Jealously with pets..

Hello,
I have been with my significant other for 1 year, he has 4 cats and I have 1 dog. They all get along with each other time to time, my dog has never hurt or attacked the cats. The oldest cat has attacked my dog many times and I get blamed for it as if it is my fault the cat scratched my dog, gave him scars and just blood everywhere. My significant other also babies the cat and makes excuses for the cat, my significant other will snuggle, kiss and rub the cat but not me. I am not to move the cat when he is on the bed which is practicaly 24/7. I do understand the cat was around before me and is getting older, as well as my dog, but my significant other should do some adjustments so I feel welcomed and loved. My significant other does not give my dog attention and when my dog wants to get up on bed with us my significant other freaks out and won't let him. It is not fair to me or my dog. I'm starting to get annoyed and mad about this. My significant other does not know I feel this way. Help!

Also, I cannot get in bed with the cat and my significant other because the cat scrathes my feet and hisses at me. I have had stitches in my foot from the cat and I had to drive 3 hours away to get my dog emergency vet hospital due to a scratch that was really deep on his chest so he got stitches as well. Everyday is like a maze trying to find out what way I should go through the house just to let the dog out or for him to eat.

I'm sorry to be the one to say it but, if the cat or any pet were more important than me in a relationship, the relationship would have to go. As much as I love my pets and, even my livestock, PEOPLE I love are more important than any of them. I wouldn't be in a relationship ruled by an animal, be that cat, dog or otherwise.

I'd lay down the law, either that cat learns to be second fiddle in the house or you and your dog are leaving.
