Cat-astrophic News for all the loving cat's men out there: if you want to attract women, you should really consider taking your cat off your profile photo. 

A new study by the Colorado State University showed hundreds of women photos of two men, both pictured with and without a furry companion, and their responses clearly confirmed that women are less likely to swipe right — or say yes — to men if they're posing with a cat in a picture. 

A total of 708 women aged between 18 and 24 were surveyed in the online experiment and here are some of its main results. 

Thank you to everyone who participated in our, "If Your Pet Was On A Dating Website, Post The Photo That Would Be Their Pic" challenge! We loved seeing all your pets and would swipe right on ALL of them! We wish we could showcase them all but unfortunately, we could only select a few for this list -- so here are the 25 pets that stood out to us! If you haven't done so already, don't forget to follow us on Facebook for a chance for your pet to be featured! 

We live in the age of carefully staged profile pictures that convey our complete and total awesome-ness. And then there's the tagged photo, exposing the truth about how much of a goober most of us really are. Basically, it doesn't matter how sexy and carefully cultivated your profile pic may be, it's only a matter of time until some blurry tagged photo unravels it all. Consider it the universe's way of keeping us all a little more humble on social media.
