Spouses That Don't Like Cats

My first husband didn't like animals when I met him, the truth is he was frightened of them, so I worked on him. By the time we were married he was a big animal lover, especially cats.

My second husband loved all animals, he was a big softie, thats why I married him.

My first husband didn't like cats. I should have known the marriage wouldn't work. When I first met Steve, he told me he hated cats. I told him that if he wanted a relationship with me, he had to learn to love my cat. Hippocrates wormed into his heart so much that when he crossed, Steve cried for days.

Now he claims to only like "select" cats (darn male pride). But those "select" cats are Stumpy, Scarlett, Koko, Muddy, Sage, Dakota and Pinky. He complains about the rest once in a while but tolerates them all very well. But I'll give him credit for loving 7 of the cats in the household. Even though he is a dog lover, when I asked him a while back if he could only pick 2 of our critters in the house, he named 2 cats, not the dogs. He's come a long way baby!

My hubby loves ours as much as I do! I've known since I met him that he was a cat person (versus dogs), and we've shared the same interest in animals (we both love birds, too). He's a wonderful daddy to Holly and Mika.

Although if I had my way, they'd go to the most expensive **priviledged** hospital and have everything under the sun done that they could have (like a kitty day spa in a way) any time they needed a tiny bit of medical attention... hubby insists on being a bit more frugal regarding health care

I guess I'm the cat lover of the house. But dh loves animals, too. This week I saw him kiss my horse on the ear, stop in the middle of the yard to pet Josie, the outside cat. He loves Will, our other outside cat. And he pays some attention to Gar and Fest. But he never even pets the kittens. He grew up on a farm, and they had lots of outside cats that were never fed. So I think he has seen too many kittens come and go. But he loves the cats we are keeping!

My bf loves cats just as much as i do.

Lol, it was actually at my boyfriend's house that I fell in love with cats. His cat 'Fraidy loved on me and was just so nice and sweet that after careful consideration of my bank account and my living situation, I adopted Leo!

'Fraidy still lives with Ian's mom. Ian's apartment exists now for the sole purpose of me having a quiet room for my kits when I'm homeless for a month and when I'm moving! He loves the little buggers (even though he hasn't met Lola yet, as he is still off on Budapest)! He and Leo are extremely bonded

I could never date a woman who didn't like cats, so I wouldn't make the mistake of marrying one who didn't like them. It's as simple as that. That would be like marrying someone who didn't like children and then having kids.

Michael says he never wanted me to get a cat as he says they stop you doing things. Like what I say? We can still go away, I just get a cat sitter in.

I think maybe he's jealous of all the attention she gets

He does make a big fuss of her. When he's waiting for me while I'm getting ready for bed Villy will jump up on to the bed and he will spend ages fussing her. She also joins us for weekend lie-ins and he gives her loads of attention then too.

He pretends not to be bothered about her, but when I see him when he thinks he's alone with her, or sometimes he'll just make a big fuss of her, it's so a different story!

My ex-husband hates cats. I was never allowed to have one. No wonder he's an ex.

Joe loves them as much as I do, even if he won't admit it.

My then BF and now DH Ian was never a cat person--he never had pets at all growing up, his sister is allergic to just about everything, and he always saw himself as more of a dog person. Fast-forward to my junior year of college when I adopted Oliver--who quickly wrapped Ian around his little paw. It was actually Ian's idea to get a second cat, so there'd be one cat for each of us But, he's drawn the line at two kitties. Oh well, two works for me!

My ex-husband wasn't really a cat person. We did have my childhood cat live with us until she crossed over. After that, we got a dog. He complained so much about the dog that at 8 months old I finially gave in and found him a REALLY good home with someone else. Too bad I didn't find the ex-husband a good home instead....LOL

12 years later....

My fiancee and I have four kids and four cats. Two kids are mine, two cats are mine. He gets two kids and two cats too. Fair enough He turned 40 this year. When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday I was shocked when he said a hybrid cat. So, that's how we got Jesse James. I would love a couple more kids and cats, but we have our hands full enough. We just bought a fixer-upper of a house and we just applied to become puppy raisers for guide dogs.

Aw poor guy! My man is just so enamoured with cats, sometimes it's easy to forget he's a guy He thinks Tosca is just the best thing since sliced bread - and he's so happy to endure getting hairballs just to give her kisses. She's very much a daddy's princess and she woke us both up about 30 mins ago because she wanted cuddles and she wanted to get into bed between us. Rune didn't even ba an eyelid at rolling over to give her space - AND he was quite happy to have he inside of his ears licked clean (ew). I couldn't imagine living with a spouse who didn't like cats. If you don't like cats, you don't come in

My hubby sometimes complains that he doesn't like the cats, or that they're too much trouble. But, I ask you, does this look like the lap of a man who dislikes cats?
