How do you deal with one person being unfairly unreasonable?
From that person's point of view it's the other that's being unfair & unreasonable, it's all about perspective.
My cat lasted till she was 21, outlived her kittens and was entirely vicious to everyone except me. Considering she lived with my parents for years and years with me only occaisionally visiting I have no idea how they put up with the stroppy furball. She was lovely

Trouble is, if your other half doesn't want one, you need to be the bigger man and let her have her way. Get fish or something instead
