Twitter Thread: Parents Who 'Didn't Want Cats' Who Now Pamper Them In The Most Hilarious Ways

Oh, it's a tale as old as time. Every single cat person knows it. The stories are iconic, the stories are relatable, and they are unforgettable. The stories of people who hated cats falling in love with them. The most iconic variation of this story is, of course, dads who didn't want cats falling in love with cats. But there are many other subcategories of people who claimed they didn't want cats suddenly loving cats. And this time, we're talking about the moms' side. 

It happens the exact same way with every person every single time. They will fight tooth and nail to convince you that they don't want cats in their home, for this reason and that reason. They will do everything in their power to make sure that the floofball will not set paw in their home. And then… when you bring the kitty in anyway, suddenly, in a complete 180, these people who 'didn't want cats' are suddenly the ones pampering them the most.
