Well, feline fam, just when you think you've seen it all, the internet surprises you with something new. We literally spend hours each day scouring the interwebz for the silliest, craziest, funniest, and most bizarre feline stories to share with you, but we have never seen something like this before. We've written many stories about cats ending relationships, or troublesome felines disliking their pawrent's partner, but we've never seen a boyfriend take such dramatic action over the matter itself. He literally took matters into his own hands.

His girlfriend's cat was marking his territory constantly all over his stuff. To be fair, it was an older, male cat, so these types do have the tendency to warm up slower to men. However, he lost three backpacks and a pair of shoes, so he decided that enough was enough. Fast forward to now, and the cat is in love with him. His girlfriend even complains that he now feels like "his cat". Scroll down to read the full story below!

    This was almost three years ago, but when I first moved in with my girlfriend, her older male cat was spraying either on my stuff, or random things in the apartment. I had a few drinks one night and I had a stupid idea to pee on his cat bed. Just a few drops, then I went to the bathroom.

    I assumed he was being defensive of his home and wanted to mark his territory. But I had three backpacks ruined, and a pair of shoes. So in my inebriated state I thought this was a way to assert my own dominance.

    He never "marked his territory" again. My girlfriend even complains that he's "my cat" because he lays next to me or complains because I'm not petting him. For three years he hasn't relieved himself outside of the litter box.

    It sounds embarrassing, but because it worked, and he's been good even through an apartment move, I think it worked despite the unorthodox method.

    moond9 • 5h ago Cat's are quite sensitive. Don't know if the pee itself worked or you changing your mindest from "stupid cat ruining my things" to "now we are even and start over again".

  • The line between genius and madness is a thin one. We're not really sure on which side of the line this idea falls, but if it works, it works. No one was harmed in the making of this story and everything worked out for the best. Now that's a happy ending.

  • You also couldn't pay us to admit this, certainly not on the internet where someone (like us) can find it and share it with thousands of people. Well, to each their own.
