A man who likes cats or prefers cats as pets, often as opposed to liking dogs.
1942, Stephen Benet, The Australian Women's Weekly, page 2:
Now. I am not a cat man, but a dog man. Indeed, if I had my way. I would own an English bulldog, which I consider the king of breeds.
1968, John Montgomery, The World of Cats, page 12:
A dogman, he said, likes having tails wagged at him, wants to be looked up to, and tends for that reason to be quite a good leader. A catman, on the other hand, is made slightly uncomfortable by spaniel eyes and devoted tail thumpings.
1998, Tanya McKinnon, Like Cats and Dogs, page 52:
Unlike dog men, cat men tend not to go in for extreme sports, but when they do, it usually takes the form of rock climbing[.]
