Are you a “cat-chelor”? 😺

Crazy Cat Lady…meet your match!

“Cat-chelors” are popping up all over…single men who opt to get a cat instead of a girlfriend, according to the Mirror.

A new study found more and more batchelors are getting cats because it takes pressure off them having to find a partner.

One in four “cat-chelors” said having a cat makes it easier to be single…29% said they like having a cat around because they’re “good to talk to” and 10% say their cat has helped get them through a bad break-up.

Also:

  • Half said their their cat helps keep them calm
  • 25% think their cat makes them come across as a more loving person
  • 20% think owning a cat has a positive effect on their romantic life
  • And one in six “cat-chelors” claim it has helped them land more dates

Time to head to your local shelter, guys!
