There are plenty of stereotypes out there when it comes to guys and cats; they are sensitive, deep and caring, more likely to fancy staying home reading James Joyce and puffing moodily on a cigarette than be out and about exploring the world like those adventurous dog guys.

Unsurprisingly, with a growing trend for such character traits as sensitivity, emotional unavailability and not having children, house cat ownership among guys is on the rise too. 'Cat dads' they are called, and maybe, just maybe, they are onto something because the ladies just can't seem to get enough of it!

Don't know what we mean? Well, we here at Bored Panda have put together a list of cute cats and their equally cute guys so that you can judge for yourself. No matter where you stand on the great cat/dog divide, there's something about a human and an adorable animal sharing an obvious connection that is oh-so-appealing. Scroll down below to see for yourself, and share your own in the comments!

    My Boyfriend Cliff Works From Home, But Our Kitten Simon Insists On Being Held Multiple Times Throughout The Day

    This was impacting Cliff's ability to get work done so we had to fashion a kitten sling so that Simon could get his snuggles in and cliff could work.
