    Woman almost rehomes her two cats for entitled boyfriend who won't compromise, until the internet stepped in with a purrfect reality check: 'Once the pets are yours, you don’t give them up for anything'

    Pets are a responsibility for life - that's what the woman in this post has hopefully learned by now. She has a 3 and 5-year-old cat, whom she is considering rehoming to move in with her boyfriend, with "severe cat allergies". He gets hives, which can't be fun to deal with at all. The problem is that he won't compromise at all - he won't take an allergy pill, won't accept them being furbidden from certain spaces, not even if they eat hypoallergenic food and vacuum every day. She was actually thinking about it, until the internet got its claws out and reminded her of the most important rule of pawrenthood: you don't give your pets up for anything.

    Cats will be with you through the good times and bad. They'll be with you through many relationships, breakups, heartaches, joyful meowments, and everything in between. We can't say the same about a boyfriend. Your cats are your responsibility and no one else's - they quite literally rely on you to take care of them. And no, it doesn't matter where you give them up to - be it a family member or a shelter, those cats will always wonder why you stopped being their hooman. 

    We hope she finds a solution to her dilemma; anything that doesn't involve treating her cats like they are any less than family will do.
