what would you do with your date and the 7 cats?

This might be a deal-breaker for me. I hate to say it, but it may be the truth. I actually like cats, to an extent, and I only have 2. I love them, but they can definitely be annoying, make a mess, and be a lot of work. And one of my biggest irks is houses that smell like ANIMAL. You would have to invest lots of money into Glade air freshners or something. Then again, making relationships work (ESPECIALLY living together) involve compromise. Is there anything he can to do make you happier in the situation? Perhaps give a couple of the cats away to someone who he knows would take good care of them? And perhaps you could meet him halfway - by tolerating it? It's definitely a tricky situation, but one of which you need to talk out with him and find a solution for, I think.

I know it will be difficult to do but you have to tell him right. i suggest just talk calmly and inform him that i have an allergy of cats and i may get sick due to it.. He may consider this as a fair reason and it wont offend him too

I would say one thing and one thing alone if my husband asked me to chose between him and my cats: "The door's over there. Don't let it hit you on the a*s on the way out." Don't you dare ask your boyfriend to give up his cats. He and the cats are a package deal. If you can't handle it, end it now. There isn't a way to bring it up without offending him. My DH knew when we lived together for a few years before we married that my cats and I were a package deal. If he didn't like the cats, he was free to leave. If you told me that and if I was your boyfriend, I'd kick your a*s out.

I do understand you, I have one cat too and I got a friend who dislikes cat and cannot even stand cat for a second and whenever he sees a cat or feel there is a cat in the surrounding he starts getting weird like he will tell me every now and then that there is surely a cat here. Well you must tell him once for all and it will be better maybe he can come with a solution for both of you and the cats.

hey dear..seems like you've got quite a situation there well, for starters...you sound like you're pretty serious about your relationship with your guy. if you really are serious and would like for it to grow into something everlasting, then you should be as honest as possible to him regarding your feelings about his cats. i'm sure that you would want him to be honest with you regarding everything that you two are going through. if you can't bring yourself to tell him about the cats, and you do end up living together and being all miserable, and then the issue of the cats come up...imagine the potential problems then! so best to avoid it all, be honest and tell him about it now. if you really are the girl for him, then he could come up with a solution or compromise to the situation
