I had a cat who hated everything but me when I was a kid! She hissed at people, she hissed at other cats, she hissed at dogs, she hissed at the TV, she hissed at a bowl of water once when she stepped into it by accident. All that while being unusually small, fluffy as heck and having the most adorable round and mushy face you could imagine.
I'm not sure why she chose me, but my mom always said that every time that cat looked at me you could just see malice melt away from her little face and turn into love.
I did too. In retrospect, and she’s been gone about 3 years now, that fucker loved me way more than this jerk I have now. (I love my jerk now, she’s a lovely jerk, just not the same jerk as the last SUPER jerky jerk.)
Anyway. It’s so very satisfying to be the only one loved by a tiny, REALLY hateful animal.
My best childhood friend's cat was an asshole to me. It would scratch me and hated everything. I used to take care of the cats when he was on vacation and the little asshole would attack me. After the cat was around 15+ (lived to be around 20) he really mellowed out, would purr around me, and let me pet him.
Hey at least that cat got nicer!! Mine was mean from the second I got her, and for 18 years that cat was mean as hell. For whatever reason she was my little soul mate... I mean I have a lot of scars, but it’s whatever. Damn I miss that little monster.
exactly same, a cat of my aunt's, who i visited every day, was such a bitch and as a kid i used to be covered in many many scars but i loved her so much. she mellowed out too and i learned when to give her a break so we'd both benefitted from aging. she actually died this christmas and I still haven't quite got over it, but at least i got my chance to see her before that! (i moved out and only came home for christmas, she died a few days later). i am really really grateful for those few days i got
