When did you first realise you loved your cat (i.e they had 'won' !)

I've had my adopted cat for 2 months now ( rehomed from blue cross)- he is my first cat and within a week I wondered how I'd ever lived without one but we were still 'getting to know each other' so he wasn't overly affectionate! He isn't allowed to sleep in my room as I don't want him to disturb my sleep. He usually sleeps outside the door and is waiting when I get up.
This morning I was awake early so let him in and got back into bed ( I don't usually do this) - he jumped up, padded a bit then lay down. He then proceeded to nudge closer and closer until he could touch my face with his paw - and that's all he wanted to do. If I moved my face a bit he just wriggled until he could touch it gently again with his paw. As soon as he realised I wasn't going to move he fell asleep- and I realised that he has finally won- I am now 100% his cat slave and will spend the rest of his life trying to make him happy 😀

SnoozyMcsnoozy- I wanted a dog too ..... I now love my cat so much it hurts though .....

When I saw him on the rescue website. There was something about him but DH said no, we weren't getting a cat until later on. That was in the December and by my birthday in March I'd worn him down and he paid the adoption fee as my present!

When we had the homecheck we were told we were too late and Harry had been rehomed so we agreed to go and meet another cat a couple of days later. I then got a phone call saying that Harry's adoption had fallen through and was I still interested? We went to meet him a couple of days later on a stormy night. He nipped DH and rubbed around my legs and the rest is history.
