17 “I Don’t Want a Pet in This House” People That Can’t Leave Home Without Cuddling Their New BF’s

Sometimes it can happen that some family members do not agree with the idea of bringing a pet home. “That cat is yours and I’m not going to take care of it,” “You’ll take care of the dog, I’m not going to give it any attention” are some of the statements we usually hear. But what happens after the arrival of the little creature? It often occurs that it steals the heart of all the members of the family, even those who did not want to adopt it in the first place.

Bright Side loves to collect cute pictures of pets and put them together in compilations like this one, with pictures of people who didn’t want to have pets, but finally couldn’t resist the charms of their newfound furry friends.

1. “My dad told me ‘no more cats.’ He also texted me this picture of my new cat 3 days ago.”

2. “Ladies and gentlemen, my father and Loxley”

4. He went from “I don’t want a cat in this house,” to “I bought her a crib because she is a baby.”

5. “From “No more cats. Ever.” to “He’s mine, you don’t get to hold him.”

6. “Just to clarify, these are YOUR cats, I want nothing to do with them!”

7. “’No, we aren’t getting a puppy. I don’t want a puppy. I won’t like it. I won’t walk it or pay any attention to it. No.” Fast-forward to “C’mere dabba’s big boy! Let’s watch TV and nuggle!’”

8. Last week all cats were “stupid” and now “kitty-witty likes to be held on the right shoulder and not the left.”
