If my husband and I got divorced, there would no question. Eleanor the cat is MY girl. She's been with me for fifteen years now. And she is AT WAR with my husband. Hates him. How dare this male human come into her Mama-Kitty's life? Fuck him, says the furry Queen.

Everytime he gets up, Eleanor takes his seat. She takes his spot in the bed. She elongates herself and stuffs herself between us in the bed. She curls up on my belly and hisses at him.

I wish there were a question of custody. That would mean there was an ounce of love.

@NewsBunny: Ha! Yeah, pretty much that's exactly it. Diesel-cat places himself exactly between BF and self and STARES.... evilly.... until BF backs down.

And then he pounces. And kicks him off the bed.

(this is why there are issues in our relationship, actually.)

My female cat thinks she owns my husband. She sits on his chest and gives me stink eye. And she was my cat first!

@Fatwetdog: My husband was adamantly against getting the cat. After a round of eardrops administered by me, the cat took a liking to him and now the cat loves him and merely tolerates me. I want to say "you wouldn't even BE here because of me," but given that my husband has now fed him and changed his liter for more than a year (since I got pregnant) I can't say anything.

what the what?

They ADDED the pit bull in '95 AFTER the divorce. They inflicted this horrible relationship on that poor poor dog. Someone should call the humane society on them!

@doodlebug: That was a careless thing to do but there's no indication their divorced-but-living-together arrangement is traumatic to the dogs.

When my husband and I first married, his cat would bite me, scratch me, do what ever he thought it would take to get me out of that bed. I had scars on my shoulders and hands for months. Finally he settled down, but he still liked it best when it was just him & Mr. Badmutha in the bed.

I like this couple (or, ex-couple) for rescuing pit bulls though.

This is along the same lines as Leona Helmsley leaving her dog like 700 bajillion dollars when she died. Read: Wacky.

I've had my dog for 6+ years, been with fiancé for 5.5 years. He tolerated my dog for the first few years, but in recent years he has totally fallen for her. Now he jokes that we'd have a "custody battle" over the dog if he and I ever broke up. My response: Bish pls, the dog is mine.

@fannynanny: Did you get the dog together or does it belong to one of you more than the other?
Is there a chance you could just... take the dog and storm out due to the cheating? Then maybe he wouldn't put up as much of a fight.

I've noticed that many of you are trying online dating. These two obviously addled individuals voluntarily took themselves out of your dating pool. Just be grateful.

See...it depends on the dynamics of their relationship. I could break up with my boyfriend and continue to live in the same house...because we're best friends before we are lovers, and we both understand that. Also, I treat my dog like a child, even better. Because children are awful, and my dog is soft and fluffy.

@HoooooooT: Yeah...I mean, it's bizarre, but I kind of understand too.

My boyfriend and I adopted 2 pets together, and we'll joke sometimes that we can't split up because of them. If it came to that we would each pick one and go our seperate ways, but it would be really hard for us to choose and to split them up.

But then again, I sometimes think I prefer pets to a lot of people...

It's bad enough sleeping in a bed with two dogs. SIX? How!?
