In the first 2 weeks my dad petting Turner was an accomplishment so I always got excited. We later realized that when lifted his paw he wanted belly rubs.

Apparently being a dad and not wanting a pet crosses species boundaries.

Seymour and I were together for over 10 years before he met my husband, the self proclaimed “cat hater” turned cat dad. So much for loyalty.

Dads Who Did Not Want Pets

r/dadswhodidnotwantpets

Welcome to /r/DadsWhoDidNotWantPets, a place to share photos of humans with the pets they didn’t originally want.

Welcome

This community is for photos and GIFs of fathers or other pet parents cuddling with pets they originally said they didn't want. 'Dads' can also be the pets' dads.

Rules

1. Posts Should Contain a Parent

The subject of the post should be a parent (either of humans or of pets) who previously did not want the pet in question. 'Fictional' parents are not allowed.

We will no longer be enforcing any sex/gender requirements for pet parents. Feel free to also browse and post on our sister sub r/momswhodidnotwantpets, but all are welcome here!

2. No Objectifying

Don't hit on anyone, or exhibit lewd behavior.

3. Keep It Family Friendly - No Upsetting Content

Please refrain from going into detail about intense themes such as (but not limited to) animal or parental abuse. In general, try and steer your thoughts and comments towards the wholesome.

4. Be Nice!

Don't be racist, don't make offensive comments about anyone depicted in the posts, don't insult others. If you wouldn't say it to a coworker in front of your boss, don't say it to anyone here.

5. No Lectures.

'No Lecturing' means no commenting on the posters' pet upbringing decisions.

6. No Low-Effort Posts or Memes.

Memes or semi-related material that are in the spirit of the sub, but don't actually show any real dads with any real pets.

7. No Animal Abuse

At mod discretion, posts that display egregious neglect or abuse of an animal can be removed. Please use common sense when reporting with this rule, i.e. do not use it to circumvent Rule 5.
