When roommates must decide shared pet custody as life changes

My roommate and I got a cat together during pandemic lockdown and now that we're both dating other people, we're realizing we never discussed what happens to shared pets when life circumstances change — and every conversation about the cat's future becomes a negotiation about our own attachment styles, our different needs for security, and what we each think commitment actually means.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that a shared pet has become the container for exploring what they each believe about attachment, responsibility, and the nature of lasting commitment.
