If he works at Time Out New York, you have to wonder if he's really straight.

Shes my primary relationship, he said. With a lisp.

but Mr. Fulrath, who is into video games and comic books and calls himself a straight, geeky guy, Mr. Fulrath is half right.

Mr. Fulrath, who is into video games and comic books and calls himself a "straight, geeky guy, " He can call himself anything he likes. Doesn't make it so.

Yeah, they do. I’ve owned dogs and loved every one of them. I also own cats and my two current cats are as faithful and friendly as any dog I’ve ever had. One waits by the door like my last dog did when he hears the garage door. He greets me just like the dog did and parks himself at my feet just like the dog.
The cats were easier to train than the dogs and instead of having to let them out and then clean up the messes in the yard I simply change their box once a week taking less than 5 minutes.
I still like dogs, but with the wife and I both working during the day there is no time and nobody to properly train a new dog.
One added benefit is that mice and other pests never come into the house like they do with some of my neighbors.

I’ve known a decorated Vietnam Vet and a firefighter who were both big cat guys. Not a fan of felines myself, but don’t see why having one makes you unmasculine.

With that logic, the fact that two of my gay coworkers are big dog lovers and one is into raising rottweilers would indicate that lovers of big dogs are gay regardless of what they call themselves.

Of course. The metrosexual male would have a metrosexual pet.

No one “owns” a cat! Cats have “people” to take care of the mundane tasks.

I don’t know...
Here is Northern Virginia, the metro thing is to own small dogs...yorkie’s seem to be popular.
That said, I do run into more guys picking up girls with their dogs (a guy walking a cat probably would have zero chance :P)
And really, what straight guy doesn’t like pussy...cats...

I love cats and don’t really want to go into how many I have although we are one less as a very emaciated kitty we got 6 months ago finally succumbed to her problems yesterday. She is missed.

I’m sorry to hear of your loss. The hobo symbol for a generous person is the cat. If you feed them, they will come.

To: RJS1950
I don’t think the problem is with him being a cat owner, I think it’s with declaring the cat his “primary relationship”. That might not be gay but it’s definitely weird. I’ve lived my life in a pet world, dogs, cats, a bird, rodents, I understand the pet bond. But at no point has my “primary relationship” ever been with a non-human.
