Vegan girlfriend demands boyfriend give away cat, gets ultimatum
When people are in a romantic relationship, they often find themselves willing to make significant sacrifices. They might change their diets, upgrade their wardrobe or quit bad habits. However, when it comes to pets, the story can be very different.
Recently, a 22-year-old man took to Reddit to share his dilemma. Accordingly, he revealed that his girlfriend of seven months had given him an ultimatum: either he gives up his beloved cat, Mittens, or their relationship ends…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
As a committed vegan, his girlfriend argued that owning a cat violated her principles.
In his post, the man explained: “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 partner shared 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.”
However, the issue of his cat, Mittens, lingered in the background. “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.”
The couple’s relationship deepened during the pandemic, and they began discussing moving in together. This led to a serious conversation where his girlfriend dropped a bombshell: she could not see a future with him unless he was willing to give up Mittens. She argued that owning a cat was against vegan principles because cats hunt and eat meat.
“I was stunned,” he wrote. “I told her that I was absolutely not willing to give up Mittens, and she had no choice but to eat meat, so I was reducing harm as much as possible by buying reputable brands of cat food. Plenty of vegans own cats and think along those same lines. My GF got mad and said, ‘How much flesh does your cat eat? How many animals died to make all that food? Would you be okay with that being human flesh?’” READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
Feeling frustrated, the man ended the conversation and left her apartment. He snuggled with Mittens when he got home, but his mood was dampened when his girlfriend sent him a link to a Reddit thread advocating for the extinction of domestic cats.
“I think it goes without saying that I am not going to get rid of my cat. However, it pains me to think that an otherwise wonderful relationship could be ending because of a difference in ideology. I don’t even really understand where my GF is coming from because, like I said, a lot of vegans own cats.”
In a subsequent update on r/relationship_advice, he clarified that his girlfriend’s extreme views on domestic cats were not representative of the vegan/vegetarian community as a whole. “I do think that, sometimes, new vegans can be a little overzealous. In reality, most of us are just doing the best that we can to not hurt animals!”
In addition, he revealed that they had broken up. “I would never, ever give up my cat Mittens,” he said. Reflecting on the situation, he admitted: “Many users said that this situation was about control, not veganism, and looking back, I do see a pattern of control on my girlfriend’s part.”
Ultimately, he made a decision that parting ways was the best decision given the issues in their relationship. Would you have done the same in this situation?

Genu valgum describes a knee arrangement in which a child (or adult) stands with their knees together but their feet and lower legs apart. Bandylegs (genu varum) is the abnormal condition in which a person stands with their feet and lower legs together but a space between their knees.
Measurements of the shinbone’s articulation point with the thighbone (tibiofemoral point) or the shin-to-shin distance are commonly used to evaluate a shaky knee (intermalleolar distance) (intermalleolar distance).

A frequent aspect of a kid’s existence is pounding knees (and pigeon toes, for that matter) (and pigeon toes, for that matter). Knee alignment in Caucasian kids typically goes from bent at birth to straight at age 2, then to thudding at age 4, and finally to straight again between the ages of 6 and 11.
Why do people with neurotic thump knees have them?
Adjusted muscle force on the bones can cause obsessive thump knees in a few neurological diseases, such as cerebral paralysis or spina bifida.
As a result, beating the knees incessantly may be an indication of something more serious going on below the surface. Adolescents can suffer a major setback if they develop rickets or another bone disease caused by improper mineralization. Neurotic thump knees are often associated with being short or having other bone or joint misalignment. Possible causes include metabolic bone disorder and skeletal dysplasia.
There is a correlation between childhood obesity and a more severe case of thump knees in children who also have flat feet and hypermobile (very pliable) joints.
In your opinion, should they be taken to the hospital for treatment?
Typically, parents bring their child in for their first medical checkup because they are concerned about how their child looks when they are upright or walking. Children that have physiological knock knees will eventually grow out of the condition and don’t need any therapy or follow-up exams.
Knee supports and foot orthotics for adults with excruciating osteoarthritis related to thump knees may be helpful. For youngsters, activities and get-healthy regimens to lower weight and encourage knee development may be beneficial. Nonetheless, there is now inadequate reasonable evidence to support the use of such therapies.
Those with severe or debilitating neurotic thump knees may require a muscle medical procedure to address the knee arrangement if they are in constant pain or are otherwise severely impaired.
