My FIL hated cats all his life, then retired and got a cat.
Go figure.
Awwww. There’s something about a guy who likes cats. (^..^)/
We were going through old family albums with my mom as she was dying, asking her about all the stuff.
One was of her getting all cuddly with a cat back when she was twenty-something.
“Gee mom - I don’t think I’ve ever seen you with a pet before! I didn’t know you liked cats.”
“Oh - I like kittens. I can’t stand cats!”
She wasn’t a dog person either, as a child she was bit in the face by a German Shepard - the small-town doctor was called and he stiched her up on their kitchen table. Our 80-pound mutt took a real affection to her. Surprisingly my mom loved that dog!
