Dog Guys Who Got Cats for Their Kids and Now Can't Stop Sharing Pics of Their Purrfect Feline Friends

When "dog guys" gather together on the internet, things get… wholesome. You'll see what we mean shortly. Cats are an ideal pet for kids who want a sweet companion and parents who don't want a big lift in responsibilities. Cats are low maintenance, all they need is food, a clean litter box, water, and lots of love. 

Their charming nature can turn even the most extreme "dog guy" into a cat-loving king. And this phenomenon often occurs after dads provide their children with a friendly feline companion. It's no secret why dads nearly always become best friends with the cats they got for their kids or didn't even want to begin with. Get ready for a series of sweet, funny, and downright adorable photos that show just how irresistible a cat can be!

    RoundJournalist8126. 11h ago. Dude literally. I've been around dogs my whole life and also was just assumed I was a dog person but I never really grown attached to my dogs. I of course still loved them but man when I got cats my life changed lol. I know easily say I am a cat person no questions.
