'It's really not ok for her to get cats for herself without my permission': Divorced dad with cat allergies claws back after ex adopts two felines, fueling family feud

Some purrsonal boundaries were clearly crossed here… just not the ones this cat-allergic dad thinks. After being divorced for 13 years, this 46 year-old father learned that his fifty year-old ex-wife had adopted two cats. The revelation came during a visit from his adult son, when Dad overheard him talking about scooping litter boxes. Cue the allergic alarm bells.

Concerned about fur on clothes and furniture, the dad emailed his ex to tell her she shouldn't have gotten cats without his purrmission. His 21-year-old son wasn't feline fine about that and said he wouldn't be visiting again soon. Now, this dad is left scratching his head, wondering why everyone's hissing at him.

The claws are out, but here's the deal: once the divorce papers are signed and the kids are adults, your ex's pet choices are hers to make. Sure, allergies are a real concern, but trying to micromanage your ex's household from afar is a catastrophic overstep.

Bottom line: these aren't your cats, your house, or your rules anymore. Time to paws and reflect.
