My now wife didn't really like cats when I met her and was allergic to the point of the hair giving her little welts.

Fast forward a couple few years and she loves my cat and just ends up taking allergy pills every day and dealing with the itching.

Fast forward a few more years when that cat dies and she says she doesn't think we can ever replace him.

Fast forward one month and she comes home with a flyer for a rescue cat she wants to adopt.

And we did and she couldn't be happier.

Cat: "Oh, you still think he's YOUR boyfriend?"

I’d like everyone to look at this because this is proof cats also abide by the “they fell asleep, guess I’m stuck here” rules.

My cat abides by the "they fell asleep, guess I need to paw their face to let me out of the room now" rules.

Imagine dating someone who says any of those things.

I know right! When someone says they have allergies, I'm like no thanks weirdo, I don't want your disgusting allergies. Go cry into the tissues you have in your pocket already probably because you have allergies loser!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I know this was a joke but im sorry you are getting down arrows for it.

Looks real allergic with his face buried in the cat.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am allergic to cats and have allowed a cat to rub it's head against my face multiple times, because that cat was a bro (and I had loratadine).

Also don't really like cats in general because most of them are jerks, just that specific one was, as I mentioned, a bro.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah no hate on that. But if i tell someone i have a cat and they tell me im allergic im like. Okay we can go one of two ways here and i will try my best not to show up with cat hair on my clothes.

Allergies so bad that he died.

Allergies are not as linear as allergy = death/miserable. Some dander is not the same as others and some people only react to certain types. He could have just been bullshitting too.

Allergy meds can also help a ton. I'm mildly allergic. Congestion, itchy eyes and face. I had one cat, married into 5 more. I'm fine as long as I stay on top of my allergy meds.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sadly I could never live with a cat or dog as their dander makes my airways slowly close up :(

my allergies got better as i lived with cats longer. either way it's more put-up-with-able than not having a cat

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

immunotherapied yourself

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I'm allergic to cats but grew up with one (she lived to 21!) and my fiance has a cat and we moved in together. It's fine I just have to keep the cat away from my face and I wash my hands after petting her.

Even if I don't I just get really itchy, it's not the worst. Worth it for the pets and cuddles.

It's funny to me because it looks more like he fell asleep and the cat put itself there

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

I think if the cat was responsible it's ass would be in the guys face lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

He fell asleep awfully close to the edge

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I remember my friend once saying "I hate cats" whilst cradling mine in his arm like a baby and stroking his head.

Cats are bad for the planet and horrible for the local ecosystem but if they are already around I will pet them.

Humans are bad for the planet and horrible for the local ecosystem, but if they are already around I will have sex with them.

The look on the cat’s face says, “This is how you dominate a person, amateur.”

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I'm pretty much the same. Cats are terrible creatures and I would never intentionally own one. But I'm not going to hold it against my partner's two cats that they are cats, so they get scritches and nap times with me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I have 2 of the vile critters now, one I inherited from my ex, the other one just kind of showed up.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

I like dogs, I just don’t like living with them. I like cats, I just don’t like living with them.

The woman I love, well, she likes living with them.

This is me this morning.

No, this don’t mean I like living with them, but I handle it for her because I love her. Hell, I even love them, but I don’t like living with them.

Like, I really love them. I just don’t like cleaning poo when they screw up or the sneezing because the cat only likes me for some reason. I mean, I’m nice to her because she’s a person too, but I don't really like living with her.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That cat's face says "I fixed him".

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Or "He's mine now."

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

So he's dating a human now?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Let's just face the truth, they are the "true" ruler of this planet.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's due to the toxoplasmosis.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's my wife. When we meet she hated cats, then afer years of cats videos she was like ok i tolerate them, but were not going to have a cat. After meeting some neighbor cats, she was like ok, you can adopt a cat but I'm not going to love him, after a week she was cuddling with him and thanking me for bringing a kitty to our life.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

So you trained your cat to murder you boyfriend as an example to the next?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

cats are very sweet

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

When men are afraid of cuddly things, it is not because we don’t think we’ll connect. It’s because we know we cannot stop ourselves from connecting.

Dad-who-didn’t-want-a-cat sitting there, in love with the cat, isn’t proving himself wrong. He’s proving himself right. This is exactly the situation he wanted to avoid. Being helplessly in love is scary, and animals are so pure that falling in love can’t be avoided.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

100% me. I never in my life thought I’d be a cat person, then I moved in with my girlfriend (now wife) and her cat, who quickly became my ride or die.
