treehugger101 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I live at home with my family and our pets. My Boyfriend also lives at home with his parents, but he has his own private guest house, while his folks have their own property. He had a pet cat, but I always noticed she was an attention seeker, and never let him be, and allowed us to talk. One day his cat took off and never came back, apparently getting killed by some wild animals like coyotes or some animal. Now months have passed since then and he is thinking of adopting a kitten. 1. He does not have a job, so how can he afford to adopt a kitten? 2. I wanted him and I to focus on each other, not on anyone or anything else. Should he get the new pet or should he focus on us?

Clarence_Boddicker Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 1) He should get a job, at least part time. 2) You might want to think about getting a more independent & responsible BF. Link to post Share on other sites
lollipopspot Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Should he get the new pet or should he focus on us? If he isn't going to keep the cat inside all the time, he should not get a cat, since the new cat will go missing too. He should also get two kittens, if he's going to get a kitten, because they do a lot better with companionship. He should also not get a pet if he can't afford vet care, food, spaying, and other necessities. He shouldn't get a pet in his situation. Also, if you end up moving in together, the pets may not get along. So I'm with you - no pet. Edited October 7, 2015 by lollipopspot Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I'm stunned that you think your BF getting a cat will interfere with your relationship. You also seem jealous of the old cat. yes he needs to be more responsible -- getting a job, watching the cat -- but his aren't the only impediments I see. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
buck3200 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I think you should find a BF that likes dogs. But then that's just me I guess..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

casey.lives Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) he should do what makes him happy... i honestly think that we have internal guiding systems that lead us to where we thrive- not simply survive- thrive. let him thrive.. If adopting an orphan kitten closes the lion king circle of life gap ... then he should do what makes him feel good about being him.
