Guy - I would contend that OUR cats would win the prize for sweetness, but we can have coastal contests if it makes it easier!

No way about guys and cats. "Our" cats are much more attached to my husband than to me and he can't sleep without them. He works at a man's-man bike shop and several of the guys there own kitties. In fact, the last time I went out for drinks with them after work, it was the main topic of conversation. So worry not.

(btw, the fact that you are a cat lover gives you an ADDITIONAL point to your South Park point!)
