18 People Who Swore They Never Wanted A Pet But Now Spoil Them Beyond Belief

by Ariana

I don't dislike animals, but I don't love having a pet. I loved it when I was younger, but now that I am a mother, I don't need more things to look after.

It now makes total sense to me why my parents rolled their eyes every time I walked through the door with a stray cat. It also makes sense to me though, that why within a week or two, that stray cat suddenly became their new baby.

Every family has those people who swear up and down that they don't want or need a pet, but who become that pet's biggest fan once it moves in. If you know someone like this, you'll totally relate to the tweets below!

1. Nobody getting tossed outta here!

My dad yelled at me the day I rescued my cat and gave me 24 hours to get her out of his house because he "hates cats", weeks later I came home to this: pic.twitter.com/gqC5J8oIDu

2. Spoiling grandkids is their job!

My dad didn’t want me to get a cat but puts my cat in the bed with him when I’m out of town.

3. Education is invaluable.

One time my grandma bought my cat a coconut just so she knew what one was?

4. Innocent and wholesome!

My dad didn't want a dog. My mom got a dog. Now my dad tucks the dog into bed every night.

He wrote Santa a letter for the dog. 😏

5. They're her grandkids.

My mom ‘hates’ cats but shares a bed with my three cats, buys them special treats, has nicknames for them and tell them about her day while petting them

10. Do it right or don't do it at all!

more Dad Who Didn’t Want Cats:

1) holding an umbrella over them while they sit on the shed

11. Animals can sense a sucker...

I went on a business trip and my husband had to take over. He told me he wouldn't spoil our cat. When I came back, she had three types of kibble to choose from and her favourite wet food in two varieties, and she'd taken over his side of the bed.

My dad, who didn’t want a cat when I was a kid but we got one anyway and he loved her, visited me recently and made me go and buy a laser pointer so he could play with my cats while he was here.
