There are pet people and then there are people who claim to be human but still say they definitely don’t want a pet.
Okay, fine. I know there are responsible reasons to not want a pet, like not being financially able to care for them, or in a living situation that’s not conducive, or you travel or work a lot.
For most of us, though, those claims come to an end the moment “our” next pet worms their way into our lives.
Which is exactly what happened to these 18 people, who changed their tunes rather quickly.
17. I mean, he does look interested.

16. All animals can smell a sucker.
I went on a business trip and my husband had to take over. He told me he wouldn't spoil our cat. When I came back, she had three types of kibble to choose from and her favourite wet food in two varieties, and she'd taken over his side of the bed.

15. He’s clearly appalled at how they’re being deprived in his absence.
My dad, who didn’t want a cat when I was a kid but we got one anyway and he loved her, visited me recently and made me go and buy a laser pointer so he could play with my cats while he was here.

12. This is so innocent and adorable.
My dad didn't want a dog. My mom got a dog. Now my dad tucks the dog into bed every night.
He wrote Santa a letter for the dog.

My mom ‘hates’ cats but shares a bed with my three cats, buys them special treats, has nicknames for them and tell them about her day while petting them

One time my grandma bought my cat a coconut just so she knew what one was?
