Breakups can be tough, especially when you shared a pet with another person. Whether it's arguing over who is going to take care of your pets after the breakup, or resenting your ex significant other for pressuring you about the pets, there are sadly many opportunities for things to go awry during this stage of the breakup, especially if there are hard feelings about who got to keep the cat or dog after the breakup. 

In this case, the woman who got to keep the pet cat took the cat to the vet recently and asked her ex boyfriend if would chip in a little bit for the medical bills. He did, but told her that it would be the last time he chipped in for their former pet, which definitely didn't get the reaction that he wanted… Could it be that perhaps this man's ex is trying to send him messages through the cat? Confused, the man asked netizens on Reddit what they thought, and their responses were quite dramatic, because people sure did have a lot to say… Take a look below and see for yourself:

    Font - AITA for telling my ex that I won't keep paying for the cat?

    Aww, what a sad title! We hope that this story has a happy ending, we hate hearing about breakups where a cat gets put with just one of their hoomans. On the bright side, it seems like both people are being pretty responsible about it. Let's read on and find out more…

    Font - So long story short me and my girlfriend at the time adopted a cat, a healthy elderly one. She broke things off with me very suddenly a few years later and I was forced to move, and she kept the cat. She lives him always talks about how sweet he is, how much he cuddles when she's sad etc etc...

    Awww, we have so much respect for people who choose to adopt elderly cats! Senior animals need homes too, and it's so gratifying to take a cat that might otherwise have lived out their life in a shelter home. This cat sounds like such a sweet addition to any family…

    Font - and it breaks my heart. That cat was one of my best friends, he'd keep me company when I was the only one up at night. I could say a million and one things to praise that sweet little cat, but at the end of the day he's no longer mine. She

    Font - asked for 200 dollars for his blood work today, I gave it to here and said that I can't keep doing this. She's in a more financially stable spot, and it isn't fair to me to keep paying for a pet I don't get to see. She says I cane come over any time, but it is uncomfortable to go back to a place that was my home for many years, to see my ex, and

    Font - her family. She immediately began to threaten to throw out all of my stuff that was left there, and I was really surprised by the such sudden turn of hostility. TLDR: My ex and I got a cat together and she broke up with me, and expects me to continue to pay for his stuff, i.e. food, vet visits and sanitary pads for him.

    Font - Temporary_Badger NTA. She kept the cat, she pays for the cat. It really sounds like you need to stop talking to her altogether. Though, why haven't you picked up your stuff?

    Font - de so th forget you don't know basic math BrilliantPrint9283 We have been on good terms, and it's a single box and a shelf that doesn't fit where I'm staying now. She's always said I'll hang onto it for you but I honestly am okay with it being tossed. Stuff can be replaced, its just the hostility that really surprised and bit me

    Font - Useful_Experience423 Sounds like she was hoping for more of a bonding moment and the threats is how she's showing her hurt. NTA, but move your things asap. It's not fair for her to store that stuff for free, especially as you can't bear being in the house. How do you think she feels surrounded by your things?

    Font - te so th Torget you don't know basic math BrilliantPrint9283 I can understand that, some items I can't pick up as their a set of shelves that don't fit where I live now. And even though I bought them, I told her to keep them as she could actually use them, or she could throw them out if she'd rather that. Other then that it's a single box of miscellaneous items. I think she was honestly trying to just lash out in any way she could because she was upset. Which I understand, but it still su

    Font - jmgolden33 She is taking advantage of you financially and emotionally. Unless you get 50/50 custody of the cat then there should be no reason for you to ever spend another $ on the cat, unless it's out of the goodness of your heart. NTA.

    Font - utta ne so th forget you don't know basic math BrilliantPrint9283 OP I didn't feel like I was being an asshole especially after having paid for stuff for about a year, but, part of me was afraid I was being unreasonable, and if I was I would've liked to be told that openly so I could apologize and go from there. But it's looking like my gut feeling was generally correct
