I can't take my cats with me...
| Thu, 10-14-2004 - 2:56pm |
I'm planning on moving to CT in December, and last night I asked my bf (who I'll be living with) how he felt about having them around. He said he didn't want to live with cats. I'd only have 2, but he's against it. He doesn't hate cats, he just doesn't want to live with them. But I love my babies, and I don't want them to think I've abandoned them. I can't leave em with my mom cause she's tired of em, my dad and stepmom already have 3 dogs, my older sister hates cats (and pretty much any kind of animal), our closet friend already has 2 cats (one is a sibling of my youngest cat), and I do -not- want to give them to the animal shelter. And I don't want to give them to just anybody. What should I do?

Cynthia,
Thank you for wording it better. I am not very good at wording or verbalizing my thoughts all the time. :)

K,
I want to talk to you tonight about Socks and Hunter. They're my babies and I don't want to give them up. If you really do love me, you would understand that, and see how difficult it is for me to give up something I love. If I asked you to give up sushi before I would live with you, would you do it? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to. Please just think about it and tell me exactly why you don't want to live with them.

If he's still against living with them, I suppose I'd do what someone else said and "foster" them out. I would hate to do it, but I do love him. But I'm not just going to give them up without a fight. He does have to understand that if he gets me, he gets everything that comes with me. I've always wanted a few animals, and if he can't deal with that, well, his loss.
I can't handle the fur or the smell--both of
which get on your clothes whether you want them
to or not, regardless of what you do to prevent
it. People with animals are like people who smoke
in that they are so used to it that they honestly
think it really doesn't smell that bad. But I
just can't handle it. It's not the animals
themselves (I like them) and I'm not trying to be
a pain, I just can't handle fur or smell. And
yes, if I had to decide between you and sushi, it
would be you (without a blink).
David, when you're right, you're right.
putting her boyfriend before her love of her cat, but she is trying to find a solution and a new safe home for the cat, that is very good of her. I wish her luck with everything! donna
