This woman and her husband had been married for two years. Then, one year into their marriage, they got a beautiful Scottish fold cat named Molly.
And according to her, her husband never expressed having any issues with Molly until recently. In fact, just last week, he began relentlessly complaining out of nowhere about how Molly was “annoying him” and that the cat’s meowing was really distracting him from his work.
“But I replied to his complaints by asking why he was just bringing it up now after we have had the cat for a year, and he went off,” she recalled.
Her husband actually started screaming about how he only chose to “put up” with Molly over the last year because he loved her and did not know how to reveal that he honestly hated cats.
So, she was understandably angry and felt totally betrayed that her husband had lied to her about their pet for so long.
However, they both eventually cooled off from the argument, and by the end of the night, her husband even apologized.
Still, he reiterated that he really did not want a pet cat in the house. Regardless, though, they were able to reach a compromise, and she thought everything was going to be just fine.
“I agreed to give Molly to my cousins since I knew they would take great care of her,” she explained.
“And they live a few minutes away, so it would give me a good opportunity to visit her frequently.”

Despite her husband seeming totally on board with the plan, though, he completely shocked her the following morning.
When she woke up, she realized that Molly was nowhere to be found. So, she, of course, freaked out and assumed that Molly had escaped or run away. Well then, her husband actually revealed that he literally sold her cat to a random person on Gumtree without consulting her or even doing a proper background check on the buyer!
She became totally enraged, rightfully so, and actually kicked her husband out. Then, she began contacting animal shelters in her area and asking friends to be on the lookout for Molly. While she frantically tried to find her cat, though, her husband would not stop blowing up her phone and accusing her of being “stupid” for kicking him out. Go figure.
Anyway, she was eventually contacted by a friend who works at a shelter and told that they recently received a multi-colored Scottish fold. So, the following day, she went in, confirmed that the cat was Molly, and got to take her beloved pet home.
“I guess the whole ‘I sold Molly’ story was a lie since I found her. But, she is healthy and happy,” she revealed.
As for her husband, she actually filed for divorce after getting Molly back. And now, she never plans to let her now-ex back into her life again.
If your husband lied about loving a pet for so long, would you feel betrayed? What would you do if they then went behind your back and got rid of it?
