Many of us love scrolling through Reddit to look at other people's opinions on whether or not someone is in the wrong for the decision they've made.

Typically we usually see a family dynamic of some sort and someone is telling us a problem they've encountered and want a little advice on.

We love sharing these stories because like us, most people love to hear about them and so we want to bring some light to every popular story we see on Reddit.

We love to capture the story itself from the original poster and we like to share some of the top loved comments that were left on the Reddit post.

If you love reading these then this story might be for you. This dad comes to Reddit to ask if he is TA for getting rid of his son's cat without letting him know or even letting him say goodbye.

The dad gave a whole backstory on the reasoning behind it, but the people in the comments didn't seem to care.

If you want to hear more about this story then keep on reading as we dive deep into this post and take a look at what people are saying in the comments.

Here's where he begins telling the story about the cat.

He then explains what the problem is and how he decided to resolve it.

Then he added in an update after receiving some comments he needed to address.

Right off the bat people started calling him TA in this situation.

People really had a lot to say about this situation and ultimately they said the dad was in the wrong.

Simple, but they make a point. The dad didn't even let the boy say goodbye to the cat.

Lots of people were assuming that the dada didn't put in the effort to properly train the kitten to use the bathroom in the litter box.

Taking the cat to the vet would be great just in case the litter box issue is more of a medical issue.

Again, people didn't have a lot of nice things to say about this Reddit story.

There were so many other options before giving the cat away to someone especially without letting the son say goodbye.

Straight to the point. The son has a reason to be upset.

Cat owners know what's up. The cat was probably just trying to communicate and instead it got kicked to the curb.

Yes, OP is TA especially when you take into account that he took away the cat that helped his son most with stress.

The whole thing is honestly just terrible and I'd expect the son to be mad.

This was not the best decision on the dad's part when it came to the cat.

Giving the cat up just seems like he gave up on the cat and his son completely.

Kids really pay attention to things like this and it could be teaching him to give up on animals and other things just as easily as the dad did.

It was definitely not the right solution.

I think the biggest thing was not telling him at all or even having any conversation prior about the potential of getting rid of the cat.

Obviously the son's feelings are valid.

He honestly can't expect his son to trust him again.

The 5 minute distance doesn't make things any better.

Well, what do you think? We have to say that this Reddit post was one of those that caught us a little off guard because it actually had a majority, if not all, of comments pointing to OP being TA In the story.

This story definitely is sad and we feel very sorry for the poor kid who lost his cat. We hope things will work out for him.
