What would you do if your spouse absolutely wouldn’t allow a cat but you love animals and miss your cats back at your parents’ house?

I’ve been married for a year and I had to leave my beloved kitty back home, first because our first apartment didn’t allow pets but then later when we moved in with his parents, he and his family never wanted one. I really really missed Cupcake and was more active on r/cats, looking at everyone’s photos. Cute cat videos would just make me sad. Sometimes I even felt a phantom cat on my feet at night. Anyway, we are now separated to be divorced for many other reasons but I am so glad and grateful to be home with my kitty, who still remembers me and cuddles with me every night 🤍
