23-year-old boyfriend tells his girlfriend that she cannot come to his house because his "cat is sick", she grows suspicious, follows him home and finds out that he doesn't have a cat, is actually 40 years old and is married with 2 kids

Over our time writing here, we have seen cats be the cause of many relationships ending. Unfortunately. We've seen people unable to get along with their partner's cats. We've seen people calling their partners unhygienic because of their cats. We've even seen a relationship of nine whole years end because the boyfriend didn't like his girlfriend cuddling her cat at night. Ridiculous things. And we keep telling people - figure the pet stuff out as soon as possible, because it could be a red line. 

So, we've seen people breaking up over cats quite a few times. We don't think that we have seen a cat save someone from a relationship the way that this cat did. When the boyfriend in this story suddenly said that his girlfriend cannot, under any circumstances, visit him because his cat is sick, and won't be able to visit him for a very long time because of that reason, lights started going off in this woman's head. And for good reason. Because the kicker? This cat, apparently, doesn't even exist.
