With the guy that I'm dating now, early on we had this conversation:

me:"I'm going to drop a bomb on you."
him: "Oh yeah?"
me:"I have two cats!"
him: "Oh, is that all? I love cats! I grew up with cats and my parents now have two, too!"
me: "HOORAY!"

He later told me he thought it was so funny that I was going to "drop a bomb" on him--but it was only about having cats! He probably was afraid I was going to tell him I had a serious disease or something...

I like this guy a lot, so I was relieved that he's a cat-lover, too. He treats my cats with respect and gives them plenty of affection. Good man!
