If your fiance loves one cat & hates the other, now`s the time to ask him "why" and maybe he should seek psychiatric help.

If he can`t get along with both cats, then he has some very deep social issues which should be dealt with a.s.a.p. Before your big day (or it may be "destructive" down the line).

Is he abusive to the hated cat? if not I wouldn`t worry about it. It`s very strange but not a deal breaker. Does he know how very odd it is?

These replies are much more strange than dislike of a cat. For heavens sake, it`s a little bit nutty to say that someone has deep social issues just because they don`t like a particular cat! The guy is not a freak. Just as we may like one person and dislike another, so can it be with animals. Of course pets have individual personalities and apparently he`s not fond of that cat. What`s more important your husband or your cat? If you pick the cat over the man you are going to marry then I would definitely say that someone has deep social issues, but it isn`t him.

I had a similar problem only I was the one that didnt like my fiance`s cat. He had two cats when i met him and one loved me and the other hated me. We think the cat was jealous because my FH used to pay so much attention to this cat and when I came along I took over that attention. The cat would scratch me and hiss at me whenever i came near it. I didnt like the cat at all. But after we moved in together the cat learned that I wasnt going anywhere and he better get used to it. Now we get along much better. He lets me pet him and even comes and sits on my lap sometimes. Once in a while he will still get mad at me and hiss, but he doesnt jump out and attack my feet as i walk by anymore LOL. Just give it a little time. Tell your FH to just leave the cat alone if he doesnt like him. Either they will get to know each other better and get along better or they can just stay away from each other. I mean cats are cats and they cant be reasoned with.

The answer is simple... Kill the cat he doesnt like!
And if your real smart you`ll kill both cats.

Oh my God! I am not a huge fan of cats, but the post from Norte makes me wonder what type of people are out there.
I sympathize with you and unfortuneately have no real advise.

I am a member of many other message boards, but this is by far the most ridiculous place to seek any form of advice. I can`t believe what I`m reading!!! This is nothing, but a 3-ring circus from the 8th grade mentality club.

My fiance just barely tolerates my great dane. Its just a difference in tastes afterall. He can hate your cat if he wants. If thats the only problem in your relationship then its quite small don`t you think?

There are ways though that you can help the situation. You can keep the cat out of his way as much as possible. You can sympathise with him instead of getting all upset everytime he says anything. I think fighting about it just makes it worse but if you just accept his opinion, maybe he will accept yours and you can agree to disagree on wether or not the cat is lovable. Is there something particular that the cat does that annoys him? Maybe you can change that too?

If he just hates the cat, let him hate it, as long as he`s not abusive to it. Try to have a laugh over it!

Well you can HUMOUR him with comic books and such and maybe he`ll mellow out. The following web site gives some really good ideas (I have some of the books and I love cats and they`re dead hilarious!)
