Woman terrified of animals adopts a cute cat, she works through her fear and now spoils her kitty with all the love in the world: 'I used to be extremely afraid'

Howdy, feline fans. We can't imagine how anyone would be scared of our purrecious felines (unless, of course, you're afraid of falling too deeply in love with them, which we would 100% understand), but it happens - some people are afraid of animals. Yes, even cats. Maybe they had a bad experience with one mean one when they were young, or maybe they just never got close enough to one to see how full of love they are. But, once you experience the love of a cat, there is no going back.

One man convinced his girlfriend, who was terrified of cats, to adopt a cat. She reluctantly agreed. And what happened? Just like those dads who say "No cats in the house!" and then nap with them on the couch after a few days, she fell head-over-heels in love. Now she's no longer afraid and she and her fuzzy family are living happily ever after. Scroll down to see the whole story below!
