Am I over reacting?

It stole his FISH???

That is THE lamest excuse I EVER heard of!!

I am a reformed cat hater!! I adore my 8 cats and would do ANYTING for them!!! I am a changed woman because of them. It CAN be done! I think your friend needs the boot, and TOTALLY agree with Catmom.

Well, ok, this idea is extreme, but extreme situations call for extreme measures: The next time this oaf is over, every time he touches something or sits on a chair - just copy him by saying, "EEWWWW! You drank from my glass, now I have to throw it out and get a new one."

The cat stealing his fish is a lame excuse. Several years ago a dog killed one of my cats. Now, I'm not especially fond of dogs now but when I am over someone's house and they have a dog I pet the dog and am very nice to it. It wasn't that dog who killed my precious Kitty. I am now starting to like dogs again because I realized how foolish is was to hate ALL dogs because of the actions of one. I've owned dogs in the past and loved them dearly. I would never, ever, be rude like that in someone else's home. It's amazing the nerve some people have!

Ok, its not a boyfriend but a friend of your boyfriend. Thats easy -- tell him he is not welcome if he does not be considerate of every living creature within the home. Humans as well as animals.

He is disrepecting you and it sounds like he's getting joy out of it. Don't let him bully you into feeling awkward. He knows you don't like his comments yet makes them anyway. He's playing a game to see how far he can go. I work with a guy EXACTLY likme this and he's a huge immature jerk. The only way to get through to these guys is to say something short, to the point, and with no emotion.
