robster1 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I'm a really good looking, professional, down to earth male... but somehow i never find the right girl!!! Anyhow, here's what I'm faced with. My soon to be x and i have been dating about 2 years. In that two years she has lived with me and so has her cat. I was never a cat person, but this big white fluffy Himalayan cat and i immediately fell in love. She is an older cat, but when around me she has taken on youth once more. She follows me everywhere, cuddles up to me wherever i sit or lie, meows when i come home, and scarcely eats when i'm away. She purrs at just the sight of me. Just when i think we couldn't be any closer, somehow it happens that we keep growing even closer. I can't even describe to you how much we communicate and interact. I know what her every little move means. We even have a daily routine. Any how, when the gf and i fight and i tell her she needs to move out, she plays upon my feelings for the cat. She knows that just the thought of the cat leaving the house tears me apart. I told her it's not fair that she would make the cat have to move from her home at her old age. She has her favorite little spots, her routines, and me giving her round the clock affection. I even offered her big $$$$ for the cat... BIG. I just don't know what to do. I haven't followed up on making her move bc every time i look at my cats innocent little face, I see the face of an Angel. People say to me..suck it up..it's only a cat. Imagine if it was a child. Well, i don't have kids yet. I have a cat. A cat that i never thought i'd care for that i now love like a child. She has sat next to me more times than i can count when i have been upset. She has been a little Angel to me in my life. I sometimes stare at her wondering if she is really a cat! She is my comfort, my friend, my little girl, sometimes even my hope. I don't know what i will do without her kind, caring, silent love. She takes on many roles and many faces. But the most simple role to me is just Being next to me with her little smile. I'm F*&^%$!
Thunderchild Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I was really fond of my current exes dogs. In a 5 year relationship, they appeared (as pups) just a bit after the end of year 1. They're now 4 (and not even house trained) and I miss them, especially the little black and white bitch. I miss them an awful lot more than I miss the ex, and it cuts me up to know I'll never see them again. They've known me all their lives and I was thetre for their best and worst moments. Yes, it still hurts, but I also thank God that we didn't have children together. That would've made things a helluva lot worse!
misswillow Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Aw, I don't really have any good advice, but I think it's so sweet that you love your cat so much. It's the way I feel about my dog. My ex unfortunately never really developed any feelings toward my dog and it always kind of made me sad because she is so important to me. Is your gf close to the cat too? Do you think she would take good care of the cat if they did move out? It's terrible that she's using her as a way to keep you in the relationship. Has she downright refused your offer of money for the cat?
Mack05 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) I'm a really good looking, down to earth male... Really good looking AND down to earth. WOW! At least if you and your girlfriend do breakup, all the girls will be forming an orderly queue to spend time with you and hopefully the cat. Edited March 21, 2013 by Mack05
TaraMaiden Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 'Kit-nap' the cat. Put it in a safe house. Remove every single trace of it ever having been in the flat. tell your ex-GF to leave. Tell her she will never see the cat again, because the cat is now in a safe-house and will be happier with you than with her. If she tries to report it and denounce you, tell the Police she is delusional; you did HAVE a cat, but it died, she cannot psychologically accept this. She needs counselling and help..... Man I am such a devious mean-minded woman. I musta bin a cat in a previous life........ 1
