   Our mom loved the photo of John Lennon (except why couldn’t they crop out Yoko Ono?). George Harrison had cats, too.

   Wonderful men with wonderful cats. We all hide from men though …

    Winston Churchill is another notable historical figure who was also a cat dude. This goes to show you that only the best can understand the greatness that felines have!

    We love these pictures – our Dad is a cat guy too – not as famous as these guys but still a superstar to us!

    Abraham Lincoln and Ernest Hemingway were also cat guys!

    Love this! One of the big reasons I fell in love with my husband was his love for cats. The way he looks at our cats when he’s petting them just melts my heart.

    Tony LaRussa, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, is also a big cat guy. I think he and his wife run a cat charity.

    I feel sort of proud that cat people can be as great as Mark Twain. It’s something you can show off about.

    NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is owned by two Tonkinese kitties who often travel by motorcoach to races with him.
