[transcript: tweet saying "new boyfriend is allergic to kitten so can't keep him. :( He's ginger & named Tom. Friendly. Comes when called. 28yrs-old & works in IT"]
When I adopted my cat I took life-and-death responsibility for her and her well-being, if which her emotional bond to me is also a huge part.
Any boyfriend or girlfriend who doesn't understand that has values so divergent from mine we're clearly actually incompatible anyway and also clearly doesn't actually love me that much, so to hell with that. My cat was here first. (After she's gone I might resign myself to no further pets, for the right person. But she was here first.)
