Those of you who have Signifigant others...

Does your SO get along with your pet? Is there a jelousy issue? I was reminded of this when I saw a funny ad from a newspaper. A lady advertised her husband and her cat were free to good home because the guy said either he goes or the cat goes!
Another funny story is when mum and dad first met he had a big ol Doberman to gaurd his home. When she first met mum she had a REALLY big cow but soon they became best friends. Dad lived in a crummy neighborhood at the time and the dog made her feel safe.

Share your stories!

We both adore our kitties. I don't think that we would have dated for very long if we weren't both cat people.

He's even allergic to cats but he still loves them.

My Husband, if asked, puts on a big Macho Man act and says he "puts up with the cats for my sake" but I think Ally has him wrapped round her little paw.........what do YOU think

LOL Alley Cat's Mommy! That's a great picture.

When Andy and I started dating, he knew that my pets were my family. Kia just adores him and he dotes on her. He's allergic to cats, so he doesn't play with them very often, but Zam is worming her way into his heart.

Andy is well.... careful, around Logan because Logan can be very unpredictable.

I think Aley has some say in the matter lol

DH has always had cats, never dogs. He tolerated Jake and was VERY unhappy when I decided to get Max. Now - Max is his best buddy and Jake's really growing on him! He couldn't believe I'd even consider a big dog like Max, and now he's hooked. He loves that dog as much as I do!

[Miss Meow]

What can I say except Shane wants MORE cats

His list includes a grey and white cat (inspired by the Es), an orange cat, a Russian Blue, a black cat and a white cat. He can have all the cats he likes when we sort out room for more litter trays

He's not as enamoured with dogs, but loves the two we have. I don't think we'll be adding to our barking population any time soon.

Paul helped me pick out Miss Hoppy! He's not jealous of her one bit, and agrees with her opinion of broccoli - it doesn't even belong on the plate!

[Moose]

Josh loves the pups just as much as I do -- granted, I think he has a little bit more of a 'thing' for Zoey ... and I have a little bit more of a 'thing' for Moose [which is to be expected, since Moose was my first real dog].

I'm a little bit more 'babyish' with the dogs -- but Josh has his fair share of sappy, lovey-dovey moments. He definitely babies Zoey ... she's the daughter he has yet to have. ...and Moose is the obnoxious little boy he is always annoyed with, but loves to pieces.

Granted, he's not the type of guy to dress his dogs up or treat them like his actual children -- but like I said, he does have his sweet moments with the pups when all four of us are cuddled up on the couch, or when we wake up in the morning with their heads on our stomachs.

My husband loves our cats too, he does admit to being a bit jealous of the attention and love they receive, but only in a joking manner, I don't think he is quite the animal lover as I am, As i would do anything for my cats, well almost,he is a little tight where money is concerned(but then we have to be) and does not like spending too much on the kitties, like toys etc, but I just do it anyway, and he never complains.

He chose Lexie, so he has more of a bond with her, but he still likes old Ash too., yes he is good to my cats.

One of my first questions to Mark when we were going together was if he preferred dogs or cats or neither. He responded that he liked them both, preferred cats, but never really expected to have either. To which I responded But he has changed so much, and loves each of our animals very much.

Even though each new addition has been my initiative (with the exception of Malone), he has accepted each and every one. He scoops out Marigold's litter box half the time, and almost every time he cleans Willow's cage. He loves to nap with Marigold near him, and with the boys, he is a big Mush. (Don't tell him I said that!!!) He helps me to groom Willow in all the difficult spots (belly).

And he worries about them as much as I do when they are sick or not feeling well. He has helped me medicate Marigold every morning and evening for the last week, and didn't even get mad when Marigold peed all over us.

So, in answer to your query, my husband gets along with our pets, and no, there are no jealousy issues.

[BCBlondie]

Sesh is usually scared of most people he doesn't know, but he warmed up pretty quickly to my ex. lol They got along well ^_^

[CathyBogart]

My ex didn't like dogs, and that became a big thing to me towards the end, as I realized that I really can't spend therest of my life with someone who can't stand being around my dogs. My current "interest" (not my SO, at least not yet *fingers crossed*) loves the dogs, and the snake, and the cat...and even the bugs.

My hubby and I are pretty well matched when it comes to how we feel about pets. When we first got married we could hardly wait to get out of our apartment and into a house because we wanted dogs! He worries about them when they are sick just as much as I do and I often hear him having little conversations with them when I am in another room. We both had no cat experience whatsoever, so when Trevor arrived we both learned about cats together. He is very fond of the kitties but I think his preference will always be dogs.

My hubby is definately a cat lover too. When he was a little boy, he raised a moma cat and her newborns. He's got his favorites of the house....can someone say Pumpkin?!....And Cookie he rescued from the outdoor life without me even asking. I've never ever be able to be with someone who didn't adore cats.
