“I do love my cat more than a human I’ve known for two months”: After his girlfriend stormed out over a comment meant for his cat, this proud pet parent learned that empathy, boundaries, and one very loyal feline could heal a lot more than expected

Being able to admit your love for your cat is one of the most important things in feline-hooman relationships. Sure, the cat might never reciprocate your expression of admiration. But at least they will know that they own your soul and can do whatever they want with that, most commonly to solicit extra food from us. But the problem exists when we bring another hooman into the picture. Now, if they are feline fanatics as well, then there should be little to no issues, in fact possibly the opposite.

But if they are not feline obsessed, then you have to be ultra careful what you say around them. For all too often we slide into gushing over our cute cat children, telling them that they are the smartest, sweetest, most beautiful creatures on the planet. But if someone who is ambivalent towards cats hears you say that to your cat instead of them, then you are in for some trouble. Which is exactly what happened in this titillating and tantalizing cat story.
