Every kid asks their parents if they can get a pet. Whether it's a cat, a tortoise, or even just a goldfish, most parents are hesitant to bring another mouth to feed into the house, so usually, the parents will say no–and there are none more skeptical than the dads. Dads are notoriously anti-cat when their kids beg them for pets. Whatever prejudices exist between daddos and cattos, there's certainly one dad out there who has abolished all hesitation towards the feisty felines, after reluctantly bringing 4 of them into his home.
As an empty-nester, this dad now has more cats in his house than people–and it seems like he's happier that way!
A daughter recently went viral for documenting her dad's wholesome relationship with the cats he never wanted. A once apprehensive collaboration, this cat dad has soared to new heights with the felines, spoiling the kitties more than he ever did her daughters. And fortunately for us, this cat purrsuasion has convinced us all to adopt another feline, because why not? Why can't we have more? Scroll onward to read more about this delightful dad's story and the cats who turned him into a feline fanatic.
