‘I'm not getting rid of a cat who’s been with me longer than our marriage’: Husband refuses to ‘re-home’ his cat of 7 years, Milo, after his pregnant wife suddenly develops allergies and demands he give him away

Cats are a part of our families once we sign our names on the adoption papers' dotted lines. If you come to an agreement with those you live with, especially your spouse or partner, they can't suddenly rip that agreement to shreds seven years later—that would be absurd. Pawrents know that our felines are our prized children, and we aren't willing to re-home any animal we've been with if they're not a problem in the household. The only problem in this next story is the pawrent's wife, who is telling him to re-home his cat after seven years of ownership.

The wife's reasoning is that she is pregnant and now worried about toxoplasmosis, which in most cases is safely preventable. Many pregnant women get up close and personal with their felines, and the husband thinks this is a copout reason. He explains that his wife never really wanted to bond with their cat, Milo, but understood he was part of the deal. There's no getting rid of one of his feline children—and he makes sure she knows that.
