'I feel like he doesnt like her': Pawrent torn between two loves as adopted kitten and boyfriend struggle to get along after moving in together

Sometimes love comes with paws and puzzles. In this case, it's a tail of a nervous kitten, a towering boyfriend, and a pawrent trying to make everyone happy. After losing a longtime feline companion, this cat lover adopted a tiny ball of anxiety who miraculously warmed up to her, but still sees the boyfriend as a giant looming over her territory.

They just moved in together, and life has been a bit of a catastrophe. The kitten hides, runs, and occasionally claims the boyfriend's chair or clothes, either marking territory or just being her usual sassy self. Meanwhile, he's allergic, inexperienced with cats, and slightly baffled by this tiny whirlwind of fur, leaving a mix of purrs, hisses, and itchy frustrations. The pawrent just wants everyone to get along and isn't sure what to do next.

It's a classic story of hoomans and felines figuring out coexistence. With patience, treats, and slow introductions, trust can grow… even if he's 6'3" of intimidating pawsitive energy. She's hoping for peace, cuddles, and a house where love, and a little chaos, can thrive together.
