Cat and mouse

I have lived with my partner for 7yrs and 5 of those have been as a cat owner.

The cat spends most of the time in the house but uses a cat flat to leave the house occasionally. The cat is perfect in pretty much every way (doesn't scratch, loves hanging out, happy not to hang out, very friendly) but can be a bit greedy and noisy around feeding time. The other night he went out through the cat flap (the cat not my partner) and returned with a mouse that he had caught and killed. He was playing about with it on the parquet floor in the dining room before eating it. This is the first time he has done this in 5yrs.

I said to my partner that the cat can no longer use the catflap and have put a bin in the way to prevent the cat using it. My partner thinks this is unfair on the cat but I'm not prepared to have a mouse in the house.

I have told my partner, that I will be withholding my share of the mortgage (circa £8000 pcm) if he allows the cat to use the cat flap again.

Am I being unreasonable?

On the very slim chance this is real, your DH should dump you and be in a relationship with an adult.
