"Silky is afraid of him, and Chris doesn't like Chips getting close to him."
In bold because that is a great big red flag.
Her pets are scared of this man? Both her pets, not just one who might be timid generally or a one-person dog? Pets aren't magical, psychic judges of character, but they don't tend to randomly dislike people for no reason.
And he's stated he dislikes the animals and would make unilateral decisions about their care if they move in together? And she believes he would make her pets "miserable", her word? Not just "wouldn't help out with them" or "wouldn't interact with them" but "would make them miserable"?
[Having written all this, I just reread and realised it's the boyfriend who doesn't like the dog getting near him, not vice versa. I still think it's worrying that the cat's scared of him, though.]
