An Israeli man says he wants to divorce his wife because she refuses to part with her 550 cats.

The man, whose name was not reported, petitioned the Rabbinical Court in Beersheba for divorce from his cat-loving wife this week, The Times of Israel, Jerusalem, reported Sunday.

He told the court he was unable to sleep in the couple's bedroom because his wife's hundreds of cats were constantly sleeping on the bed.

The man said the cats also blocked his access to the bathroom and did not allow him to cook in the kitchen, the Hebrew daily Maariv reported Wednesday. When he sat down at the table to eat, the cats would jump up and steal his food, he said in his divorce request.

The couple tried to reconcile as ordered by the rabbinical court; however, the wife was not able to part from her cats and instead decided to part with her husband. (UPI)

'고양이엄마'女,자식 550마리 때문에 결국

한 이스라엘 남성이 550마리의 고양이를 키우는 아내와 더 이상 함께 살 수 없다고 선언했다.

이 남성은 비어셰바의 라비니컬 법원에 아내와의 이혼을 요구하는 진정서를 제출하며 침실이 수 백여 마리의 고양이들로 가득 차 잠을 이룰 수 없었으며 화장실로 가는 길을 막는가 하면 부엌에서 요리조차 할 수 없었다고 말했다.

또한 식사를 위해 탁자에 앉으면 고양이들이 뛰어올라 음식을 가로챘다고 호소했다.

이 부부는 이혼 조정을 위해 노력했으나 부인이 고양이들과 떨어질 수 없어 남편과 헤어지기로 결심했다고 말했다.
