It's easier to convert someone into being a cat lover than you might think. Especially if they love to nap! One thing that cats love to do is sleep, and even more than that, they love to sleep next to something warm. So, if you put a mom or dad who likes to nap together with a new cat looking to snooze a little bit, you're almost certain to make a match made in heaven. That's exactly what happened to this mom below, and it's quite pawssibly the cutest thing ever!

Like many parents, she was resistant to the newly adopted fluffy feline that was entering her purrfectly clean and organized home. "It will get cat hair everywhere", "It's not allowed on the furniture", and "It's dirty! Yuck" were all she could say. Until one day, her kids found the two of them snoozing together in purrfect harmony, and now, they are often found snuggled up together like two bugs in a rug. 

It's always the ones that resist the hardest who end up becoming the ones who are most attached, right? Usually it's the dads who don't want the cat, but this time, this cute kitty won mom around and now has her wrapped around his awwdorable little paws. Scroll down to see some cute pics of them below!

    Revenant62 · 1d ago Cats are not just cute cuddly pillows. They are cute cuddly PURRING pillows. After a hard day with unreasonable hoomans, the purring makes all that stress go away, far far away.

  • With a cat that cute, she didn't even stand a chance. Like, not even a 1% chance of fully resisting his feline charm. His smile, those air biscuits, and his awwdorable coloring are the purrfect trifecta to convince someone to fall in love with him. He knows exactly what he's doing.

  • If there's one thing in this world that we can equate to the elixir of life, it's purring. If we could find a way to bottle, manufacture, and sell it, you really would be able to buy happiness. It's like cuddling with a massage chair that never runs out of batteries.
