We're not pretending to be relationship advisers, but we stand by this last statement. If someone we were in a relationship with showed signs of neglect towards our cats, or just sheer hate towards them, we would see it as a red flag in the person. It's not just about us being cat lovers - it's about people showing their real capacity for compassion through their behavior with cats. If a person treats a cat wrongly, one should think about their relationship with that person.
Now, we're not saying the boyfriend here below treated the cats wrongly, because the kittens are not his and he's not responsible for them yet. But he clearly has no idea how to treat cats in a way that's good for them. He sets a strict limit on the number of cats his girlfriend can adopt from the litter of four she's found. Only one, he said. But what about the other three? Leave them to fend for themselves in the streets? Big nope. And what about the separation process? It's inconsiderate, to say the least, to separate sibling cats who are bonded together. These are like cat rules 101, and this boyfriend has no idea what he's talking about. And even if we assume he's not a cat person, it's wrong to think “just one cat” is easier than more - the opposite is true. Cats balance each other.

If the girlfriend can keep two and find a forever home for the other two, together, that sounds purrfect. Sure, adopting four kittens at once is tough, but at least having a pair of siblings not separated is the right thing to do in this situation.

Yes, we're also not crazy about the boyfriend's behavior here. It's more about trying to control the situation with no consideration of the kittens involved. That's red flag behavior right there.
