My message to all of you men and masc leaning individuals with your profile photo being you and your cat: You're great and wonderful and I hope you and your cat have a lovely day! 🐈
@sinituulia what about masc / masc leaning folks with dogs who and are in the "cute and cuddly" end of the canine spectrum? Min Pins, Iggys, Chiuhauas, Poodles, &c.?
@semblancestudio I don't usually differentiate between dog types (although my heart belongs to immensely large dogs with very fluffy fur) but Man With Dog is such a classic that it doesn't really hit the same? And there's a bunch of real real arseholes with dogs, whereas most dudes with cats are at least generally quite okay... But I guess Man With Poodle also hits different from Man With Dobermann.
@semblancestudio This post was very specifically just for Man With Cat, though.

@sinituulia cats are always running the show, so mascs with cat have to be okay with someone else running the show. That is a specific things

Dogs don't run things in the same way as cats, a few rare ones I have met (this Maltese named Xiwang) is closest to cat vibes I have met. This is Xiwang.

Agree, masc with cats its own category. Mascs with cute / cuddly dogs another, and then maybe not worth mentioning the last category in any detail.
