[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your husband is an asshole.  What is this, the 1950s and you have to listen to him like he's your boss?  Stand up for your beloved cat and figure out what's wrong.[/quote]

Ever heard of picking your battles? Do you think there just MIGHT be other issues in our lives that I'd prefer to wage war over rather than the cat? I can think of three genuinely life-changing issues on which we disagree and will need to work through. Making him feel like I've chosen the aging cat over him - something that would literally be right in front of him everyday - is not a great strategy.

As for PPs suggesting litter box somewhere on same floor. Where? Which one of our kids' bedrooms should it go in? Is the hallway the right place? Our bathroom is by far the best option but it is truly a non-starter. [/quote]

No no no. Kids' bedrooms for a litter box? That's so unsanitary.

And forget these shrill people who think calling your husband an "ass" is helpful or accurate. People! A cat only lives so long and in this poster's case, maybe another year or so. She's supposed to ruin her marriage for that? Sorry, but no one should ever ruin an otherwise good relationship for an animal that would gladly leave you for another owner with better food. And by the way, peeing outside the box is not an easy thing to get over. Cat urine and feces is truly foul stuff. There's only so long people can grit their teeth while their things get ruined.

OP, I agree with other posters that rehoming is just a way to pass the euthanizing duties off to someone else. It's going to happen either way. I'm sure your longtime pet would like to spend her last moments with you, not a stranger. [/quote]
