Yes.. and no.
Real men can share a residence with a cat, but the cat knows that they are in charge and the 'owner' I actually the willing slave.
We have 5 indoor/outdoor cats (mostly stay inside, but do venture out) and 2 outdoor/indoor cats (mostly stay outside, but come in to eat). They make us very aware of our position in relation to them.

My dog makes it very clear to cats what their position is relative to him....

The cats go to the dog to get groomed; the dog nibbles the fur around the cat's neck and back. If the dog stops to soon, she gets swatted.

No. Real men never let a cat be in charge.
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.
Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

A dog thinks:
Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me...
They must be gods!
A cat thinks:
Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me...
I must be a god.
Nobody owns a cat.
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.
I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended.

Dogs have owners. Cat's have staff.

The cat merely allows you to think you're charge. They're like wives in that regard. 
Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.

How did that happen? That's one thing a housecat can never do.
You know how they find their pecking order among themselves: They fight. That can get quite fierce when none of them gives up. A housecat would never attack you when they question your rank, just because of your size and strength.
That's also the reason why only very stupid men would have a big cat running around in their house. It's a big kitten until the moment comes when it tries out how strong it really is.
Don't you really know who they think you are? They think you are their mother and allow themselves the luxury of playing the little playful kitten when they are with you. Mother protects them and cares for them. They can be very demanding when you spoil them rotten, but it's still only baby behavior.
The good thing is that cats, contrary to common belief, learn very quickly when they want to. If you do it right, you will soon have them purring you to death, because that usually is their next strategy when nagging does not work anymore.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

Real men know that the only good cat is a dead cat; unless you need a moving target.
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

I'm a cat lover - if it is grilled medium rare and has the right sauce on it...

In the same vein: I love cats, I just can't eat one whole.

No one owns cats, they just tolerate us until they{re hungry.
