This is my neighbor, Joe, and his cats Skunk (the black and white cat, obviously) and Mitsy (the polydactyl tabby). I always say Joe lives in the house of extreme cuteness due to his two adorable cats, plus two super adorable kids, and a sweet, cute dog (not to mention his lovely wife).
James submitted these photos of himself & his cat Noodles to the Men and Cats Facebook Group. Love the triptych!
This user-submitted post comes from Neil, who managed to snap this photo of him & his cat, Rocky, on the first warm day of spring.
“Rocky and I live in Montgomery, Alabama. He and I go on walks twice a day. During times when I feel it’s time to go indoors, I carry Rocky. Rocky sometimes doesn’t want to be held anymore so he will sit on my shoulder until he can jump onto a ledge close to the door. I’m amazed the selfie worked!”
Menandcats.com recently stumbled across the work of photographer David Williams, who has an entire series of beautiful portraits of men and their cats. I was shocked that I hadn’t seen his work before, since we have very similar projects with similar goals behind them. I reached out to David for an interview, and he was kind enough to answer my questions. Please check out David’s website and Instagram and support it in any way you can!
First of all, do you have a cat or cats?
DW: My girlfriend and I have one cat named Margot. We rescued her after Hurricane Sandy hit New York.
A Men and Cats reader submitted this sweet post about the man and cat in her life:
Daisy is mine and Shelby’s, my fiancé’s, 6 month old brown striped kitten. We rescued her from an abusive home when she was about 6 weeks old. I wanted a little kitten for myself to take care of and keep me company. But Daisy immediately took a liking to Shelby by snuggling in his lap and following him around. I’ll admit I was jealous especially since I was always the cat lover in the relationship. He had never really liked cats too much before and was more of a dog person, but daisy was different. She is truly man’s best friend! He loves her so much and she shows the same love back to him. Everyday when he leaves for work, she waits on the couch right next to our front door for him to kiss her goodbye. Then she cuddles up for a nap and waits for him to come home. When he arrives home, there she is at his feet welcoming him home for the night, then she jumps up on his chair and waits for him to snuggle with her. At bedtime, she cuddles in between us purring and when we wake up, she is in one of our faces purring waiting for us to get up. Daisy is such a special kitty, and she has made our little family complete. Shelby has been happier since we got her, if he is angry or having a bad day Daisy always tries her hardest to cheer him up. I never expected that Shelby would have grown so close to Daisy, but sometimes the most unlikely relationships turn out to be the best ones.
