Meet Cat Guy Graham
Catster Mom Louise sent me this story about her Cat Guy partner, Graham:
My partner, Graham, is a cat guy. When we met (17 years ago, gulp!), he had fairly recently split up with his girlfriend, and was living alone in his house with two cats.
I had always loved cats so made a real fuss of his babies, Sybil and Beardsley, but Graham played down the cat lover thing, saying “oh yes, she left these cats behind and I’m stuck with them but it’s not fair to them to rehome them etc”. So I felt it was left to me to make a fuss of them.
Until I moved in….I caught him one morning feeding them saying “come on Sybil, duck and heart flavour. Your favourite” Busted! In fact he cared so much about Sybil and Bea that once when Sybil was at the vets being investigated with a mystery ailment, he got stopped for speeding on his way to pick her up, he was able to tell the policeman that his little girl was poorly and got let off! Because he meant it I think!
Both Sybil and Bea lived to good ages (19 and 21) and after they both passed away in the space of three months apart, he was devastated and wouldn’t consider getting another. Until I suckered him into visiting this poor little deaf cat (Bruce) who needed a good indoor home, and his friend (Titch). Of course he was smitten! They came home with us and we are so glad Graham fell soft!
Bruce is a complete Daddy’s boy and barely tolerates me if Graham’s there, where as Titch is my Momma’s boy and my shadow.
Here’s to Cat Guys! I’m lucky to have one myself!
What a nice story about our friends! Our dad is a cat man, too, I will write Skeezix about him.
Titch and Bruce are our friends – how pawsome to have a great article about their Dad!
Knead On ~
We love this family! Thanks for posting their (and their dad’s) story!!
Hey, Skeez. My friend Tooney’s (323193) dad is a major cat guy. Tooney is 17 and he was sick recently and couldn’t walk. So his Daddy carried him to the litter box, and food bowl and anywhere he wanted to go. And Tooney got BETTER! Hurray for Tooney and his Daddy!
A very nice story. It’s good to know there is still hope for mom to find a nice cat guy.
Graham is my daughter’s partner and my cats love him too, especially Queenie! She gets really excited when she hears his car drawing up ‘cos she knows he’ll always give her some of his dinner!
Cool, another great Cat Guy story! (Our cat guy dad, Crazy Mike from Wales, has a cat guy brother named Graham, too. Funny catincidence!). We see that Louise’s cat-guy Graham is in the U.K. (Yorkshire) – what is it about those U.K. men and cats? Any road (as they say in Yorkshire), thanks for a heartwarming account! (And maybe someone should submit a piece on Tooney’s dad…)
Hehe, my Dad’s famous! Thank you for all the nice comments!
Awwww that is so sweet it brings tears to my eyes
Here’s a whole biker gang of cat guys:

Titch is a good pal of mine! I am so happy he not only has a great mom and grandma but a sweet dad too! My grandpa was not a cat person until mom
returned to live with him. Now he is the biggest softie but only if he thinks nobody is looking. MOL!
Those pix are worth a thousand beautiful words!!
