When I met my DH, he was not a cat person. I told him that if he forced me to choose between him and the cat, the cat would win because I wasn't turning her into an outdoor kitty (she was a stray cat who'd adopted me and she was already declawed by her previous owner) and she was in my life first. Thus began the socialization of the now husband into a cat lover.
Callie wasn't fond of the "new guy" and he wasn't fond of her, but he never mistreated her or yelled at her and he's always very gentle with her. However, he never liked her to be on the bed or in his lap. Ten years later, all that's changed! Here's a pic I snapped of them together last night.
She was in his lap for about 10 minutes and the entire time, my husband was talking softly to her and petting her! They've both come a long way. This never would've happened 10 years ago.
