'This cat was my first cat': 26-year-old woman cancels $40,000 wedding with fiancé after learning that he "dropped her cat off" in empty park because it scratched his car

It should be purrfectly obvious if you're a fan of I Can Has Cheezburger, but just in case it wasn't, we will always choose our cats over everything else. If you can't get along with our cats, then we're just not meant to be together. They were our first loves, they've been with us through thick and thin, and have given us more happiness than most of the hoomans we know combined. So if you even think about messing with our cats, you'll be out on the curb faster than you can say "catnip".

We understand that not everyone likes cats, and that's okay. It's okay to be wrong. But that doesn't mean that we have to live with it. That's why we don't understand why non-cat people willingly enter relationships with cat people. If you're never going to change your opinion about our awwdorable fluffy felines, then why even bother? Well, it usually doesn't end well, like when this hooman cat mom called off her $40k wedding because her fiancé took matters into his own hands when he found out her cat scratched his car.

  • We can't imagine hearing those words and not understanding what he meant. The first thought would be about the cat's health, obviously, but if everything was fine with the cat, then why would he be dropping her off at the vet? Where did he go? Why did he drop her off? Our minds would be running one million miles per hour trying to figure out the reason.

  • Our heart breaks for this woman. We would do the same thing. There would be no lengths we wouldn't go to to try and find our cat again. We hope she found them and now they're living happily ever after.

    Edit: for the people concerned about the cat originally being an inside cat full time, this was not the case. The cat was an indoor/outdoor cat and he was still allowed in for bad weather or small intervals of time that way I

    Edit2: the dog was elderly and the ex didn't own this dog. It was the friend's who my ex repetitively let over stay his welcome in our home. That would be a whole saga on its own.
