From a pop-up news tidbit

"Hey guys, if you want to impress a lady, get a cat.

Single men who love cats are more likely to get a date. Fully 90 percent of single women surveyed by Cats Protection, a leading animal welfare society in the United Kingdom, said men who like cats are nicer, more caring, and more sensitive than men who don't have cats, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

The survey also found that 85 percent of men and 94 percent of women do not think it is wimpy or needy for a man to love his cat. Single men and single women equally enjoy "lavishing care" on their kitties.

Men and women think about their cats in very different ways, though. When asked to characterize their feline pets, men viewed them as a good friend, while women saw them as a child or baby.

While men say that a cat's "independent spirit" is its most desirable trait, women think this is a cat's least desirable characteristic. Independent or not, men admit they like to cuddle with their cats. Ladies, beware! Fully 75 percent of men admitted that their cats fulfilled their cuddle needs.

This might be the best reason of all for a man to get a cat: They're babe magnets.
