I was a total and complete dog person [1] until I moved into an apartment building that didn't allow dogs but had nothing against cats. After two years of living without a fluffy fur baby, I decided it was time to become a cat person . . . and the rest is history. Now the proud mama to two pretty kitties, Grey and Swayze [2], I'm unsure how it was ever possible I didn't see a cat and grit my teeth out of pure joy. Whether you are already a cat person or need some convincing, like I did, I'm here to convert you.
Warning: you will have a clenched jaw and teary eyes after scrolling through these photos of cats — it's unavoidable.
