We have a delightful soppy very friendly cat which we got from a rescue centre 7 years. This was DH's idea.he's no bother at all and the 3Dcs adore him.
Recently, DD went through this long phase of being desperate for a dog. I did consider this but decided that it wouldn't be fair as we're all out all day. as a compromise, I said that we could get another cat. DH said No and his explanation was that our cat would kill the new one (?)
Me and the Dcs recently went to an open day at the same rescue centre, they took our details and we had a look at the kitties with lots of cooing and ahhing from Dcs. The centre were quite happy for us to get another cat and gave us some tips about how to introduce them to each other but saw no problem with it.
When i told DH this, he got really angry and said "I've said no and that's that" and has made it clear that the subject is now closed. i just think he's being completely unreasonable, especially as it was his idea to get our cat!
DH can be controlling at times but this is more about him being stubborn and just refusing to back doen. I'm seriously tempted to just go ahead and get one anyway as the Dcs are desperate and i don't see why his view should override the other 4 members of the family.
