Entitled Boyfriend Has Toilet Envy For Girlfriend's Cat

Even in a healthy relationship, couples argue sometimes. The problem is that if a couple starts arguing too frequently, or about unnecessary things, that could mean trouble. So, when one woman posted to Reddit this week about some relationship issues she and her partner were having, our red flag radar immediately started going off. Apparently, this woman has a rescued senior cat, a very handsome gentleman that you'll get a chance to meet in a minute. The cat can't use litter boxes so instead he was trained to use the toilet, and the arrangement has worked for both OP and the cat for a number of years now. But, now that this boyfriend is in the picture, he's having some trouble understanding why the cat prefers to potty like the people, and OP is stuck wondering if she's done something wrong.

Thankfully, with Reddits help OP was able to realize that having a cat that uses the toilet is an incredible gift, since she never has to clean out a litter box again! Also, as we mentioned with the red flags above, for someone to come into your life and then try to manipulate your pets' ingrained behaviors is a major concern, and should make anyone in that situation think for a minute before taking that relationship further. Regardless, this woman and her cat seem to be on the same page, and if all goes to plan, the boyfriend will wind up dropping his argument soon. If OP lets him read any of these Reddit responses, he'll definitely be embarrassed enough to drop it altogether.

Cat Trainer Extraordinaire

So, a few extra notes here that made us suspicious of this boyfriend. He moved into OP's house, which many couples wind up doing, but then he started trying to fight with her to make the house less clean! He obviously doesn't understand litter boxes, or cats, or common decency, because why on earth would someone want a log of poop sitting out in the open in the bathroom all day, instead of floating in the toilet every once in a while?

The Poor Baby

As this woman gives more info about her senior cat, we can't help but feel sorry for the poor little fella. He obviously had a very hard life until OP was willing to take him in, and now that he's developed some solid routines, this new jerk is butting in and trying to change them. Thankfully though, it sounds like OP has her cat's back.
