Dad Insisted He Didn’t Want A Cat, But Now Look At Him! – The Cutest Pets Who Won Over Their Dads
Convincing dads to welcome a pet into the family can be tough. Often, they begin unsure and less excited about furry companions until they get some direct experience.
If you want to win him over, let him spend time with a pet. More often than not, he'll grow fond and eventually fall in love—just like these dads did.
"I Didn't Want A Cat"
A kitten perched on your hoodie while you chop vegetables is a rare and touching moment. It's obvious this guy already shares a strong bond with the little furball.
"I Don't Want Any Extra Responsibilities..."
You might not be looking for more responsibilities, but once that dog arrives, you won't be able to resist. Just look at the joy on this little guy’s face!
He Didn't Want The Dog Around Him Because It Was "Too Hot"
When his daughter called the dog over, he reassured her it was fine. It's amazing how fast someone can change when it comes to loving a pet, isn’t it?
"Pupdate: My Dad Now Swaddles/Cuddles Louie (The Dog) When There's A Thunderstorm"
Check out that joyful smile on the dog's face and the pure warmth shining from the dad. This snapshot captures a perfect moment, and it’s wonderful to see the father embracing the pet with such ease.
"We Don't Need A Third Dog"
"Bringing three dogs into the home is always a win—especially when the third is this irresistibly cute little puppy!"
"My Dad Says 'Animals Are For Eating, Not For Pets'"
This cat swiftly captured the father's heart. Let’s just hope he never gets the idea to eat it—there’s no way he could bring himself to do that with this one.
He Has Allergies And Didn't Want This Cat...
Despite his allergies, this man didn't let anything stop him from connecting with his cat. Here he is, searching under the fridge for cat toys—if that isn’t a true sign of love, then what is?
"He's Not Allowed In The House And Definitely Not On The Sofa!"
Looks like this guy didn't hold firm to his rules after all—now the little pup is all snuggled up on the sofa with him. That’s just the magic pets have, isn’t it?
"'The Cat Is Always Such A Pest!' —My Husband"
Would you want to cuddle with a troublemaker? Probably not, but what's got this dad so hooked on his cat? Looks like he’s totally smitten now.
"He Keeps Threatening To 'Put Him Back In The Alley Where He Found Him.'"
People often make empty threats, and those about pets usually never end up being real. After all, who could ever seriously threaten a sweet cat like this?
"I Hate Cats. If You Get A Cat, I'm Not Going To Visit"
And here he is, visiting and napping with the precious cat. A pet can turn the toughest tough guy into an animal-loving son of a gun quicker than Steph Curry pulls up for a three-point shot.
"I Think Dads Say They Don't Want Pets Because They Can’t Handle The Bond"
Talk about a picture-perfect moment! Sharing a pillow with the dog right in the middle of the floor is truly priceless, especially considering this dad once said no animals would be allowed in the house.
"A Perfect Example Of How Opinions Can Change—Today, He's A Cat Dad!"
I'm puzzled by the line on that cat's back. Is it a leash? If so, this guy has definitely had a change of heart if he's now out there walking his cat.
Dad: "If We Get A Tortoise I'm Not Looking After It"
This man isn't just caring for his tortoise; he's sharing pictures of other tortoises with it! One shows a tortoise munching on a stack of pancakes, while the other seems to be reaching for something.
"We Have Too Many Pets! No More!"
"What was meant to be a 'no more' quickly turned into a cozy cuddling session with the new cat. It seems this house has a soft spot for pets with brown fur, as the cat's color matches that of the dog, who now looks a bit neglected for attention."
"My Husband Who Didn't Want A Cat Loves Our Cat So Much"
"You can tell he has a deep affection for the cat by the way he gazes lovingly into its eyes. The kitty seems to soak up the attention, clearly enjoying the bond with its dad more than anything else."
"From Calling Him 'The Big Black Thing' To 'I Can’t Get Up Yet, He’s Using My Arm As A Pillow!'"
"That's how it goes with pets you think you won't like. They quickly grow on you, and before you know it, they're using your arm as a pillow."
"Don't You Dare Get A Cat, I Hate Cats"
Napping with the new cat doesn't help your case against owning one. How can you hate something that small and curious? This dad found out the hard way that you can't.
"If You Get A New Puppy, I Won't Want Anything To Do With It"
The irony of his statement is hilarious. It looks like these two are the best of pals now, and it probably didn't take very long. That sleeping face is one of the cutest.
From "I Just Don't Know" To Being A Cat Dad
When someone is on the fence about a pet, you might as well just get it. The moment the little thing comes into the home, the person won't mind anymore.
"My Boyfriend Who 'Doesn’t Like Rodents' Bonding With My Two Ferrets"
How can you not want to play with little ferrets like this? If they have proper home training, hanging out with ferrets is a must, even if you don't like rodents (which ferrets aren't, by the way).
"Keep That Mongrel Away From Me!"
Get him away from you? Why would you ever want that when you can have him under your legs as you enjoy watching TV? That sounds like a pretty relaxing day.
"My Dad Rocking The Cat Who Wasn't Allowed In 'His Chair'"
Hey, after looking at a small cat for longer than 15 seconds, you can't help but feel a certain way. You might want to start allowing it places you didn't want it before.
"He Said Small Dogs Were Useless Literally 30 Minutes Before This Photo"
Small dogs are useless? I beg to differ! Smaller pooches make solid companions, and they aren't much of a threat to little kids and strangers. Plus, they make you smile.
"Dad: 'Don’t Get A Pig!' And Here’s Dad And The Pig..."
Having a pig for a pet sounds exciting and exotic. You don't often come across folks who have pigs as their primary pet, so maybe that explains why he changed his mind.
"He Used To Hate Cats. Now He 'Doesn’t Want To Mistreat Them By Getting Up.'"
Yeah, the last thing you want to do is mistreat a cat when they're sleeping by getting up. You have to ride out the nap and hope they wake up soon.
"There's No Way We’re Getting Another Dog Again!’"
Hug him tight because you never know if you'll get another one! The more dogs that come home, the less time you have to give to the one you thought would be the only one.
"I Would Never Sleep With A Dog, I Wouldn't Even Acknowledge Him"
The lie detector determined that was a lie! You said you wouldn't acknowledge the dog, but this picture shows evidence to the contrary. You're also sleeping with it, which is another thing you said you wouldn't do!
"We’re Not Keeping Her, I’m Taking Her To The Pound Tomorrow"
Wow, offering to take the pet to the pound is a huge threat. By the looks of it, though, he's more likely to take the pup to the vet for a checkup. He should think before he speaks next time.
"We Really Don't Need Another One"
I'm guessing this dad said they don't need another one at least twice. Now, he's sitting down with two cats in his lap and another waiting for a turn; this is golden.
