Mishi, I've read many of your posts. Sometimes I pick the wrong words. You are a kind person, imo. Very insightful posts. Sorry if I offended, it was not intended.
Maybe my wife is a bit sensitive, I know she'd love this guy's action.
We went fishing once back when we were kids. Two punks caught a pregnant Stingray.
She freaked, begged them to throw her back, as the animal was pregnant.
They laughed and threw her on the pier. Wife absolutely flipped! Tears, screaming, the whole 9 yards.
I removed the hook and put her back into the ocean.
Yep, wife would like this kid...
(Guess who got the 'badge of courage' that particular eve? )

I get it. No offense taken.
My response was more from my perspective about treating pets like humans. It really doesn't work for me- but, I know, that's my deal.
In thinking about it again, I think the reason that this seems "off" to me is more because of what might not have been said in the article. Is there something difficult about socialization that this young man experiences? It's one thing to be a "cat guy" and it's another to be someone who bonds with these creatures because they can't bond with other humans. I don't begrudge this young man his prom experience- and I do know, full well, how difficult socialization in high school can be. I freely admit that I may be reading more into this than is there- but that's just my impression in reading this article. If I had a daughter his age, I'd be leery about her swooning over him.
Perhaps not.
He must be quiet enough within his own soul to observe others, but not be able to socialize with other humans?
An animal can pull that part of socialization out. I guess he found the cat easier in acceptance. If he couldn't find a human to socialize with, he picked the next best thing, one of our 4 legged friends.
That may attract a look or glance from those who find his ability to have feelings with other living things attractive.
One things for sure, the guy's not a serial killer, unlike the two punks we encountered on the pier, which may well be...or should at least be watched. Their leers and laughing was heinous. I could see in their faces and demeanour they actually revelled in my wife's tears.

Perhaps I didn't read enough into the article. Truthfully, I didn't give it much thought other than this kid loving his cat and not afraid to show it to his peers. It could also have been more of a 'prank' than anything else. Who knows? But lacking any evidence to the contrary, I'll just continue to think he just loves his cat.
One thing about it, I'm sure he was noticed (for good, or bad) at his prom.
CD ladies, fingers off - he's mine! Nothing sexier than a guy who likes cats
