“Cat is a lifestyle. They’re an important, uncompromising part of our lives,” actor Nathan Kehn, who has four cats, said in the release. “Cat people are just as unique as the cats they love, but we understand each other. Finding someone who loves cats the way that you do is vital.”

As per a new study conducted by researchers at Colorado State University, the women do not swipe right if they find men posing with cats in their dating profiles.

“I’ve had women stop talking to me once they find out about my cats,” said Sterling “TrapKing” Davis, who owns nonprofit organisation that helps trap and rehabilitate stray cats in Atlanta.

“People without cats think that cat ladies and cat dudes are loners wrapped up in their bathrobes playing with balls of yarn all day. Really, cat people are the most suitable for real relationships. We understand what it means to earn trust and how to relish affection,” Kehn added.

Similarly, earlier Dig was launched for Dog lovers.
