‘Her boyfriend doesn’t live with us and technically should have no say': Roommate demands cat’s removal after boyfriend’s allergy drama, leaving pawrent caught between love, leases, and litter boxes

In this fur-filled fiasco, one cat-loving tenant found herself caught in a hissterical standoff between her new feline friend and her roommate's sneezy boyfriend. Two weeks ago, she brought home the purrfect kitty. Sweet, cuddly, and totally unaware of impending drama. The roommate initially agreed to see how it goes in two weeks, but apparently meant exactly two weeks on the dot. Now, her boyfriend is claiming "severe" allergic reactions… even when he's not in the apartment. Sounds a little pawssuspicious.

This cat parent has gone above and beyond. Vacuuming, purifying, spritzing, and even buying allergy-reducing food that takes weeks to kick in. Meanwhile, the boyfriend refuses to try allergy meds, acting like Claritin is contraband. The roommate's demands for the cat's eviction have reached full catastrophe levels, but really, how much power does an off-site boyfriend have in a shared apartment?

In the end, it's a classic clash of roommates, boundaries, and one very adored cat caught in the middle. With patience and compromise, there's still hope for a peaceful paws treaty.

If the boyfriend doesn’t even live there, it’s a bit strange for him to be making demands. He’s practically a guest. Guests don’t get veto power over resident cats or cuddle privileges.

The real issue here seems to be the agreement itself. If it’s not resolved, it could cause roommate tension. Try sitting down with her to talk things through and find another solution.

Maybe you could compromise by keeping the cat in another room when he visits, or he could just take allergy meds before coming over. Seems like a fair middle ground for everyone.
