What would you do if your spouse/boyfriend didn't like your cats?

I certainly wouldn't get rid of the cats. I probably wouldn't start a relationship with someone who couldn't at least tolerate cats.

beauty gueen hi what would I do, I would say adios amigo, you no love da cat, youre history. then find a guy like my late husband who loved cats, dogs, and kids. a perfect guy in my estimation. I do not trust a man who doesnt like animals, as there is something missing in his make up.

No, I would not keep seeing someone new who didn't like my cats, or any of my pets. My pets are far too important to me and to my daughter. I guess he could stay if he was not only tolerant but gentle, however, I have my doubts whether it would work, since I think he'd end up pushing for me to get rid of them, or keep them outside or in a room alone or something like that. I've lived long enough to see that people tend to get worse the more they know you. The longer you live with a man, the more he is likely to hate your cats if he didn't like them to begin with.

No one who didn't like my cats would be around long. Love me, love my cats. As has been said, cats have good instincts about people. If my cat didn't like a person, out they would go.

I have an issue with people who don't like cats, I don't think I could ever have a relationship with one.

My husband had to pass the tests. The first test was my son and he aced that one. The second test was understanding the loss of my first husband. The third test was my dogs. So far...so good. The last was the cats. I have one cat that is part I've had her since she was 6 weeks old. We've always had a special bond and have been through a lot together and yes my cat had to approve. He got lucky too because she's really picky. I do not believe that had he not liked her or her him he would have been around long.

Of course I won’t get rid of my pet cats. I would try my best to let him to fall in love with lovely cats which I have got along with them for years anyway. They are just members of my family. I will feel content and easy only to stay together with my loved one as well as my lovely pets. We know cats always show their adorable act no matter in eating, playing or sitting still. I believe he, a caring person definitely will love my pets after staying with them for some times. posting and have a nice day.

If my husband and I ever got a divorce, I wouldn't have the cats anymore. I do love my cats, and all, but they are more my husband's babies than mine. I would take Snoopie and Trixie (The two dogs we've got since we got married) along with our children. He would keep Blackie and the cats. If something happened to my husband, of course I would keep my cats. I would expect anyone that I was with to like animals. And I think that most true animal lovers will put up with cats. I currently have 5 animals, and would be keeping every one of them if something happened to my husband. Any guy that I got with would have to understand that. Of course it would be obvious that I have the pets, too, since they are all spoiled rotten and run around in the house all the time.

Love her, love the crow. I think that my girlfriend will also try to love her if the cat has been living with me for years like a family member. lol. Good day, beauty queen.

Hi Beautyqueen, I would look at it that my cats were there first and come as part of the package so if he didn't like it tough he would have to go, perhaps thats why I'm single. The mad cat woman LOL. Huggles. Ellie :D

First two questions to a prospective boyfriend: 1. Do you smoke? 2. Do you like cats? Smokers and people who don't like cats are off the list. :-)

Hi there. I can't imagine anyone like that either, but it think the cats thing is an interesting problem to talk about. There are multiple choices: - she / he (in other cases) doesn't like the cats because they are violent towards she / he perhaps because she / he doesn't get along with cats. There are people that are liked only by cats, others that are liked only by dogs and others that are liked by both. In my case for example - all cats like me, but most stray dogs would start barking at me for no reason, even if i don't see them, so there's no way that they could sense fear since i can't know they are there. There have been some experiments that proved that each human emanates a specific odor that may be disturbing to certain creatures. - she / he is allergic to cats, in that case you have to get rid of the cats - she / he has no allergy, nor has a bad mojo with the cats and in that case if she / he can't live with them, that's a problem that he may not accept the whole you and should probably change HIM / HER.

When I met my guy 8 years ago I had a St Bernard, a rabbit and six cats. My guy is NOT a cat person. About a month after he moved in he suggested getting rid of the cats. I looked him square in the eye and said "They lived here first, and if you don't like it you know where the door is." LOL Needless to say he didn't ask again. I currently have 7 - but am STILL trying to find homes for several before I move. (and before anyone out there asks yet again - I can't take them due to health problems, not the move)

Hi friend,Sorry to say this,I dont like to have pets whether its a dog or cat.If I love cats much and if my spouse doesn't I would certainly give the cats to someone who loves cats.Because its a family and each ones likes and dislikes are important.When I dislike something at home where we spend all the happy moments and unhappy moments and I would not feel at home,When we are happy we would not be able to enjoy with the thing we dislike when we are sad unhappiness would only aggravate with the thing we dislike.So I would not have anything my spouse dislikes.thanks for sharing.happy mylotting.

The way I see it, I had the cats before I had the husband, and he had his cat before he had me. We are both major cat lovers, and as soon as he is finished up doing whatever he needs to do in Arizona, and comes to Canada, we are going to blend our pet families. :) If we didn't like eachother's cats, we wouldn't be right for eachother.

In my case it would be dogs since I am a dog lover. That is one of the first things that I asked my wife when we where still "studying" each other. Thank god she loves animals too. Despite she is a cat lover she does not mind having a dog around the house. I would not have settled with someone who does not love dogs for sure.

If I had a cat I wouldn't ever get rid of it for a man. I have a dog who is like my child and he is mine and my boyfriends so I'm lucky there. But if I ever was in a situation where I had to choose between a new boyfriend and my pup I would never ever get rid of my dog. If he couldn't accept ALL of me, which includes my dog, then he's not worth my time and I wouldn't want to be with someone who didn't love animals.

i would note that he doesn't like them and that would be the end of the conversation. Thats it they are part of your life he simply can't expect you to remove them if he had a dog and you didn't like it would he get rid of it no i don't think so. My boyfriend has never had cats and i had never had a dog but we manage just fine then again if he bothered he could suck it get his own house and live elsewhere i am who i am and just as if i had children my babies are part of that.

Well first of all I think when you first start dating someone you should always ask questions about the persons likes and dislikes are, and find out if they like children and animals so you know those things in advance and for me its very important that the person I'm am dating have the same love for animals as I do and if they dont I really dont see how it could work because I love all animals and if my guy dosent it will make things really difficult. example I have a friend that told me that she was dating a guy that didnt like cats but she thought she could still make it work until one day she came home from work and caught her boyfriend hurting her cat so of course she broke it off with him and my point is that before you pursue a relationship with someone I think its important to make sure you have similar interest.

I dont really care if he dont like my cat at all. I have my cat before I met him and he cant do anything but suck it up and get over it. There's no way i'm getting rid of my cat. Will he do the same if I were in his shoes? I doubt. lol
