How to transform someone from a cat person to a dog person?

[Silvermoth]

Hi all,

My boyfriend says he hates cats but he's never really come into contact with one. We're moving in together soon (yay and yes he's wonderful) and I wouldn't mind a cat eventually. How do I make him a cat person? Is there some sort of cosmic Ray you can buy from IKEA (my budget is not great)

In before the predictable hybrid human comments

And don't say accept him for what he is, it's a dreadful lifestyle choice

You can push him out of a high rise window and let cats bite him back to life. It worked in that one movie.

Sounds like he hates cats because he thinks it's funny or "cool" to hate cats. Tell him to grow up and get over his prejudice. If he can have a dog you should be allowed a cat. Get a kitten and raise it and it will be a good loyal pet and most likely won't cause any problems with a dog. Have him get a puppy and raise it alongside the kitten.

Unless, he is severely allergic to cats. If he is then I sympathize with his aversion to cats. My buddy was allergic to cats and he couldn't enter my house without sneezing his head off, wheezing, and his eyes getting irritated. Or if your boyfriend was attacked by a horde of cats when he was young. I would be weary of cats too if that happened to me. But aside from one if those two things happening in his past, and providing he isn't childish, he should be able to get over you having a cat.

Make him watch the Broadway show Cats on DVD, and then tell him owning a cat is nothing like that.

It's easy, Silvermoth. What you need to do is call Dr. Moreau, he's not easy to reach so you have to make travel arrangements and follow the signs to a remote island off the coast in southern Pacific Ocean. From there you have to make an appointment with Dr. Moreau and make sure you have your cat person sedated during the entire time or else it will start biting. It'll cost roughly a couple hundreds of thousands of dollars for the procedure, but I'm sure you'll find a way. Also... don't get lost on the island.

You must sacrifice his soul to Felinious, the Hype god of cats. Only then will he understand.

Haha oh my gosh!

(I won't push him out of a building though)

You're either referring to Batman Returns or that TMZ video of Courtney Love.

This is pretty much what I thought when I read the title. My mind immediately jumped to animal-human hybrids.

You can't, in my experience, a person is either one or the other, you can't like both or 'get on' with both.

I know plenty of people who like and have both cats and dogs. But they started off as lovers of both animals. I don't really see people who are cat people becoming dog people and vice versa.

The title to the thread asks how to change someone from a cat person to a dog person.

The creator of the thread then in the first posts asks how to change someone from a dog person into a cat person.

The creator of the thread doesn't know what in the hell he wants.

I think he needs a recipe for chocolate pudding instead.....but since he's fickle I want give it to him.


Yes, I know the thread creator may be a girl and not a guy.....but they may be a banana pudding lover instead of a chocolate pudding lover too....so Hail Mary and pass on the left.

 

[Immortalfire]

I want some pudding.

.....why?

The thread starter is obviously a woman/girl. Typical female trait to want to change a person.

Here's a suggestion; respect and accept his differences… or find another boyfriend.

Uh...

You mean my cat won't be singing Memory and inappropriately brushing up against me while trying to cup a feel in the audience?

If your cat keeps telling you he was a Graham-trained dancer at Juilliard and keeps asking you to contact the French embassy, you might have problems.

Actually I'm a guy and you're a sexist pig
