I have been dating my boyfriend for 3 years, and living with him for 2. I have had my cat since before I met him, so when we moved in together the cat came too. The problem is, my boyfriend HATES the cat, and the cat is PETRIFIED of him. He's the only person in the world the cat is scared of, and is a very social animal otherwise. When my boyfriend walks into the room the cat bolts out and runs into a closet. He will run into walls sometimes in the process of trying to escape. It upsets me to see him so scared.
My boyfriend claims he has tried to befriend the cat on several occasions, by going into the closet where the cat sleeps and trying to pet him. I explained that he can't do this because the cat feels cornered. It has gotten to the point where he wont acknowledge the cats existance anymore. I just want them to be in the same room together peacefully and i'm sick of the FIGHTING. I've given up on them ever being friends, but i dont know what to do anymore. how can i keep peace!?
