To think my cat is the perfect husband

Hear meowt,
My ginger Tom might be the perfect husband. He is super handsome, always grooming himself to look the best, great with hygiene.

He also gives me lots and lots of affection. Always seeking me out to give me loving nudges, massages, sleeping next to me, purring relaxing sounds, and when he looks at me, it is with loving eyes.

He is a great co-parent too. I take the kids upstairs at 9pm, and we do bedtime together. If the kids play up and don't settle, one big meow and the kids go to bed. I usually lie next to the younger one and Tom lies next to the older one. Purring until he falls asleep. Then we get up and go watch tv downstairs. Sometimes we lie on the floor and do a yoga or a light work out. He especially likes stretching.

Tom is also a real mans man. If i let him, he goes out to hunt and brings me food. He likes to surprise me every now and then with different foods he thinks i should try and sometimes he leaves the food in new unexpected places to keep things interesting. He does get a bit grumpy if i don't let him out, but he doesn't hold grudges and cuddles me to sleep regardless.

He is also very intuitive. He knows i hate the wallpaper upstairs and he has been working on removing it for a few years now. And the best thing is, i didn't even have to ask!

So, is Tom the best husband ever?

My ginger tom would be an abusive dickhead of a husband.

The only man around my house is a cat too - and I couldn’t be happier!

Although I can’t really pass judgement without seeing a picture of him…

Tom sounds perfect to me OP. Definitely not a LTB here.

Wondering … does Tom have a brother? Asking for a friend…

Does Tom do the laundry, cooking or make any money for the family?
