Relationship Faces Breakup As Lady Refuses To Travel With BF Without Her Cat
In many cases, cats are regarded as low-maintenance pets. For instance, they are adept at self-grooming and don't require walks or going outdoors to relieve themselves.
Given that cats are capable of taking care of many of their own needs, cat owners may question whether it's okay to leave their pet unattended for prolonged periods of time. However, how can you be apart from a cat?
The answer is dependent on a number of variables, including the cat's age, personality, and state of health, as well as whether or not there are other pets in the house. The OP of today's story has a cat whom she adores.
OP says that the cat loves her so much, and you can really tell. In fact, the cat cuddles every night with the OP to go to sleep.
OP's BF came to her with the idea to travel to Australia. OP says she loved the idea and was completely on board. She told her BF that she wants to go, but if she can’t bring her cat, then she's not doing it.
Well, guess who found out that she can’t bring her cat? You're correct. It's the OP, and the reason is because of the breed of the cat.
The OP doesn’t want to go anymore, but her BF wasn't having it. Find out what happens next as you read the full story below.
The OP writes...
If the OP can't bring her cat, then she's not going
The OP can leave her cat behind for a month but not for a whole year
The OP has so many questions and she needs answers to them
OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:
I might be the AH because I made the decision and told my boyfriend that I won’t travel to Australia with him for a year because I can’t bring my cat. He told me that I’m an AH for choosing my cat over the relationship and the experience since she’s just a cat.
Comments rolled in, in their hundreds and here are a bunch of them
It's understandable that the OP doesn't want to leave her cat
This Redditor wants to know...
The OP dropped this in the comments section...
I’m more just trying to get people to understand that i love my cat lol. That it’s not just some pet. Some people don’t value their pets as much and I’m not that person.
This post isn’t about how much I love my bf. I could go on about how much I love my bf but it’s not about that here. It’s kinda assumed that I love my bf otherwise why would I be dating him
The OP is being a reasonable pet owner
It would have been a deal breaker
The relationship might end during that period
He's not wrong for wanting to go
Cat parents, as well as veterinarians and animal behaviorists, are aware that the common misconception that cats are distant and uncaring toward humans is untrue. Cats do create strong bonds with their people, and these bonds give them a sense of security and comfort that allows them to play and explore their surroundings.
Some cats experience worry and distress when their human or other animals are absent. So yes, the OP isn't about to ditch her pet any time soon and no AHs were found in the story.
