[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in animal welfare, and I think it would be kinder to euthanize your cat than to leave him locked in a laundry room.

If you have truly exhausted every option - speaking with your vet, and perhaps also a behaviorist - and your family is unwilling to live with the pee and poop in the wrong places, then I don't see much other choice. You can try to rehome your cat, to a family who understands that he has special needs now. But that isn't easy to do.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Frankly, your husband is an asshole. But you probably already know that.[/quote]

"To a family that understands he has special needs"?? We've been dealing with this for 5 years. Our home is basically stripped bare because I've been trying to prevent having to keep him separated. We are living with plastic wrap on our sofas. We are the farthest thing from cruel. Rehoming isn't an option - I can't imagine anyone will be more patient with this cat than we are. Plus we are his family.

The idea of euthanize him breaks my heart...I just can't.[/quote]

Do it for your cat, not for you.

Google "cat quality of life score." Talk with your vet. Our vet told us better a little too soon than too late, for the cat's sake.

It sounds like it is time. I am sorry. [/quote]
