A young couple in Bhopal, India, has initiated divorce proceedings after repeated failed attempts to get their pets, a dog and a cat, to get along in the family home.

According to sources from a Bhopal Family Court, the unnamed couple initially bonded over their love for animals, became friends, and later married, so it is more than a little ironic that the love for their respective pets may be what breaks them apart. After tying the knot in December 2024, the couple moved in together, and that’s when things started going south. The wife said her husband’s dog harassed and even attacked her cat repeatedly, while he claimed he had made it clear before marriage that the woman would not bring her pets when they moved in together, adding that her cat would hover over their fish tank, creating tension in the house.
