I live my boyfriend (Eric) and he loves Leo as much as I do. His family on the other hand, doesn't feel the same way...
The first time I brought Leo to their house he was 3 or 4 months old...and their cat scratched his eye. This whole episode cost me atleast $300. My parents have cats also but they are friendly and are really more scared or uninterested in Leo. This cat will scale the walls hunting for Leo.
Needless to say I don't take Leo over there very often because they refuse to put the cat up. Even if we are eating dinner I have had to eat with Leo on my lap because the cat will try to come after him.
Eric's dad said that it is his house, why should he have to put the cat up. This is true which is why I just try to avoid going over there because it is stressful for me and Leo. His mom doesn't like this because now I don't come over there like I used to.
So, she told Eric that she wished I had never gotten Leo. When he told me this it really upset me. I mean how could anyone not love Leo?
As if that wasn't enough...at Christmas I gave his grandma a picture of Leo and she thought it was really cute and passed it around. Eric's great aunt was looking at it and to my face said ... "he is an ugly little thing isn't he". WHAT the heck?! Here is the picture:
This really bothers both of us, because Leo is my baby ... what would you do?
