Cats are one of, if not the, most human-animal bonded species on the planet. Have you ever stopped to consider why we hold the kitty race in such high regard?

What is it about interacting with our cat that makes us feel so good? Is it more than just a strong emotional bond with our feline friends? Yes, it turns out so. 

Cats are incredible pets and are easygoing as well. In essence, they’re your ideal Sunday companion since they’ll lie next to you the entire time you watch your favorite Netflix series.

Snuggling up with your cat and rubbing its plush fur might be the perfect way to unwind and relax after a long, stressful day. Although cats may experience love and affection, they are unable to express these feelings through kisses and hugs the way people can.

They can, however, express their feelings by cuddling up on laps and rubbing their heads on those they adore. The Redditor in today’s story has a cat, and with what the wife did for this cat, we can truly say that the love was totally unmatched.

So the Redditor brought his story to the AITA subreddit community, talking about how his wife badly injured herself while trying to save their cat from a tall tree. Read the entire story for yourself below. 

OP asks:

He would come back down on his own

The whole time I was yelling at her

The anger over her recklessness

I need to talk this through with her

The Reddit thread received 1.8K comments with over 4K upvotes. Redditors were divided in their decisions as some understood the OP while the rest felt he was an @**hole for yelling as it doesn't solve anything.

Here are some of the topmost comments below.

1. She learned nothing from the experience

2. Humor is a coping mechanism

3. There doesn't seem to be a shred of remorse

4. Why would you scream in a hospital?

5. Yelling doesn't fix or improve anything

6. I don't think you needed to yell

7. Yelling is a normal human reaction to recklessness

8. What the OP's wife almost did

9. Did she have to joke about it?

10. She should apologize for not listening to you

12. She's an adult and you can't put her in a bubble

13. It's probably a thing everywhere

14. This Redditor thinks that it's a selfish act

14. You probably should have let it go

15. She almost died while being an idiot

16. This is something you need to work through together

17. You freaked out but yelling isn't okay

18. She was incredibly reckless

19. She's had some extremely traumatic injuries

20. Your wife did something very foolish

You’ve read the story and have also read what the Redditors had to say, so you be the judge. Was the OP’s wife not reckless with the decision she took?

What if that action had caused her death? Could she not see that the OP was clearly worried about her?

Why couldn’t she take other options rather than risking her life? Drop all your replies in the comments below.
