Honeymoon with pets? - WICU12/WSEE Erie, PA News, Sports, Weather and Events

Q. I want to bring my cat (whom I've had since childhood) on my honeymoon but my cat and my fiance hate each other. Whenever my fiance comes over, my cat growls at him for five minutes before retreating to the farthest corner of the farthest room. My fiance is dreading the extra "baggage" on our week-long getaway and has expressed adamant disapproval of my plan. What do I do?

A. Your honeymoon getaway is supposed to be just that: a "getaway" from the routine of your daily life and a time to commit to a future with your spouse.

Get a cat-sitter and leave the cat at home if it makes your fiance uncomfortable -- let the two of them duke it out when you return.

Moving forward, you should be able to bring kitty along for the occasional long weekend excursion, but let the honeymoon remain feline-free.
