That's the way it always starts lol.
Somebody says they don't like cats. Then they adopt a kitten, take in a stray, find a girl who has one, etc.
Before you know it, they might actually "like" the cat. They aren't a cat person, but they tolerate
this cat.
Next thing you know, they have two cats. They might never say they are converted, but the evidence points to something else lol.
Seriously though, I completely understand loving an animal like a person. I'm completely devastated after losing a pet.
Cats, dogs, whatever kind of pet, they're all a part of the family.
