Dads Who Originally Did Not Want A Cat, But Came Around To The Idea

by Rachel

When we are growing up, most of us wanted pets. While some of our parents were equally as excited as their kids—others were not. Sometimes, it is because, even though the kids promise that they will take care of it, their parents are wise enough to know that the pet would become their responsibility instead.

Sometimes, it is because parents just don’t like animals and therefore do not want them. Whether this is because they didn’t have any pets as kids and don’t understand the innate value they bring to our lives. Nevertheless, even people who don’t want pets can have their minds changed pretty quickly once they meet it! Here we found 19 cases where someone's Dad did not want a cat in their household—but these pictures show otherwise!
