One of these, with whom Daughter broke up, but I didn't, tells me he is now thinking of getting a cat. We talk frequently. Now that he is living alone, for the first time in his life, not to mention far, far away, and working long hours, he needs a pet. He figures his present lifestyle wouldn't be fair to a dog.
Now that he has been introduced to Maine Coon cats, he is no longer opposed to kitties. However; he says that the only kind of cat he'll have is a Maine Coon.
Present boyfriend (or, as Husband calls him, "Mere Acquaintance") doesn't like cats either.
But you should see him do facey rubs with Eli, our Maine Coon and pet him as long as Eli will allow. He (Boyfriend, not Eli) lights up when he sees the cat, and you can he tell feels like it's a real honor that Eli will allow him to interact. After all, it's only been a year since Boyfriend has been coming around.
I guess Eli felt sorta sorry for the guy.
I understand how this happens. Eli is big, muscular, powerful and, well, dog-like. He rules the roost, and he rules the dog.
He is, in a word, manly.
So if your guy isn't a "cat" person, and you want a cat, introduce him to a Maine Coon. Odds are, unless he's phobic (which will only make him worse), allergic, or a great actor, Eli will win him over and you can have a cat and your man, too.
I'll be glad to introduce Eli to your he-man anytime.
For a small fee, of course.
