You made the right choice. No way. My cat comes first...probably before me...hehe...hope he doesn't ask me to move out..

It depends upon the reason my partner is asking. And how important my partner is to me.

Were they allergic? Was the cat doing something?

Her Royal Cuteness and I are a package deal. Have been since day one.
It's one of the reasons I had for ending my last attempt at a relationship. There were
other reasons, but he didn't want me bringing my dog when I'd spend the weekend.
She's been with me every day for almost the last twelve years. I'd never give her up,
for anyone. If someone cares about you, why would they want you to give up something
that makes you happy?

I think I might keep a bag of clothes ready in the cupboard just in case any future partners try to make me decide between them and my cat - so they can be straight out the door without even needing to pack.

Hell no.

NOPE. If you had the pet when you met and he decides he(or she) doesn't like the pet/cat the person is being passive agressive and using the animal as an excuse to get out of the relationship. This is my humble opinion, he lacks honesty, instead of talking about what is really bothering him in the relationship uses the cat to get out. You choose wisely.

Partners will come and go...pets are with you until "death do us part". Right call

Hell no. I'm a package deal, and that includes my pets

It had nothing to do with the cat he was just to much if a coward to tell the truth .

It was nice knowing you. Take care. Buh bye now.

I don't take kindly to ultimatums. Knowing me, I probably would have kept the cat even if I was considering giving it away.

I'm assuming he knew about your cat before (or shortly after) he started dating you. If that's the case he should not have gotten into a relationship with you knowing you had a cat if he was that much against being around one.

You really did need a guy who actred like that.

F**k no. BTDT with the BF who didn't like my cat or dog, didn't give them up but the relationship didn't last anyway. Just NO.

I love cat. I will never leave someone because they have pets that I don't like. I will learn how to deal with it. In a relationship that what a person supposed to do deal with thing if not than kick rock.

Never had a problem with pets.

However, my ex posted this after I left.....

I should add, if you got the cat knowing say, he was hideously allergic to begin with that is one thing...but if he just simply doesn't like cats, or proceeded anyway hoping to convince you to choose...uhm what else do you have to give up...

No.

In his defense, though, cats are evil.

I would not likely do so. What is the problem with a darned Cat anyway?

Judas & Hitler would be passing out ice skates & parkas before I'd give up my dog for a dick.

Sounds like good riddance. If he was allergic, then it's understandable but it's too much to ask. If he's not, then he's just a jerk.

Silverotter has it right. If you had the cat when you met and this person started a relationship with you anyway, while continuing to passive-aggressively suggest "it's me or the cat," then the person needed to go. The cat wasn't the problem.

I have a little dog and I know that if I was given an ultimatum like that, I would be instantly unattracted. I have others in my life that see the value in the love I have for my dog and they love her too. If him being happy requires making me Unhappy about something?

I could not be with someone like that.

Fuck no
