As a devoted pet owner, I can’t even begin to imagine how I would feel if my spouse wanted me to get rid of my pet. 

One man is fed up with his wife’s cat and secretly wants to get rid of it but doesn’t know how to go about it.

He and his wife got married in October 2020. Since they first met, his wife has had her adult female cat named Aleu.

He described Aleu as a “scaredy cat,” as she tends to hide for most of the day. His wife has said that Aleu has had issues with her litter box since she was a kitten and is prone to accidents. 

After saving for a year, he and his wife were able to purchase their first house. Since moving in, he’s had a lot of issues with Aleu.

Although she can roam the house freely, they dedicated a room in the house to Aleu and keep her litter box in it. He noticed a foul ammonia smell coming from the room not long after they moved in.

Well, it turns out his wife’s cat was going to the bathroom outside of the litter box instead of inside it.

He and his wife started taking preventative measures like buying a new litter box and placing a waterproof mat underneath it.

However, he aggressively blurted things out to his wife along the way. One day he said, “We just bought this house, and it’s already ruined because of your cat.”

Whenever he gets angry about the cat, his wife gets very upset. But poor Aleu has kept on having accidents, and they don’t know why, but it makes him so mad, mainly because he found out that her cat’s mess had soaked through the carpet in the room and down to the floorboards. So they had to rip up the entire carpet. 

“In having to rip out the carpet, padding, and the floorboard, it became a financial burden for us since we had just bought our new house,” he explained. 

His wife is at a loss for what to do, and whenever he has an outburst related to the cat, his wife asks him if he wants her to get rid of Aleu. 

In all honesty, he wants to be rid of Aleu. But his wife has had her for so long, and he doesn’t know how to approach the topic.

What do you think he should do to keep everyone in the house happy?
