Vegan Girlfriend Tells Her Man It's Me Or The Cat, Internet Sounds Off (cattitudedaily.com)
From the fellow:
I've been dating my GF for 7 months. She’s amazing and we’re super compatible in a lot of ways. She is an outspoken vegan, and she made it clear at the start of our relationship that it was important to her that any potential had similar cruelty-free values. Me, already being a pescatarian, had little difficulty transitioning to a fully plant based diet. My GF was proud of me for going cruelty free and everything seemed well. We became “the vegan couple” on our college campus.
Then there is my cat, Mittens… I’ve had her for three years and I adore her. She’s such a sweet and cuddly cat. However, my GF was always a little apprehensive around her, and she blamed it on not growing up around cats. After a while we sort of made a tacit agreement to mostly hang out at her apartment instead of mine, so Mittens never really came up again in conversation.
...
She said that with this next phase of the relationship, she did not see a future with me unless I was willing to give away Mittens. She said that she believed owning a cat is unconscionable for vegans, because they hunt mice and eat meat, and because the very act of owning a pet is a violation of vegan principles.

Thankfully, he made the purrfect choice and he and the “vegan girlfriend” parted ways. He likely already knew what the right choice was from the start being the dedicated cat dad that he is, but having positive feedback to let Mittens stay and to kick his lady to the curb from 7,000+ people certainly sealed the fate of his relationship.
