Boyfriend Threatens To Leave If His Girlfriend Doesn't Train Her Cat To Use Little Box Instead Of Toilet

Meet Ben, a special senior cat, and his owner—Redditor u/tvchmny. Her story is no ordinary tale of feline companionship. On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, the OP shared that her cat has a quirky dislike for the litter box, so she trained him how to use the toilet as a solution. Impressively, he even knows how to flush it, although sometimes he forgets it.

But hold on, there's a twist! The OP's boyfriend isn't on board with Ben's bathroom habits, leading to a clash of opinions and a potential turning point in their story. He asked her to train the cat to use a little box instead of the toilet.

Now, the woman doesn't know what to do. Should she train her cat's habits to make her boyfriend happy? Scroll down to check out the entire story and the advice of the online community.
