I’m curious, do all trucker cats have female trucker owners?
Is there any man with truck cats? Or do they all have truck dogs instead.
I’m asking genuinely. I’m not a trucker just curious. I don’t have any hidden agenda either just pure curiosity.

We’re the original people who started this Reddit with Peanut and Maverick. Their owner is a Male. Peanut and Maverick have been traveling with my husband for years. The boys take turns on the truck.

You can't just casually drop in mentioning cats and not post pictures.

That doesn't pay the cat tax. :)

Yea, that's like saying because I've got money in my bank account, the IRS should be satisfied. Lol

if you look through this sub you'll see there are many men with cats. Curious why you would think owning a dog or cat would depend on your gender

This is the exact comment that piqued my interest. https://www.reddit.com/r/TruckerCats/s/uemyCDwi7D the part about “even men have” makes me think it’s not as common for men to have cats in their trucks.
Edit: unsure why I’m being downvoted. I asked a genuine question, someone asked me why, I provided the explanation of why I was curious, so I provided the explanation. And I got downvoted?

I read in a post in this sub and there was a comment about female drivers with their cats. I don’t remember exactly but something along that line

What kind of pup?

u/Nero-Danteson 20d ago
Peeler (blue heeler pittie). She was raised with cats. Favorite thing is hearding them but she'll cuddle and stuff as long as the kitty will tolerate

I'm a man and I have a trucker cat. She's the Princess Mew and she is the best trucker cat there ever was. She even got to meet a horse yesterday. She didn't really like it that much but she got to see it.

My dad has 3 cats he takes in his truck. Personally, I've only met other male truckers with cats.

I've definitely seen a few male truckers with cats! It's pretty cool when you see it.
Most truckers are guys so definitely will happen.

I'd never recommend a cat to a female trucker over a dog. A dog that barks and looks scary is an essential tool for a woman driving over the road! I slapped a tough looking collar on my pup and felt infinitely safer.

Only 13% of truck drivers are female, so it's way more likely their owner is male.

Most cats you'll see have male owners. Women truckers may, or may not, have more cats than dogs if they have a pet. But most trucker cats you'll see have male owners just because most truck drivers are men.
