'My cat is the reincarnation of my late dad - but my horrid husband rehomed him'

A heartbroken woman has filed for divorce after her husband rehomed her beloved cat behind her back. The 47-year-old believes her cat, named Benji, is the reincarnation of her late father - and has a strong bond with the animal as a result.

However, her husband refuses to 'play into her fantasy', instead calling her connection with the cat "strange and unhealthy". Taking to Reddit, the woman said: "After my dad passed, I was feeling very down, like I had a hole that I couldn't fill.

"I was finding it hard to keep myself busy around the house during the day so I decided to adopt my cat Benji. I rescued him when he was so small he fit in the palm of my hand and have had him for two years.
