Everyone loves dogs, and most dogs love everyone. Cats, on the other hand, make you work for their affection. They do what they want, when they want, and tend to favor one particular person. That’s why it takes a special kind of guy to love cats, and that’s why we admire a man with the self-confidence to give his heart to a creature who might one day purr contentedly in his arms, and the next day puke in his shoes.

Those colors are often red and black, but you’ll also find orange, yellow, gray, and blue mixed in at times.
