For many pet owners, the idea of giving up a pet is unthinkable. For some, their fur babies are like their children, and for others, they have become part of the family. For this reason, aside from situations where a cat or dog becomes threatening, there are many emotional reactions to news that someone has gotten rid of or rehomed their pet. Therefore, it's not surprising that Shazam! actress Meagan Good was met with some strong feelings from fans after revealing the reason she rehomed her cat.
Good sat down with Jonica Booth on the Picture This podcast, and was asked about something she thought she couldn't live without, before realizing she could.
"My cat," she replied hesitantly. "Cause I had to get rid of my little cat. His name is Bam Bam."
"The pups came with Jonathan [Majors]," she continued, referring to her husband. "So there was two pups, and then we got a third one. And by the third one, Bam Bam was real upset, and Bam Bam started using the bathroom in the bed."
She admitted that she struggled with the decision and really didn't want to lose him. But the third puppy "pushed him off the edge."
"So you chose the puppy over Bam Bam," Booth stated.
"I chose the man," Good responded. Several fans expressed their disappointment at her choice in the comments.

"Giving up your cat for a man is wild...... and messed up," commented one YouTuber.
"Weird how you abandoned your long cat for a dog," another wrote. "That’s not human at all. Which I don’t know what’s worse than having that “man”. Disgusting."
However, Good also had her defenders, who chimed in.
"It’s a cat not a child," one of her fans responded. "And it was HER CAT NOT YOUR CAT. she do whatever she wants with it. And that man is her husband. Social media made yall feel like yall can tell celebrities what they can and can’t do with their personal life. I’m so glad Meagan doesn’t listen to yall crazy self. Yall need a life outside of social media."
One of Good's fan pages previously shared an Instagram Reel of the actress showing off Bam Bam, a Munchkin and Sphynx mix, when he was a three-and-a-half-month-old kitten. He could also be seen playfully running around Good's apartment in several 2023 Instagram videos.
Since adding the third puppy that resulted in the relocation of Bam Bam, Good and Majors have added to their pack. In March 2025, the former Marvel actor confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the couple now owns four Malinois dogs.
