A lot of people think that you can’t judge a man by his cat. But I beg to differ. I believe that you can learn a lot about a man by the way his cat feels about him. Let me explain…

A man’s relationship with his cat says a lot about his character. If a man treats his cat well, then chances are he’s a good person. He’s probably kind, patient, and loving.

Conversely, if a man is cruel to his cat, then he’s likely not a very good person. He’s probably impatient, mean, and insensitive.

In my experience, men who have strong relationships with their cats are also generally more stable emotionally. They’re less likely to fly off the handle or overreact to situations.

They’re more likely to be level-headed and rational. This is the kind of man you want in your life – someone who is calm and collected, even in the midst of chaos.

This was unusual because David could discuss a subject long after everyone else had exhausted both the subject and the available oxygen. When her name entered the conversation, however, he became careful. At first I mistook that restraint for discretion; later, I began to recognize guilt.
