Pregnant Lady Reaches Breaking Point As She Shares How BF's Cats Are Driving Her Crazy

A pregnant woman on Reddit hit a literal breaking point over her boyfriend’s cats, and it went way beyond “ugh, why is there cat stuff everywhere?” This wasn’t a cute quirk, it was a daily mess that kept escalating until she was crating the animals the moment they messed up. But for the past six months, the cats have not been using the litter box, and OP says she’s been slowly losing her mind trying to deal with it while her due date gets closer.

Now she’s planning to rehome or surrender two of the cats, and the argument over who’s “the AH” is getting real fast.

The OP writes...

OP's boyfriend complained about her leaving things on the floor

Reddit

The OP has gotten to the point where she crates them every time they do it immediately

Reddit

The OP loves animals so much but over the past six months, she feels like she's going insane

Reddit

The OP's plan is to rehome or take the cats to a good shelter near by

The moment OP started crating the cats right after they failed to use the litter box, the whole household vibe went from annoying to tense.

Then her boyfriend’s earlier complaint about her leaving things on the floor made her feel like the rules only apply to her.

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

I think that I may be an AH for planning to rehome or surrender two of my boyfriend’s cats because of them not using the litter boxes.

This is similar to the coparent asked to rehome his kittens after his son’s severe allergy, AITA?

With her pregnancy and the constant cat waste piling up, OP’s stress stops being background noise and starts driving the plot.

Once OP mentioned rehoming or surrendering two cats to a shelter nearby, commenters immediately split between “do it now” and “set a boundary first.”

OP's situation with the cats has reached a boiling point, and she's resolute about finding a solution. With a new baby arriving soon, her priority is protecting her child's health and well-being.

Rehoming the cats seems like the most viable option, despite her boyfriend's potential resistance. OP's mental health and the safety of her newborn are paramount, and she'll do what it takes to ensure they're protected.

The stress and chaos caused by the cats will hopefully come to an end soon, as the OP was declared not the AH. Let's know your thoughts on this story in the comment section.

OP might be happier with the cats gone, and her boyfriend might be happier if he’s the one dealing with the mess.
