Everyone dreams of that one pet they can finally call their own—the fluffy little companion they’ve been waiting for, saving for, and imagining for years. For one young woman, that dream seemed to finally come true when her family adopted a cat in need of a home. She had prepared everything, from toys to food to cozy beds, convinced this was the moment her years of planning would pay off. But in a heartbreaking twist, her excitement quickly turned into jealousy and hurt when her mom decided the cat wasn’t hers at all, but her younger sister’s.

Let’s find out what other Redditors think about this story.
At the end of the day, it isn’t the cat’s fault, and that’s what makes the situation even harder. Despite being labeled as her sister’s pet, the cat seems to gravitate toward the OP, seeking comfort, affection, and care from the person who put in the effort to prepare for her. The real question isn’t just about jealousy—it’s about fairness, respect, and who truly takes responsibility. So, is she wrong for feeling jealous, or is her frustration completely justified?
