01i00I wish you liked cats02i00 is the most direct way of saying it.02br
00 You can say 01i00I wish you had a soft spot in your heart for cats02i00, but that's a little strange I think.02br

0Oh yeah ,I made a typing mistake here,its not cut cates its"cute cats".Why it sounds strange to you when using soft spot?Is it not very common or what?by the way thanks alot for being so helpful.050010id1

0A soft spot means an extreme liking/love for something - very sentimental feelings about something.02br

00I guess it doesn't sound natural here as it is going from one extreme to another. If someone didn't like cats you wouldn't wish that they absolutely adored cats, you'd just wish that they liked them.0-

0 Soft corner is not correct. The idiom is soft spot. If you say soft corner no-one will know what you mean. Idioms tend to have very set wording and you can't play around with it. 0-
