'Sounds like you need to rehome the boyfriend': Sleepless boyfriend wants to rehome grieving cat who cries all night; girlfriend stands up for her fluffy rescue by calling him out

Hey there, feline friends (and hooman friends). We know that we write a lot about heartwarming, seamless rescue stories where the rescued feline immediately falls in love with their new pawrents and everything is sunshine and rainbows. However, that's not always the case. A lot of cats remember their past, especially if it was purrticularly emeowtional, like the one in this thread below. It was abandoned by its previous owners who just moved away and left it behind, but luckily, a couple came and took her in with all the love in their hearts.

However, this cat missed its previous family, and began crying at night. All night. After months of the cat still grieving, the boyfriend finally got fed up. He insisted on rehoming the cat, saying it's not fair for them to keep losing sleep over a cat. The girlfriend, however, stood up for her fluffy rescue and only asked for a little bit of compassion. Is that too much to ask for? We think not. Read the full story below!

We love vocal cats. We love having full conversations with them, but, it is a double-edged sword. A needy and vocal cat can really test your patience to the limit. But, this is also a good lesson in compassion. The kitty just needs some reassurance that it will continue to be loved.

Rescue shelters are overrun as it is. This cat just needs time. It had a whole life before them that it was forced to give up, and that sort of healing doesn't happen overnight.
