Argument For

It seems since the very beginning when the cat was first domesticated, his feline presance was linked to the female of our species. In history it is a cat that is at the Queens feet, not the kings. In art, the cat is the symbol of female beauty, feminine wisdom, and gentleness.This is because as much as gender traits cross over in our modern world, our natural human tendancies will never change, and the pets we respect, honour and love are a reflection of how we see ourselves. The cat will always compliment a womens beauty, lytheness of movement, and soft and tender touch. If we see a man with a cat it looks awkward and strange.

Argument Against

Because of the cats innate beauty and soft and gentle appearence it has been unfairly linked with the female gender. Just like humans Cats are much more than thier appearence alone. And why shouldn't men celebrate and love their natural physical assets just as women do anyway? The fact is cats are more than "just a pretty face" as any owner will tell you. Their male side reflects focussed and precise hunters, a territorial instinct that fights to ensure no-one takes his castle. Their personalities attract the artistic personality, male or female. Times are changing and felines are becoming more popular with both genders because we are realising they are not just balls of fur but fantastic three dimensional personalities as well as beautiful animals.
