When men are afraid of cuddly things, it is not because we don’t think we’ll connect. It’s because we know we cannot stop ourselves from connecting.
Dad-who-didn’t-want-a-cat sitting there, in love with the cat, isn’t proving himself wrong. He’s proving himself right. This is exactly the situation he wanted to avoid. Being helplessly in love is scary, and animals are so pure that falling in love can’t be avoided.
