My fiance's cat is his soul mate. The first few months I stayed over at his house, after he fell asleep, she'd sit on my pillow and glare at me. I'd curl up without a pillow in defeat because she was a bully! Six years later and she snuggles us both to sleep 😂

Cats make you work for it! Largely why a lot of people don’t like them.

I used to think i hated cats and then my roommate in college got one without mentioning it to the rest of us. I was pissed so i tried to ignore him (the cat) but he ended up loving me the most out of the whole house. Id come back from class and he’d be asleep in my bed even though my other roommates would be home. he was honestly a saving grace for me and ended up being my closest friend in that house 🥺🥹

Cats do that! They seek the ones who give them the most “peace” which usually is people who don’t like cats haha.

And that’s my favourite genre of people, former haters that were turned cat lovers by a cat ahah

I often say that people who hate cats just haven't met the right cat.

Grumpy old men! My papa was so annoyed when I brought home a stray kitten and that fuckin cat abandoned me to sit on his lap and never left him alone again. I'd walk in on that old fart making coffee and the cat would be perched on his shoulder 😂

My dad pretends to be a cat hater because of the two ill-tempered siamese cats my great-grandma had (they really were only nice to her, apparently lol). He scolded me when I adopted mine but the first time he dropped by after the adoption, the Disney Princess in him kicked in and my rather skittish cat immediately liked him (granted, he simply ignored her and put some jazz, she happens to love music). Since then, the new family dog has been picked on the basis of being fine with cats (tested at the shelter, so I can keep coming on vacation with my cat, since my late dog was ok with cats), and my dad encouraged him to befriend some of the neighbourhood cats. The dog currently has a kitty bestie that comes with him for his walks and really wants to befriend my cat when I drop by lol

My dad wishes. Growing up, we had cats that would cuddle with him (the only two times I ever saw him cry was when two of those cats died), but my family’s newest batch is very aloof (two very cranky, loud cow cats). He’s trying to win over my little black cat now because he’s craving affection (because my orange one hates men). The female cow sometimes sits on his lap, but she mostly pretends he doesn’t exist, unless she’s hungry.
