Recently, a frustrated 35-year-old woman shared an incident on Ask Reddit asking people for advice to see if she was right in an argument with her fiance. Just two months ago, she moved in with her fiance and it was going well until “he started complaining about Zoey’s cat.” Zoey is the author’s 13-year-old teen daughter, whose cat “is so sweet and quiet most of the time and so I had no idea what the issue was exactly.”

One day, the woman got a call from Zoey, in tears, who said the cat was not in the room nor anywhere in the house. This was unusual because she’s an indoor cat and the family never lets her out.

The author and her daughter searched for the cat everywhere, but when the neighbor told her he saw her fiance carrying the cat outside, it was the last straw. Read on below to see how the story evolved.

“In spite of cats being natural born hunters, a cat who has lived indoors its whole life, may not be able to find enough food,” Molly DeVoss, a certified feline training, and behavior specialist who runs Cat Behavior Solutions agency told Bored Panda in a request to comment on the incident.

“Additionally, a life outdoors is a sentence for a shorter life; there are so many dangers cats encounter outside. Hit by cars, disease, injury, fights, harm from humans not wanting them in their yard, are just a few of the dangers an outdoor cat faces,” DeVoss explained.

“In my personal opinion, she didn’t choose a potential husband with the same value system as she has – and that’s always a recipe for disaster,” cat behaviorist said and added that “Our pets are our family too, and we owe it to them to align ourselves with others who feel the same.”

Many showed their support for the author and warned her about thinking of staying with a person like him
