A coworker of mine used to talk about how cats were a waste of perfectly good fur, and how he hated them, and had no problem with kicking cats if he got the chance, or shooting them with a bb gun... Then he got involved with a woman with a cat. He wasn't crazy about the cat, but she eventually grew on him. The two are now living together, and they now have 3 cats, the original plus 2 from a Ragdoll rescue group. And he's constantly telling us about the cute things HIS cats have been doing lately...
