Parting ways with a pet can be an incredibly emotional and challenging experience. Whether it's due to a move, the pet's passing, or any other reason, the pain we feel is very real.

First and foremost, pets become like family members. They provide us with unconditional love and companionship.

We form deep emotional bonds with them, and they're always there to listen without judgment or offer a comforting presence. That emotional connection is what makes parting ways so difficult.

Think about all the time and memories you've shared with your pet. Those daily routines, the walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, and all the little quirks that make your pet unique.

These experiences create a strong sense of attachment, and when it's time to say goodbye, it feels like you're losing a part of your life. Another reason it hurts is the sheer innocence and dependability of our pets.

They rely on us for their well-being, and knowing that we're responsible for their happiness and safety can create a deep sense of love and responsibility. When we have to part ways with them, it often triggers feelings of guilt and loss.

Over at the "Am I The A**hole?" (AITA) subreddit, a man who doesn't like cats decided to give away his wife and daughter's dear feline away. He tells the community that he can't bear all the mess that the cat is making at home.

So he decided to do it secretly.

The original poster (OP) wants to know if he's the a-hole for secretly giving away the family cat.

After he secretly gave away the cat, his wife and daughter were very upset. He felt guilty after seeing their reaction.

The moment they find out, his marriage will be over.

Redditors were mad at the OP for what he had done.

Why not just get the cat back?

This Redditor has no words for the OP other than this.

The OP needs to own up to his mistakes by admitting it to his wife a and daughter. And maybe he can bring the cat back.

People believe that the OP deserves the consequences after his wife and daughter find out about what he did.

What the OP did was selfish. He shouldn't have agreed to getting a pet if he didn't like cats.

He shouldn't be surprised if his wife shows up with divorce papers.

The next best move is to get the cat back. If he gets it back secretly, he needs to make sure that his wife won't find out what he did.

The OP has two choices. He can either get the cat back secretly or get the cat back and admit his fault to his family.

If he goes with the former, he has to make sure that his coworker won't talk about it to his family. If they discover his misdeeds, they'll surely lose trust in him.

As for the latter, at the very least, he'll get the chance to come clean. Maybe his family members will even forgive him.
