In addition to what’s been said, cats make decent baby substitutes. Babies, especially newborns, sleep a lot, preferably on you. Good cats love sleeping on you, too. Carrying a cat also fulfills some of that feeling of holding a baby up on your shoulder or against your chest. And there’s some of that “unconditional love” feeling when your cat has deigned you worthy of all this and starts purring. On the negative side, cats can be fickle like babies. You may not be playing the “why won’t you stop crying game,” but you are playing the, “why won’t you come here and let me pet you,” game.
I don’t know if these traits are part of that feminine coding for sure, but I do know that I intend to use cats for my baby fix once I’m done having the actual thing.
