I live with two cats right now. There’s Panther, aka the A–hole Kitten. I got him at the local shelter last year when he was just a tiny little kitten. Then this summer, my mom’s cat Dexter came to live with me. Dexter is an old kitty, set in his ways, but the transition has been okay. He actually seems to like my house a lot (lots of yard to play in and lots of birds to kill, because he’s a psycho). These cats take up so much time in my life. So in this instance, I find common ground with Whoopi Goldberg. Whoopi lives with a 20-year-old cat and that ancient cat is the reason why she doesn’t bring people home for sex. Her cat is truly c-ckblocking her. And I understand completely how that can happen:
Whoopi Goldberg is happy living the single life! During an interview on The Tamron Hall Show earlier this week, the 64-year-old View co-host revealed why a romantic relationship is not for her.
“People keep saying, you know, ‘Well, you’ll find somebody.’ But… I’m not looking for anyone. I’m very happy. I don’t want to live with anybody,” she said. “I have a cat. I have a 20-year-old cat who is attitudinal. And so he will leave little treats for anybody that’s not me in the bed. I know what he will do if I bring somebody in.”
Aside from her cat, Oliver, Goldberg said she’s relationship averse because “there’s a commitment.”
“When you make a commitment to someone else, it’s a commitment to ask their opinion and listen and work it out with them,” she explained. “I don’t want to do that. I don’t. I don’t want to share money. I know it’s terrible, but I don’t want to do it. I know, for me, it doesn’t work.”
First of all, Whoopi has been married and divorced three times! She’s been there, done that, gotten the t-shirt. She’s 64 years old and if she wants to live with a moody and possessive old cat, that’s her right. The cat is probably better company! But yeah… the cat pooping on anyone who’s in bed with Whoopi is a next-level flex from Kitty Goldberg. To be fair to Kitty Goldberg, that’s not Whoopi’s bed, it’s Kitty’s bed. Kitty must sign off on any visitors. Visitors who didn’t sign in with Kitty get pooped on. Sorry, those are the rules.

My cat is incredibly possessive of me. She hasn’t resorted to that level but she has let my boyfriend know he’s on shaky ground. But I know she would ditch me in a second for my neighbor across the street, whom she watches for and meows at longingly. I’m just a food dispenser to her.
I love everything about this!
I can totally relate! I recently dated a guy, and he knows I have a cat, we were at the ” my place or your place” and I was like “if you don’t mind” he was like ” the cat right?” LOL
Love this story so much.
Also I have been wondering about Dexter kitty getting along with the asshole kitten! Cool to hear Dex is earning his keep by bringing in fresh poultry for you. LOL
Seriously I did not know I was a cat lover until 40. About to be 45 and I’m like, what the heck did i waste so many years without cat love??? Tho I do adore my OG bestie, my old lady gal perpetual puppa Maltese madam.
I stayed over at an ex-boyfriend’s house once and his cat peed the bed. I had two myself at the time (three now), so I said yeah, that’s gross, but what’re you gonna do? She doesn’t know who the hell this rando woman is! It’s her house and I was but a passing trend. Literally, in this case.
My cat once punched my boyfriend when we were sitting in bed. No claws, an actual punch (he also punched my friends dog).
Backstory is that I inherited him from my grandmother when we lost her so he’s been living with me for 2 1/2 years now but is 11 and has a LOT of attitude (his 8 years living with a bloody minded old woman show). My boyfriend is away in the week so every weekend there’s some adjustment and Tigger knows that I’m his human, no question.
She has a healthy self awareness and knows what her reality is and that’s refreshing to hear. Good on her for recognizing that and not bringing undue pain on herself and anyone else.
I was always a dog person until two kittens came into my life. Then I realized that they are aliens. They completely took over my life and I’m actually a cat person because I have no choice.
I don’t know which sounds grosser…sleeping with Whoopi or having her cat crap on you! It’s a toss up, I’d say!
Well, aren’t you an asshole.
Huh. I seem to have read that completely differently from everyone else. Whoopi didn’t say the cat pooped on the bed. She said it left ‘little treats’, which I interpreted to mean dead birds, dead geckos, dead whatever.
I lost my 18 yr old Kitty Boy earlier this fall. For these last few years, I let him do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. If he didn’t like somebody (he had certain people he hated), I was like, “Too bad for you, and steer clear of him. This is his house.”
Awww, so very sorry about your Kitty Boy. I lost my sweet beautiful boy Leo in June 2018. He was 22 & we had him since he was 6 weeks old. He DEFINITELY was the king of our house, lol.
