[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love cats but honestly, yes, they can be plenty of work. Indoor/outdoor cats will often not take well to being suddenly kept indoors. And frankly I think it's [b]cruel[/b] if they're used to being able to roam; how would any of you like suddenly being trapped inside all the time? Getting Flowers in the Attic flashbacks here. And litterboxes are gross and a pain, even for a cat lover who voluntarily and willingly adopts one!

I feel for you OP. You're clearly a nice person, your concerns are valid, and you are completely within your rights not to take this cat that your selfish sibling and mother have now both elected to take on then casually abandon. (Gee, I wonder where your sibling got the idea it was ok to just abandon animals came from? There's a no-brainer.) However I bet if you post on NextDoor or Craigslist or a place like that you'll find someone eager and willing to adopt a good-natured cat like this. Your mom should be doing this but you'll probably find a better home for it, if you're willing to take that on. [/quote]

It’s cruel and deadly to let your non-native cat loose to “roam” on our native mammals and birds, some of which are actually going extinct. OP is doing the right thing by planning to keep the cat inside (if she takes it). All cats belong inside. [/quote]
