But it turns out I bloody well am.
DP is a cat person and has twice managed to break me down into eventually getting a cat. Our first stole my heart and then deserted us to live with a lady down the road from our old house when DC1 was born. After much effort to try and settle him back with us we gave in and agreed that he should stay where he was happy. Luckily the lady is lovely enough to keep in touch now we've moved and let us know how he's doing but I still miss him like mad.
I vowed never again and stuck to my guns for years until last summer. I agreed we could get a cat but only if said cat matched my exact requirements. All the requirements did have good reason, but I never in a million years thought he would manage to find one that met all of them. It took him two weeks. We adopted her last July. She is amazing with the kids, she is absolutely bloody beautiful, she fits right in to our little family and she is most definitely my cat. I love her nearly as much as the kids.
Have I been in denial my whole life about being a cat person or are these cats just my furry little soulmates?

I didn't think I was a cat person

Babies are ace too in my experience but I always knew I wanted them 
.
I am still adamant at the moment that I only love our cats and wouldn't have another unless boy cat ever came home but I can't rule it out. It's not even a kitten thing, boy cat won me over with his cute kitten appeal but the beauty we have now was nearly 4 when we adopted her and I loved her instantly. I think I've gone soft

Both!
Cats manage to purr their way in to many hearts that think they wouldn't. DH is "not a cat person", I snigger quietly to myself when I hear him chatting away to his "beautiful boy".
I blame my dad. He's always hated cats. Apart from mine apparently, he wanted to hate them but they even managed to win him over .
6 months ago I would not have even thought of getting a Cat, I was a Dog Person and that was that.
We got 2 cats from CPL in October and now I am a fully paid up Cat Lady 
. My DH was laughing at me the other day as I was explaining how much I love the small of their breath .
I have always known I was a cat person and waited years years to get one as an adult. DH finally relented and we went to the shelter on my birthday to get one. He said I always told him I was a cat person but never realized the depth of my cat obsession . We are now a cat obesessed house.
