'It is either going to be him or the cat': 28-year-old girlfriend torn as her boyfriend demands she rehome her 'one-person' cat after two months of feline friction

When a cat mom and her boyfriend move in together, things start off mostly pawsitive. But one sassy cat named Daphne isn't kitten around. She's a classic one-human feline, full of sass, swats, and side-eyes for anyone who isn't her chosen hooman. While her brother Frank is a meowdel citizen, Daphne hisses, growls, and throws major cattitude at guests, especially at the new man of the house.

He's a dog person who whistles, pokes, and prods, then wonders why Daphne's claws come out. She's more hiss than harm, but their purrsonalities just don't mix. He wants peace in his castle, she wants to nap in peace. She wants space, he wants her rehomed.

Despite efforts to bridge the pawlitical divide with tuna bribes and YouTube cat experts, her boyfriend refuses to believe in feline diplomacy. Now her hooman is stuck in a tail-spin, torn between her purring soul-cat and a partner who won't play nice.

Is there any chance for harmony? Or is it time for one of them to pack their litter box?

Cats aren’t instant noodles, they need time to simmer and settle! Daphne’s just pawsing to adjust. New humans are like new boxes: suspicious at first, cozy once trusted.

Sounds like boyfriend needs a crash course in Cat 101. Not every feline is a Frank! Respect her boundaries, offer treats, and maybe earn her purrmission over time.
