Many people claim they are not cat people. “I prefer dogs,” they proudly say. However, put a cute kitten in front of them and you’ll find that they quickly change their mind. The truth is that deep down, many anti-cat people secretly love the little furballs, they just don’t want to admit it. Cats have a way of working their way into your life and making you love them, even if you don’t want to. They are crafty like that.

These 55 people all said they didn’t want any dang cats in their life, but the pictures don’t lie — they might not have wanted a cat, but a cat is what they needed.
