Hey reddit! I need some advice on what to do with my current kitty situation. In late July my fiancé and I adopted a sweet, now 3 month old, black kitty. I had been wanting a kitty for a long time, and finally my fiancé agreed to get one. I was under the impression that he was completely on board and knew about the stipulations of owning a cat (they scratch stuff, they get into stuff, etc.) but I was clearly wrong.
At first things were fine, but we quickly realized how playful she is. Which is fine, we didn’t mind. When she is super playful and is running around the house, she likes to run under and climb under our reclining couch. She hasn’t torn it up, but my fiancé hates that she does that because it was expensive and he’s afraid she will tear it up. Then we learned that she likes to play bite. I’m fine with it, but my fiancé is not. He hates it and it stresses him out. Our kitty also likes to play with the power cords to his laptop. Again, he hates this and has no patience for it. Finally, she likes to follow us around and trip us. I know that’s normal so I just watch out for her but my fiancé again hates it and has no patience for it.
I have tried explaining to him that we can only control so much because she’s a cat and this is what they do. We have tried using blankets, aluminum foil, boundary spray, and spraying with water, when she does something naughty but nothing is really working for her. The stress she causes my fiancé has impacted our relationship by causing fights and tension between us due to me trying to stick up for our kitty.
Would it be terrible if we rehomed her with my mom? My mom has another cat and a dog who would most likely get along just fine with her since she’s still a kitten. I love our little kitty with all my heart but I could never let her get between my fiancé and I. What are your thoughts? My fiancé is very set on rehoming her. Do you think it’s our best option?
