Cousin wants to rehome loyal cat that he's had for years because the feline hisses at his new girlfriend of 6 months and no one else: 'He would only be rehoming it to please his girlfriend'

Cats are family. We thought that was a simple fact that every single cat owner knew. But no, apparently we were wrong. Apparently, some people don't understand that adopting a cat means taking responsibility over that cat and having the cat until the end of its life, or until the end of yours. And we don't understand it. We, as people who have cats, don't understand how people can abandon their cats so easily, so carelessly, so callously. People abandon their pets over the smallest things.

People abandon cats when they move. People abandon cats because suddenly the cats start "bothering" them. Heck, we have even read a story, just a little while back, about someone abandoning their loyal cat of 15 years because their new girlfriend doesn't like cats and then having the audacity to ask the shelter to console them because they felt guilty. And here comes another one - another person who has had their cat for years just throwing the cat away because it hisses at their new girlfriend. These people don't deserve cats in the first place.

"[Would I be wrong] if I told my cousin he’s making a mistake by rehoming his cat because of his new girlfriend?"

Our first instinct, with stories like this, is to get angry. It's to be so, so angry at the person who dare get rid of their cat because of something like this. But you know what? After about five seconds of anger, we think to ourselves that maybe it's a good thing. Maybe, if someone is willing to get rid of their cat this easily, then they don't deserve to have that cat, and the sooner they help the cat find it's actual forever home, the better.

We don't know what the result of this story will be, not yet. The only thing we're truly hoping for is for the cat to be happy.
