George is a consummate cat dad, pictured here with his first love, Sally Roo. I truthfully do not know if George became an "accidental cat dad" with Sally Roo, but I know that their shared love has transcended her passing.

It's amazing how many people who formerly preferred dogs, or just plain didn't like cats, became 'accidental cat parents.' Cats often have a way of tiptoeing into your heart when you least expect it. Perhaps a cat appeared outside your door on a rainy night. Or you went to an animal shelter to adopt a dog, and a paw reached out of a cage to grab your sleeve as you passed by the cats' area. Did a child (or a spouse) come home one day with a cat, pleading "Please, can we keep her?"
Share your story of accidental cat parenthood here. Perhaps your story will convince other holdouts of the value of cat parenting.
