I adopted a cute kitty from Cat Rescue a little over a year ago. It was so sad we saw her in her cage at half price. I knew that if she was half price there was a problem. Even more alarm bells should have gone off when we found out she had been with the organization for a very long time. She was unwanted because (I assumed) because she was so old. I have a soft heart for cats and wanted to give her old bones a home. I brought her sweet face home. my son super excited, and my wife reluctant but quickly won over. We were in heaven… are good deed done.
Then she had explosive diarrhea on the floor, wiped her poopy ass all over, and as a coup de grace sprayed in 3 of my floor vents. Turns out she was one very sick kitty and had been for sometime. A few thousand dollars and a year later she’s better but not 100% and the vet says she’ll never be. According to the vet she is going to use my kitchen floor as a place to wipe her ass until she dies. This just isn’t a simple scoot across the floor. When she’s done with my floor you’d swear a drag race event just took place.
She’s a pretty kitty with a sweet demeanor but she has got to go. My house is not a barn.
How do you explain that to a seven year old boy who loves her though? This is going to be a tough life lesson for my son about no win decisions in crappy situations.
Thanks Cat Rescue

What a drag! I love cats. That’s a tough one. Is there anyway the cat could somehow “Get out and run away?” (At least least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. ;^)
I thought the same thing but my wife insists we be honest about it.
Scott, it pains me to hear what you’re going through – and, as a “catman” myself, I’ve endured a fair share of similar circumstances… have you thought about getting a second opinion?
Yeah, we have seen three different vets already
Sorry to hear that. How about keeping the cat only outside? Would that be an option?
Its declawed so that won’t work either. The shelter its going to is nice and a no kill shelter. We are trying some last ditch effort things to try and keep that cat, hopefully it will work out.
Good luck!
