Basically me and my wife and how β€œwe” now own two cats.

[-] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 weeks ago

That's how I ended up with 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 kids and 2 live-in in-laws.

How much work are the in-laws?

[-] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

As long as you change their litter and feed them then it’s not too bad.

[-] whaleross@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

What to do when they keep barking at the neighbours?

[-] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

You could have them castrated, that seems to do wonders.

[-] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

And let me guess - the cats are more attached to you than to her?

Pretty sad how this behaviour is normalized: "nag until you get your way" is dysfunctional behaviour

If it is something that is within reach of your lifestyle and means and you say no just because...it is normal that the person asking will not be dissuaded until you both engage in a constructive way.

Certain dogs have uses, like for shepherding sheeps. Most don't, though

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 0 points 3 weeks ago

Companionship is a major use.

[-] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

I keep mine as emergency rations. That's why I have weiner dogs

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

But then they choose the other person in the home..

Bribery works wonders.

I'm currently on phase 2 of her plan with my wife, but I'm meeting limited success. Does it only work once?

Not even for me, I like cats and some of them even tolerate me. My wife is super allergic though. Like throat closing and everything.
