When it comes to cats and relationships… we've noticed lately that the combination can make quite a few problems arise. You would think that a furry little feline would be a great addition to a relationship, but apparently not always. Which is ridiculous. Because cats are purrfect, and anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't know what they are talking about. But alas, some people don't quite get it, and it leads to some hilarious (and mildly insane) scenarios.
We have read all kinds of stories about these kinds of conflicts. Everything from - boyfriends not being able to handle being 'second' to the cat because of their fragile egos, to boyfriends asking their girlfriends to choose between them and the cat, all the way to one boyfriend call his girlfriend unhygienic because of the cat that she sometimes kisses on the forehead. Today's story though… it might be the most petty of them all.
These kinds of questions… it's like asking for trouble. We all know what is the answer that people want to get when they ask this, but they're hard questions for a reason. But it's a trick question, and both answers would be bad in different ways. Don't ask, and you won't have to be disappointed.
And listen, although we do think that they boyfriend's reaction was a little exaggerated, and he should not have gotten this offended over a silly question, we also honestly think that this answer could have been given in a slightly better, more empathetic way.
