Jessie, while chatting with Paul Mescal on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast back in November, confessed that she prefers dogs over cats. But it wasn't just a preference – she shared a rather bold story about an ultimatum involving her husband's two cats. According to Buckley, the feline feud began when she first started dating her husband, and one of his cats decided to leave an unwelcome surprise on her pillow. "I was like, it’s me or the cats," she recounted. "I won!"

Cat enthusiasts who adored "Hamnet" took to the internet to unleash their displeasure. One post on X, viewed over a million times, lamented, "I like Jessie Buckley a lot as an actress, but her gleefully retelling the story of giving her husband the ultimatum of rehome his cats... not to be dramatic, but that genuinely makes me think less of her. like a LOT."

The internet was ablaze with opinions, and not just from cat owners. "I’m not even a cat person but this is DIABOLICAL and horrible," a Reddit user exclaimed. Another chimed in, "Being proud that you bullied your husband into getting rid of his pets is a very weird flex." It seems Jessie’s candid confession has sparked a larger conversation about pet politics in relationships.
