20 Tough Men Who Just Needed A Furry Friend To Soften Their Hearts

Not everyone wants a pet.

It is just something that requires a lot of thinking before you make a decision. And while we may love animals, it doesn’t mean everyone is ready to sacrifice their privacy and many more things that come with it when you adopt a pet. And that is exactly why the following people didn’t want a pet at first. However, their families ended up changing their minds and they are clearly glad that they got a pet.

After all, it is always wholesome to see people accepting the fact that they’re big softies at heart. Honestly, it seems that dads are usually the ones who always say that they don’t want pets. But I think it is because they don’t think their kids will take care of the animal so they end up saying no. However, after they et a pet, it seems they want the fur baby all to themselves which is understandable.

You can see what I am talking about by scrolling and taking a look for yourself.

#1 We all have a fear of stepping on our pets.

No matter how much I begged, my dad never let me have a pet when I was younger. This is him dragging my cat in a box (which he named The Kitty Express) while making train noises and laughing like a child.

#4 He changed his tone quite quickly.

My dad: ’CAN WE RETURN IT??? IF WE KEEP IT, IT CAN’T GO ON THE FURNITURE AND I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.’ My dad, out loud, mere days later: ’Let’s move this pillow to give you more room. Are you comfy? Do you want some pets? Let’s read together.’

#5 I wonder if that is a bed or something that is not furniture.

It took 3 years to convince him since ’he’s more of a cat person.’ He finally agreed as long as the pup wasn’t allowed on the bed or any furniture. This is now what I wake up to every morning.

#6 The man clearly wants the cat to stay with him.

Honestly, I can speak for an experience that seeing your family member falling in love with your pet even though they said no first is adorable. My father was similar to the men on this list. He didn’t want a cat either even though he doesn’t hate cats. But when I got a cat, he spends more time spoiling the kitty than I ever do.

#10 I love that sweater!

My husband ’doesn’t like cats’ and refused to let me get a kitty for the longest time. He now gives the kitten a dab of cream cheese every morning and naps with him on the couch but insists that he doesn’t like the little dude.

#12 The love he has for the kitty is clear.
