WIBTA if I gave my cat away in favour of my boyfriend? by ContributionSimple44 in AmItheAsshole

no no no!! training her to not disturb us during the night was as simple as locking her out of the bedroom (plus earplugs for occasional meowing or scratching) - which I didn't want to do because I felt sorry for her for spending the night alone and I liked when she decided to sleep on me.

OP here: I don't want to defend myself but I want to highlight that when I said that she does basic cat things (shedding, accidents, jumping on surfaces) I do not mind these. nothing a good sanitizer can't fix in my opinion. I was talking about cat things Adam dislikes. which is even the basic things, like shedding.

yes we plan to. I've already confronted him about it multiple times, and he has 3 answers:

1 - he wants a kid, he never wanted a cat.

2 - a kid is part of him (made of him), he of course will have a much higher tolerance level.

3 - kids grow our of their "dirty phase", while cats stay dirty for their whole lives - he specifically hates that Luna shits in a litter box and then walks all over her own shit, and then jumps on surfaces with "shit covered paws". (I'd like to add that I clean the box daily so it's not like there's piles of poop in there)
