Do you want to date people who are so fragile that they don't want you to have a fucking pet cat?

Is a single man with a cat for a house pet a turn off to women?

Women aren't a hivemind, so I would expect their reaction to this to be pretty diverse. If they're not allergic, it's pretty much anyone's guess.
Just be yourself, at all times. And if you ever change, do it for yourself. Anything else will be a charade you won't be happy maintaining and won't be able to keep up forever.

I've been back in the dating world of late, and yes, I've heard this from women
Well, then the cat perfectly fits the bill. Those fuckers are more than capable to kill a human, they just don't because they prefer to use us as slaves.
I knew a huge pitbull near my school when i was a kid that was scared shitless or cats. And it was for good reasons since one cat gouged out one of his eyes and teared down entirely one ear. According to the owners, it was done in no more than two seconds. Cats are dangereous when they want to.
Weird. I've known many male friends with cats. Never heard of the stigma. Dogs are just too hard to deal with in bigger cities.
You either have a cat who leaves you guys alone when it's time to fuck or you have a dog who will smell your date's butthole and smile at you from the side of the bed the entire time.
Yeah, smelly cat boxes were always a deal breaker for me. It's not the cat's fault, it just reflects poorly on the owner.
Having a cat is cool, living in filth is not. No one wants to smell cat urine or poop.
Women generally like cats. It's men that act stupid about it, ostensibly because cats require one to have empathy in order to build a relationship with and dogs will respond to you barking orders like a jerkoff and love you anyway.
My now-fiancee told me one of the moments she first realized she liked me was when I stopped by an old spot to put food out for the feral cats. And even before we were dating she would come over just to visit the cats.

1. One of the things that drew my now-wife to me was the fact that I had a cat.
2. You asking this says more about you than it says about any potential woman you'd date.

I saw a recent Match profile where the girl said you got a cat at home then that's the only pussy you're gonna see 😂
I don't know if they are turn offs, but I don't think cat are nearly as good of a wingman as a dog.
The thing is, though, is that the kind of person you would actually want to be with. I wouldn't spend my time trying to win over a kind of person who actively dislikes things I enjoy. Especially with something as universally beloved as pets, you're not actually limiting your dating pool in any profound way either.
Nurturing and caring for another living animal isn't a negative quality in a partner, unless you're a bad owner. Live your life.
It's probably a turn off to some kind of women but overall not a problem. I can see it being an issue if the cat is all you talk about and you're a super "cat person".

Def not one of those I just was thinking about getting a little companion to have around the house because I live alone. Plus there's s shelter within walking distance from my place that's overflowing with cats.
As others have said, it really depends on the person. When I was dating, you can kind of tell the people (at least, on online dating) who were cool with cats and who weren't.
It may narrow down your field slightly (as it did mine at the time), but you're going to be only down a couple options. Most seem cool with cats.

I mean if you enjoy having cats as pets I don't think that's something to be "ashamed" of.
If you're one of those Reddit cat people then yeah dial that shit back. The problem in that case is not the cat, it's that you'd be acting weird about it. Rule #2 of dating: don't be weird (not the endearing kind of "weird" at least).
There's also MAGA supporters, racists, "swipe LEFT if you're below 6ft4 ughhghghgh"-types and "send me money my venmo is ___ lolol" profiles.
In short, there's always assholes who you don't want to date. Be thankful they show their true colors on their profile instead of you having to waste your time by digging that shit out of them in conversation/dates.

I have two cats and as long as you do it every day or every other day (we have 2 litter boxes) the house doesn't smell at all.
I have heard this before, but this type of thinking is really only for the lamest, squarest people. It's just a very traditionalist, arbitrary masculinity test.
That said, depends on number of cats owned:
1 - cool
2 - still cool
3 - man you really like cats huh
5 - sooo...what's up with that?
17 - OK I'm not coming to your house
EDIT: yeah the worst part about the litter box is not the box itself(if you take care of it), it's the cats getting little specks of litter around the area and furniture and stuff

In an age where people are calling out the issues with gender norms louder than ever, just do what you want dude.
Just make sure your cat doesn't scratch your would be date.

I read the topic title as: "Is a single man with a cat for a house a turn off to women?"
And I was just thinking, "meh probably not."

Plus you can tell them how you saved the cat from a fire, among a few kids, and kind of felt responsable for it, that is the kind of person you are.
Most women I know seem to love cats, so I'd think it a bonus.
Me, I'm allergic, and feel like literally everyone who isn't, insists on getting cats. It makes me a sad panda.

Nah and not every woman is the same.
Everyone likes and dislikes different things.
Have 2 8 year old boys and never had a problem with dating or bringing women home with me.
Even that one with allergies simply took a pill/tablet and it was fine to go for a couple hours.
Currently texting with someone and everytime i send her pictures from my cats she melts and wants to meet them & hopefully she wont forget about me once she is coming over.
Just get a cat because you really want a cat but at the same time stop being insecure.
Don't get one if you know you throw it out for the first woman that dislikes cats

The main issue is keeping your house from smelling like cat piss and poop, other than that don't worry about it
