Boyfriend insists single mom ‘get rid’ of a cat she adopted while they were on a relationship break, so she gets rid of the real problem instead: ‘He said I’m choosing a cat over him’

One thing a cat mom will not stand for is a man trying to control her life with that cat. Our feline is a prized purrson in our lives, and someone who tries to take them away from us is not a furriend I want around.

If you were in a relationship that seemingly ended, you wouldn't consult the person from that relationship in your major life decisions, right? Adopting a cat is a big lifestyle choice, but once you determine you exist as a single person, independent from others, you make choices that align with your values. That's why being a single cat lady is aspirational! You do whatever you want, when you want, with your favorite kitty cat!

In this next story, a woman decides to adopt a cat from her coworker, who seemingly was romantically interested in her. The woman is coming off a fresh breakup, so she adopts the cat for herself and her children. When the woman's ex comes back into her life, he tries to convince her to get rid of the cat because it is a reminder of a suitor she had during their break, despite this being a one-sided attraction. Scroll below to see the best choice she could have made for herself and her children.
