think the cats/cheesecake pictures one works better, because the poses match a bit better and a bit more often. These, while attractive, are a bit more haphazard.
