‘ AITA for kicking out my girlfriend’
So I have a cat named Raven who’s 3 years old. My girlfriend of 2 years moved in with me a few weeks ago and it was clear she didn’t like my cat.
I didn’t think it was really a big deal until one day I got home and he was just gone. He’s not an outdoor cat and he never goes outside.
He was gone for hours and I was worried sick until my buddy came to my house and returned him, saying he found him 2 blocks from my house.
I asked my girlfriend how my cat, who has never tried to go out before ended up that far from my house and she admitted to kicking him out.
I was furious, saying she had no right to kick him out and told her that since she thought she had the power to kick my cat out, I wanted her out of my house by the end of the month. She cried that she had nowhere to go and that she would have to live on the streets.
I said I didn’t care and told her to leave by the end of the month. My friends think I’m being too harsh, but my cat could have died because of her and I don’t want her trying anything else.. AITA?
Let’s dive into the reactions from Reddit:
xHappyAcidx − NTA. The cat was there first.. Edit: hey thanks for the awards!
MajorTomsHelmet − KEEP HER AWAY FROM YOUR CAT! She’s going to hurt him, I guarantee it. Let him stay with someone until she’s gone.. NTA- this chick is p**cho!
The__Riker__Maneuver − End of the month?. I’d have put her out that very day. NTA
DannyBigD − NTA. This was bad but expect things to get worse every day she is still living there. Get her out now before she can inflict(intentional or unintentional) permanent harm to your cat.
ForwardPlenty − she would have to live on the streets. Like she did to the cat, kick him out to live on the streets.. NTA
_duhhitzobvious_ − Eh, NTA, but still I think there’s alot of red flags in this relationship for her to just d**p your cat
Nagiton − NTA. If she thinks it’s acceptable to do that with something as important as a pet, then she thinks she can do that with any aspect of your life she doesn’t like. The cat is important, but almost irrelevant in the scope of red flags she’s throwing out.
Farvas-Cola − #**This is coming from a MASSIVE cat lover – Please comment *without* calling anyone any names. Violating comments will be removed and earn a ban.**
flutterby727 − NTA – indoor cats do not know how to fend for themselves outside. What she did was cruel – I wouldn’t want someone that thinks it’s okay to be cruel to animals near me. Good riddance
[Reddit User] − NTA: The cat is part of your family. She has no right to kick the cat out. That cat could have died or get serious injured and she didn’t care. Find a new girlfriend that likes cats.
Does the Redditor’s decision to kick out their girlfriend go too far, or is it justified given the danger to their cat? Share your thoughts below!
