You might think you're not a cat person but the second you lay your eyes on those furry little divas and get to witness their grace firsthand, you become one. Just like these 50 folks.

Just like Twitter user Ruby's (@roobeekeane) dad. At first, he was like 'No no no' but when he heard the 'meow meow meow' he quickly changed his mind. Now the man is showering them with attention and care, spoiling the critters whenever he gets a chance to.

After Ruby tweeted pics of the new friends, they quickly went viral. Now, over 72K likes later, people are sharing their own similar stories, telling how felines are finding ways into their loved ones' hearts.

"My dad's kind, caring and funny. He can always cheer me up or calm me down," Ruby told Bored Panda.

The family had a very old, sick cat who died in 2018. "It was so sad and traumatic and my dad said 'can we have a year off from having cats?' Little did he know my mum and I had already put down a deposit to adopt two kittens.

"You adopt a cat knowing their lifespan is shorter than yours and you're probably going to be very sad at some point. But the joy and friendship they bring is worth the heartbreak," Ruby explained. "After our old cat died, I think my dad forgot how fun it is to have cats. Also, Lucas and Dustin immediately loved him and sat on him for hours so he didn't have a choice but to bond with them."

Ruby's dad already knows that he's internet-famous and thinks it's hilarious. She also tried explaining it to their cats: "I showed Lucas the post and he batted my phone out of my hand and sniffed it a lot. I think the fame has gone to his head."

When my dad was dying his puggle was diagnosed with cancer. Dogs were the only creatures my dad felt comfortable around, and he was very kind to them. Our prayers came true, she outlived him oh, not by much, but he was spared the pain of losing her.

Awww..not related to this but we accidentally killed a tiny chipmunk in our heavy duty rat trap in our kitchen. It was the same chipmunk my husband tried to befriend when he would feed the squirrels in the yard. It was so sad he had the dead chipmunk in his hands almost crying. He buried it and says hi when we walk past the grave.

He knew she would break his heart, we all do and we all surrender to unconditioned love.

Nothing equals the love you have for a precious pet.

I had a little shitzipoo I adopted in 2001. He was 4 years old and had been abused horribly. I loved him (Phugly) to no end and had to rrename him Sir Phugley Phartsalot because he would turn around in the bed at night and frt in my face. He had steps built so he could get u0p on the bed. One afternoon, he ran up the steps and into the wall. He was blind. I took him to the vet and he also had cancer, so I had to let him go. His little head was in my hand as he died. I have his ashes in an urn now with a bit of his fur. And now, my eyes are leaking at the thought of losing him.

He knows when he's beaten. Sensible man. And he'll save a fortune in heating bills!

I like how they have taken up all the space, leaving him sitting on the edge :-)

Things are so much easier once people realise it's the cat who will decide if they're a cat person or not!
