Hi JungleKitty. I"m a man, 28 and I love cats. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I do think you were over-reacting about his sig. That aside, I think that men typically like dogs more because they are more loyal and obedient, usually much larger, generally easier to train and (the biggest difference between cats and dogs) don't try to usurp the man as head of the household. Cats are always the boss or they leave, their rules are pretty simple.
I think cats are however much tougher than dogs or any other animal I've ever seen. Cats are cute and cuddly yes, but the man in me sees nature at its best. I see a perfect killing machine with incredibly accurate senses, hunting instincts better than any other animal, lethal natural weapons, sedative poison, lightning reflexes. If a cat is faced with any other animal the same size or smaller then the other animal is lunch. They are our pets because we outsize them by about 10 times... and so this is why we can't have tigers, lions or even jaguars (who are the same size as dogs) or bobcats (just above poodle size) as cats, domestication has little to do with it, ask Sigried and Roy. ^^
