My buddy got himself a cat a few years ago. (She adopted him)
I would tease him about becoming a cat person. "I will never become a 'cat guy', I'm not going to spoil her. She's just a barn cat to keep the mice out"
The barn in question was the Mother-in-law house at his folks that he was staying in.
After a few months of us cat owners teasing him, I asked him point blank "have you ever slept in an uncomfortable position as to not disturb your cat?"
After a good half minute pause we got a "err, I mean yeah, I don't want to disturb her if she's asleep!"
He became a total cat dad until the day he moved into a dog house and left her with his folks. He still dotes on her when he comes home to visit.
