I have two "victories", and right now they're not very fond of each other.

When Seth and I got married, *I* didn't even think I'd want a cat. He certainly never entertained the notion of living with one! But it turned out I missed my old roommate's cat soooooo bad. And then Rizzo needed a home....and I was completely floored and amazed at how willing he was to take the critter in! I actually tried for a week to get him to object, because I didn't want to have a pet that was going to make him in any way unhappy. So, it turns out that Rizz and Seth love each other (even if hubby won't admit it!!). Rizzo follows him around, they wrestle, they play tag. Rizzo lets Seth do anything to him. He can check his teeth, hold his face to check his nose, you name it.

As a matter of fact, the reason that Seth, to my TOTAL shock, agreed to a second cat was that his "fatherly instincts" said that Rizzo needed sibling. The man said "fatherly instincts." About the CAT!!!
