My wife and I have a theory that anyone who doesn’t like animals has a character flaw. True or not, I’ve never made friends with someone who hates animals. We have 10 cats and every one of them is a family member. When they are sick, we worry. When they die, we grieve.

If your pet is important to you, your significant other needs to respect that. If they can’t - maybe it’s time to reevaluate the relationship. There are plenty of cat-fish in the sea.

Just my opinion. I could be wrong.
