not allergic. just not a cat person. the cat stares. i try. she can tell i'm performing affection and i think the cat can tell too.

anyone successfully coexisted with a partner's pet they didn't choose. looking for "make peace" not "become a cat influencer."

    loving her ≠ loving the animal on day one. effort + honesty > fake baby talk.

    ask what the cat actually likes (treats, a specific chair) instead of forcing cuddles. negotiated neutrality is a win.

    talk to her before resentment builds. pet people can smell bottled-up vibes.
