How many times you've heard someone declaring that cats are stupid and who needs them anyway? We sure did at least a couple, and each time the story ended the same way - the cat hater unexpectedly got themselves a cat, and now they're best friends forever. Precisely because of these feline hatred imposters and their complete turnarounds into cat person Bored Panda has compiled a list proving that resisting a cute cat's charm is a lot more difficult than you'd imagine.
Sure you can say you don't want a pet cat, and hey, you might even mean it, but that doesn't mean a kitty cat doesn't want you, and if it does then no amount of resistance will stop it from creeping into your life and stealing your heart. Don't believe us? Then keep on scrolling to see the funny photo proofs for yourself, and feel free to add your own pictures to the list!

Cats will never sleep in that expensive bed you buy for them. Ever. They always want other people sleeping places. The dogs bed, the hoomans bed (or closet), the SOs shoulder...

People who say they are not a cat / dog person - take note of this. Dogs pull you out of yourself; dogs are there for the rough and tumble belly laugh stuff. Cats pull you into yourself - more introspective, more brain thinking. Nothing cast in stone with my statement - just something I think. I grew up with both cats & dogs. Love them both, live with 4 cats and love when I see my sister's dogs. They are both good for human beings.

This for me is very true! My cat helps me meditate and relax. Now I need a dog to help me be active and live life to the fullest!

I feel like people who claim, that they hate cats most likely never had a chance to play with one. They see them as aggressive, scratching and biting creatures... And that is far from from what most cats are. I refuse to believe, that this adorable, purring ball of fur could be still hated after some quality time spent together. Impossible!
Rafaella Bueno 9 years ago
It can not be about not liking cats rather than not wanting to have one in the house. My dad doesn't even want to consider having a cat because he's worried about it breaking his things. The dog won't climb the furniture. I imagine people who don't want dogs also imagine the ones that destroy the house if left alone for 5 minutes.

It's great that they have changed their minds but why did they hate cats to begin with? I don't have much respect for people who hate animals. Any animal. For no good reason(bitten or injured by one is a good-ish reason obviously).
Rafaella Bueno 9 years ago
I assume "hate" here means not wanting it close to them let alone in their houses, rather than "I hope they get hurt" type of hate. It's more of a "we don't get along" type of thing, just like some people have with kids.
