The divide between cat lovers and dog lovers has been seemed to be wider, but the truth is that within every single cat lover is a dog lover. Quietly waiting, shrouded in darkness until the beaming light of a pawdorable pupper comes into their lives.

Reddit's r/dogs subreddit has no shortage of dog lovers sharing their love for caninekind. Whether it be stories about their awwdorable dog children, funny tails about family trips or simply sharing a cute pupper pic for the heck of it. So when we came across a story posted by a self-declared cat lover our interest was piqued. For it is rather unusual to find someone from the other side of the canine-feline divide straying from their side, especially on social media where the opinions are harsh and the comments even harsher. But this was no ordinary story, this was the story of how a cat lover finally understood just how great it is to be loved by a canine.

Our to be dog momma presents herself as a cat pawrent to two feline children initially. Explaining that it is her husband who is more so the dog lover and his dogs have always been his and nothing more. Much like a cat herself she tolerated the sweet pupper's existence but was not interested in making friends. But that all came to a stop one fateful day when she was presented with the pupper who was destined to be hers. Suddenly all that animosity towards doggos vanished and she finally understood the intensely uplifting feeling of being loved by a doggo. So if you are dealing with a stubborn cat lover in your life then please take this story as an example that they can change. It just takes the pawfect pupper to change their minds.

Hehehe, they all fall in the end. The thing about cat people that they themselves will openly admit to is that the relationships they have with their cat children are toxic. There is no other way to wrap it up, they are simply relationships that are built on demands, threats and a lot of social distancing. As a feline pawrent you are always left wanting more, wishing your cat could just cuddle you for five seconds longer than the two seconds they gave you. So of course when presented with a dog that is full of love and doting energy they will give way like a wet tissue to the goodness of the canine child.

Ah, you know how it goes with these cat loving converts, they fall heavy and they fall hard, and we totally get where they are coming from. After all those years of being ignored, unappreciated and relatively unloved by your cat child, to experience the unending love and awe of having a dog child is unparalleled. There is no wrong they can do, even if their damage is far more impactful than a feline’s. There is no trick they cannot learn, after all they will do anything for a treat. Though more specifically they will do anything you tell them to do for a treat. We say this because a cat will also do anything to get their mitts on a treat but that usually means resorting to a clawminal course of action.
