Cultural adaptation and emotional limits are typically major topics in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, but in the episode "Naya Safar," things took an odd turn when Greta was asked to give up her cherished cat before relocating from Oklahoma to England to live with her fiancé, Matthew. The request seemed strange right away because Matthew, who already has a cat, allegedly expressed jealousy of Greta's pet, which raised suspicions.

Greta clarified that she had to sell her pet in order to move to the UK to live with Matthew and his parents. Despite the complexity of pet import regulations, some viewers have questioned whether legal concerns really required her to give up her cat, particularly because Matthew already shares his house with his own cat. To make things more difficult, Greta seemed to be very upset by the choice, which may indicate that there are deeper issues in their relationship.

This subplot has stirred debate among fans: Is this just emotional drama or a sign of controlling behavior? As 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way progresses, many are watching closely to see what this cat controversy reveals about trust, autonomy, and how big sacrifice moments are handled when one partner's needs are prioritized over another's.


What the cat drama reveals about Greta & Matthew’s relationship in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way

On 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, what began as a strange request has revealed deeper relationship issues. Greta's choice to part with her cat, which she obviously adores, poses issues of emotional support, envy, and accommodation. It feels more like a power struggle than a pet policy when Matthew is reluctant to include her pet in their shared existence.


Reasons behind the decision & Greta’s reaction

Sources indicate that Matthew was envious of Greta's attachment to her cat, forcing her to sell it before moving. According to her, making the move required some sacrifices, and Matthew offered the cat in his house as a "replacement" on camera.

Greta, who was clearly upset, revealed that she was devastated to have to give up her pet. She appeared to struggle between the need to demonstrate her devotion to the animal and her love for it. Pet import regulations may make it more difficult to transport animals across international boundaries, but friends and watchers question whether Greta thoroughly considered them before deciding to sell the pet. Her response implies that this was more than simply a practical difficulty for her.


What fans & observers are noticing & what it might mean moving forward

Online 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fans are pointing out that it is unfair that Matthew owns a cat but does not provide Greta with a means of keeping hers. Many argue that it's more about emotional territory and who gets to make decisions while sharing a future than it is about the pet. Concerns about domination and envy were raised by a few viewers.

Additionally, many think that this event may act as a litmus test for the long-term stability of their partnership. Greta may be foreshadowing additional asks for sacrifice if she feels forced to give up something she loves without resistance. However, it might be possible to foster trust rather than animosity if Matthew demonstrates a readiness to make concessions or offer her emotional support.
