[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen plenty of people on here telling the OP what a monster she is for even thinking of rehoming or euthanizing, but no one is offering to take the cat.  Very telling.  Why?  Because no one on here wants their home smelling of cat p!ss and we all know a cat this old isn't going to get better no matter how many different litters or pills you shove at it.

As a PP mentioned, many of us who are horrified by this already have pets. I've rescued (and still own) both a geriatric dog and a geriatric cat. My dog, who came to live with us at the ripe old age of ~10 was taken from an animal hoarder who could not afford to have all 33 of her dogs, particularly since they all had various illnesses due to neglect (heartworm, mange, malnutrition, mites, chronic ear infections, etc). So no, the answer is not for animal lovers to keep adopting pets that have become inconvenient to their owners. That's how animal hoarding begins.

I appreciate that OPs situation has put a lot of stress on her living situation and relationships, but the revelation about introducing a puppy into the home is tough to read. Either the cat was already a stress in your life - and therefore it was incredibly irresponsible to buy a puppy - or introduction of the puppy is stressing out the cat. Both scenarios strike me as irresponsible. It's probably easier to rehome a puppy, OP, but I don't see that being discussed as an option.   [/quote]
