'The cat is gonna steal the baby's breath': Overprotective Parents Force Daughter to Get Rid of Her Cat Because Her Sister Had a Baby, She Refuses, and the Internet Comes to Her Defense

Look, when it comes to parents and cats… it can be a little bit of a struggle. Some parents love cats and are pawfectly happy when their kids bring one home, but that's not truly for everyone. Some moms will claim to hate cats… and when fall in love with the one you bring home. Some dads will say that they hate cats… and then yes, fall in love with the one you bring home. And some parents will ask their neighbors to get rid of their cat because their kids are allergic to it… no wholesomeness here, some parents are just weird about cats. 

And that's definitely the case here. This may be the first time that we have ever heard a parent say that a cat will 'steal the newborn baby's breath'. That's a weird one. And a new one. Thankfully, this cat owner looks to be doing the right thing and keeping their furbaby.
