Me & DH have agreed to get a cat, now that our DC are at an age where they can respect an animal and hopefully won't torture it.
I absolutely adore devon rexes - mainly for their huge affectionate personalities, but I also find their looks exotic yet sweet at the same time. They also have the benefit of not shedding too much.
DH, who knows nothing about cats, has refused to let me get one, saying they look like gremlins and are 'freaks of nature'.
I am really upset about his dismissive and judgmental attitude. So what if the cat looks different? It will still make a wonderful family pet - more so because they love human company. My response to him is how would he have reacted if one of our children didn't have conventional looks - he would be devastated to hear anyone making such unkind remarks.
I know it seems irrational, but I really, really want one of these cats. I am also really upset that DH is vetoing the cat based only on looks.
