A year ago I was told 'we are not getting a cat - please' by my lovely DH.
A year later has has 'accidentally' said he loves our cat TWICE who is at this moment purring on my lap. Cats are so misunderstood - I'm so glad we got ours.
Just wanted to share

I think there's something missing from your post, Op.
Come on now everyone knows. The Mumsnet rules about cute kitties and photos.

All you have to say is something along the lines of 'I don't understand why the cat likes you so much when I...........'
Job done.

Strange innit? My father hates cats, (threw pepper at their faces, drowned kittens for pence 
) and my sister took on that hatred. Since she took on her own opinions, she has 9 and luffs them...
Twas v. satisfying when my father came to stay, and ran downstairs with a face like 
asking me to remove the hissing beast from underneath the duvet. Bambos was the most chilled out, lovely cat a body could meet. I suspect he sensed my fathers' guilt and shame...

What a cute kitty 
My DH always refused to have a cat, saying he was allergic to them. He's absolutely not, just thought he didn't like them.
He eventually caved in & we got a rescue kitten. DH & 15 year old cat are now the best of friends.

Well cats don't, generally, do what you ask them to - unlike dogs who sit there with a 'How can I serve you?' look on their face.
That doesn't mean there's no relationship though.

My partner had a dog when he was young, and his son had various hamsters growing up, but he was allergic to cats. Then he met me, had very little reaction to my cats (a very good sign that we are meant to be!) and now spends most evenings with one on his lap, chatters to them all in the morning, gives them each some special "me" time, and, this morning I found that one of them was in the bathroom with him.
I think I've successfully trained him in the ways of cat ownership now!

What a beautiful cat FishyPie! I posted when my DH finally accepted the cat too
Now, I hear him talking to the cat all the time and he'll almost greet the cat before he greets me!
He also has got into the terrible habit of indulging the visiting black cat every single time he/she miaows at the door and I have to tell him off for sneaking him/her treats. His Highness doesn't seem to mind another cat's presence and keeps trying to snuggle on the black cat's preferred chair. His Highness does get a tad confused as to why I hide his food bowl in a cupboard when the black cat comes visiting though.
I think DH is hoping black cat is a stray and I'll let him adopt, but black cat is microchipped so I think someone would miss him/her.

I give it three weeks before you find him coming into the house and asking 'Where's my girl, then? '
