    'You just aren't compatible': 21-year-old cat mom's 23-year-old boyfriend demands she get rid of her cat of 7 years because he puts his claws on the counter and sleeps in her bed

    When they say "it's my way or the highway", you know that they're going to be trouble. Relationships are all about communication and compromise. Rarely does one part of the purrtnership ever get 100% their way. Especially when it comes to them making demands about our precious fur babies.

    We let our cats go everywhere except the kitchen counters, and even then, they still manage to get up there when they think we won't notice. It's their house too, and we believe that they should enjoy it to its fullest. Plus, we honestly don't sleep as well if they're not snuggled up next to us. Not everyone gets it. Some people are light sleepers and can't sleep with too much movement in the bed, and others just don't like the cat hair on the blankets. That's fine, but that doesn't mean we have to think it's unsanitary.

    And here's where it all comes to a screeching halt: when one purrson makes an ultimatum about their partner's cats, we say a very polite, "no thank you" and walk away. It means that we're simply not compatible, and that's okay, but you can't ask them to change, and they won't unless they want to. You also shouldn't change if you don't want to because it's your life and they're your pets.

    One ultimatum will lead to another, and you don't want to go down that road. See what happens with this ultimatum-inducing boyfriend below when he tries to force his girlfriend to give up her cats because he thinks they're unsanitary.
