We were surprised to learn that straight men owning cats was such a sky-rocketing trend, we were not surprised to learn we could not care less. But, in the interest of ridicule, we give you...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/05/fashion/05cats.html?_r=3&amp;amp;oref=slogin&amp;amp;ref=style&amp;amp;pagewanted=all&amp;amp;oref=slogin&amp;amp;oref=slogin" target="_blank"&gt;Cat Men&lt;/a&gt;:&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John Scalzi, 39, an author in Bradford, Ohio who once demonstrated his love for his cat by &lt;a href="http://baconcat.com/" target="_blank"&gt;taping bacon to it&lt;/a&gt; and posting a photo on the Internet, &amp;quot;thinks that dogs are for the weaker of spirit, since the dog is, in effect, &amp;#39;your wingman.&amp;#39;&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;
“If you’re feeling insecure about your space in the world, you get a
dog because he will always back you up,” he said. “He’s the insecure
man’s best friend.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt; A man with a cat, on the other hand, “is secure with himself,” he said. “He’s sharing his space with a predator.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh, right! That vibrating ball of hair and attitude in your lap is a predator, we almost forgot. Good to know, we&amp;#39;ll avoid coming over in case Fluffy&amp;#39;s in a dangerous mood. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=133898" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/cats/default.aspx">cats</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/nytimes/default.aspx">nytimes</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/cat+men/default.aspx">cat men</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/cat+bacon/default.aspx">cat bacon</category></item></channel></rss>
