A boy that my 18 year old has been seeing decided to give her a cat. I'm sure he thought it was a great profession of love.

What it says to me is Here, feed him, water him, neuter him, declaw him, clean his litter box and try to ignore the smell of cat urine...and if you're lucky he'll be dead in 15 years.

I told her she couldn't keep it.  Now she hates my guts and promises never to speak to me again.

If your girlfriend lives at home and you give her a cat, you deserve a beating.

Unless the recipient is involved in selecting the animal,

pets should never be gifts.

I don't blame you for hating the idea, when she's off to collage you're stuck with cat.

What happened to buying a girl some jewlery to make her happy?

What if she asked him to buy the cat for her, what then ?

Crap, what am I gonna do with this cat now  

jk, my gf is allergic...I remember when my gf bought me fish for my aquarium and put them in to suprise me...

"Darling, look what I got you! you've always said you wanted an Oscar!"

*run to my tank*

*carnage*

:'(

How about a dead cat, then you avoid all the other steps<

You should have said she could keep the cat- at his house.  And since it's a great profession of love, the boyfriend wouldn't mind can feeding him, watering him, neuter him, declaw him, clean his litter box and try to ignore the smell of cat urine...   after all, it's a small show of appreciation to your daughter.

lmao Simon! That sucks

Giving a pet is like giving someone a bill. Dogs cost an average of $16,000 over their lifetime!

I'm not that quick on my feet. All I could mutter was 'no. No. NO. NO!!!"

100% agree.

It's not fair to the animal either.  If they end up going to the 'pound', its virtually a death sentence.

That is funny!  Sorry dude that makes me laugh.  I have 2 boys and no girls.  One of my boys is the type to give a cat to someone because he loves pets. ;D

I gave my wife (then fiance) a cat for Valentine's Day in 97.  Her mother didn't like it at first, but she warmed to the little bugger.

That was 12 years ago and he's still going strong.

Sounds to me like a smart boyfriend.  He found your daughters sweet spot and then got her upset and crying at you so he can be there with the shoulder to cry on.  I say beat the boyfriends ars for making your daughter cry and throw the cat into your rod locker/baitwell.

throw the cat into your rod locker/baitwell.

fourbizz tried that.  The results were less than spectacular.
