Today, my boyfriend woke up wheezing terribly, aching, and sneezing. He's allergic to cats. I have 2 and they are my babies. He gave me an ultimatum, him or the cats. I haven't figured out how I'm going to tell him that I choose the cats. FML

Bravo for keeping your cats! It's nice to see at least one person who won't dump them just because their bf is allergic.

Your cats are dead in a few years, come on! I am deadly allergic to cats and I can't stay at my friends house because of that. You have no idea how frustrating that is. If your boyfriend said to you that you should get rid of the cats, it must be because he really, really have had enough. You should rethink what you are doing, or you're going to end up like an old single lady with 27 cats. Totally deserved. I feel sorry for your boyfriend. :)

shame, shame, shame... your gonna be that stinky old cat lady at the bookstore... I've seen that before

Demand.. I dont think he ment it in a bad way. You cant just dump your boyfriend because he is allergic to cats, it's not like it is his fault or anything!

young people should not own cats by themselves. they get tied down and lose many freedoms like being able to travel. or even spend a night at their boyfriends place. it is just like having a child that u have to take care of. LOSE THE CATS till u ate older and settled.

Who says she isn't older and settled already?

OP is seriously ****** up, and will be a crazy cat lady...

today my girlfriend dumped me for her cats fml.

You made the right choice OP. Cat's are like family, and you know what they say: bros before hos. LOL Really, Your cats will give you devoted love unconditionally for however long they're in your lives. HE has a place to go, they don't. It's not right at all- these people are insensitive and uncaring when they insult you, because it's like asking a mother to get rid of her two infants for her boyfriend. No! My cat is my soulmate in fur, I haven't been a night without him in eight months (He's always tucked under my arm with his chin on my shoulder) And I don't plan to ever lose him. You're no crazy cat lady, nor are you a 'bitch' a '*****' or 'stupid'. You're intelligent, and obviously, you have priorities.

I've been reading through these comments, and I have a huge problem with the people that keep telling you you did the wrong thing. For starters, he's being a complete dick by forcing this decision on you. The kind of man that you're going to want to stay with, should be the kind that wouldn't do that. Another thing, pets are family, and in life family should come first. I bet a lot of these bastards that are telling you to abandon your family, are the ones who have never had any experience with pets, or understand how much they come to mean. Also, there are thousands of animals that die in shelters each day, because people mindlessly get rid of them like they're some old dress or overused fashion accessory. They NEED you, he doesn't. The sort of people who would put this decision on a person or would get rid of the cats during it, are little short of heartless. I know that that's a pretty harsh thing to say, and I know I'm writing this when all those comments have just severely pissed me off, but it doesn't make my point any less valid. I'm both proud of you and ecstatic that you made the right decision in keeping your cats. Thank you.

Agreed. The last statistic I saw said that 71% of cats that enter a shelter are euthanized. I know the city shelter where I live puts down 37,000 animals a year.

with those numbers they Could just feed the felines to the homeless and unemployed, to the ever dwindling workforce

they're just cats. u letting a person suffer to save ur own cats. screw the dumb cats

stupid asshole, animals are always the best and innocent !!! Search for someone who love cats as you do..

cats r a useless waste of money and space I'd kill an animal to save a person who's suffering

@350 That's heartless. Let's say that OP got rid of the cats, and the boyfriend dumps her. Then OP would be writing a completely different FML, all alone.
