Annoyed with how husband treats my cat

Alexa • Wife of 8 years. Cat and dog mom 🐱🐶

Ladies, I need your help. My husband is starting to really aggravate me in regards to how he treats my cat. He doesn’t abuse him as in kick him, hit him, or anything like that but for example if my kitty goes to the bathroom, then grooms himself (his bum) my husband will make a noise to scare him and get him to stop. I don’t like to see my baby’s face scared like that. Also, if he runs outside if the front door is open, and I say it’s okay to let him go out, my husband will run after him and literally try to ‘prove his dominance’ against my cat.. as in stomp his foot down beside him and make a loud noise to scare him or something like that. Also, when my cat brings back prey for us, my husband will get extremely upset with him saying it’s not normal for cats to do something like that and will try to punish him for it (I don’t allow my husband to punish him as I know it’s normal for cats to do that) and I’ve explained THOUSANDS OF TIMES that behaviour like that is normal. There’s other stuff as well but those are just some of the things. I’m really getting done at this point. Seriously, you mess with my baby then you mess with me. I just don’t know how to make my husband realize what he’s doing is wrong. I’ve tried talking to him calmly when everything is good between the two of us, I’ve gotten angry and into fights over this. It’s really irritating me and clearly he won’t change his ways. Obviously this isn’t anything to separate over, but I’m wondering if any ladies have any suggestions as to what I could do. I’m so over this crap.

**yes, I call my cat my baby lol.
