Not all spouses may be so agreeable or reasonable. About a couple of weeks ago, I read about a girl who loved snakes and the blogger wanted to know if anyone would marry her and sleep in the same bed with her snakes. Of course most comments were negative. But that is before the fact, I mean, before you invest your emotions in a long term relationship. What if you're already married, and then your spouse develops a very strong love for animals to the extent of bringing hundred of them into your house?
"A man from southern Israel divorced his wife this week because she had brought 550 cats into their home. The husband, apparently not a cat lover, told the Rabbinical Court in Beersheba that he was unable to sleep in his bedroom because the surface of the marital bed was constantly covered with cats who refused to lie on the floor.
The man, in his divorce request, complained that the cats also blocked his access to the bathroom and did not allow him to prepare meals in the kitchen, the Hebrew daily Maariv reported Wednesday. When he sat to eat, cats jumped onto the table and stole his food.
The couple attempted reconciliation at the behest of the rabbinical court. The wife, however, was unable to part from her cats… and preferred to part from her husband." [Source]
Do you think the man shouldn't have sued for divorce? What about the woman that chose her pets over her husband? Maybe she just prefers her cats? Or she doesn't care for the husband anymore? What would you do?

Haba Myne, we are talking of mental issues here. 550/55/50 cats is utterly abnormal please. they should get her into counseling.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a pet(dog most likely) before I met you, hmm, you and my pet must be compatible o. You don't have to love my pet but at least you should tolerate each other.
Haha...I couldn't even imagine that number of cats in one place.
DeleteThe woman should be taken to yaba left o, shoo, what sort of thing is that living with so many cats and choosing the cats over her spouse, the man tried abeg!
ReplyDeleteThe man really tried, seemed he endured for so many years before speaking out.
Deletethanks for the updates. breaking entertainment news
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteIssues,my people that us what they call issues!
ReplyDeleteBig time issues indeed.
DeleteOh Myne, this is easy. I'll build a pet house! So it's like this: "Honey, I love you but can we have structure? No? Okay, let's go see a doctor for this 'disorder' bordering on Zoophilia." Big test for both parties though.
ReplyDeleteThis woman obviously wants her pets sleeping on her bed. Her case has passed pet house :)
DeleteThis is beyond mental issue, the people involved need deliverance...never in a million years will an animal take the place of a human being in my life!
ReplyDeleteAnd to think the man was ready to tolerate some of the cats while she wanted to keep all instead of compromising.
Deletecomplete and utter madness.After going through the cesspool that is dating, finding someone and actually getting married, you throw it ALL away for CATS?. CATS?! CATS?!!. she needs help. #thatisall
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that the relationship broke down along the way. She was just punishing the man for nothing.
Delete550 cats?! End of story
ReplyDeleteAs some of my country people will say, o pari!
DeleteAbeg, the woman's actions said it all. She considers the cats more important than her husband and she chose what was more important to her. I hope her cats make a great companion
ReplyDeleteMe too, it makes no sense to me at all.
Deletevery funny hw can a married woman choose her pets over her husband. Well i tink she's havin a problem upstairs hahhahahhahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahaha lwkmd
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that is a LOT of cats! How would one even taken care of that many animals?! Gosh. Perhaps she was unhappy in the relationship and needed to take extreme measures to get out of it? We'll never know! But hey, personally I prefer dogs anyway. ;)
ReplyDelete550 cats...biko how big is their house, abi small house no fit contain that amount na.
ReplyDeletesomething is wrong with the woman, they seriously need to check her in.
I am not a fan of animals, little me was, but grown up tar.
what?! that is just too much! she obviously would rather have her cats than her man. should people even be allowed to keep that number of pets in a house?
ReplyDeleteChoices in life speak volumes.
ReplyDeleteWhy this is even up for debate, I don't know. I can understand picking your children over your spouse....and maybe even career....but to what end is the need to choose pets?....Serious mental issue o!
ReplyDeleteThere's always an extreme that spoils things. We have two cats who know their place in the house (one is sitting on Mr A's lap right now) and who allow us to ear. There's no question of me loving them more than Mr A. I love my cats but it's a different kind of love.
ReplyDeleteWe all have our own interests and thoughts. Sometimes it is vitaly important to make choice. And it depends on you what to do.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame the man for divorcing his wife. 550 cats! SMH
