When the right cat comes into one's life, one may or may not become a "cat person," but the bond can be so incredibly strong, they won't even realize how much they love their furry little friend.
A co-worker hated cats, a favorite saying that "they're a waste of fur." Then his wife brought home a Ragdoll from a rescue. Within a month, they had gotten a playmate for the first (and later on a second), and he was talking about all the cute things that his cat was doing.

Our kitty is 19 years old. Hubby's not a cat person but really gives this old cat such wonderful TLC. He feeds her stinky canned food twice a day...because "she likes it, and deserves it!". She knows when it's time for the canned food and begins the demanding stares, right on time.
Every time we think it's her *time*, she bounces back with another life :) She's well past her 9th one.
