I'm really struggling about what to do for the best here, would appreciate any advice.
I got my lovely cat about 4 years ago. She was living unhappily on a farm, too frightened to go outside, not getting much to eat and all scabby and big bald patches from stress grooming. She also had a completely in-grown claw. Poor girl spent a week hiding under out spare bed but got to know us and was really happy. She won't go outside still and hides from visitors but DH works from home and she seemed great.
Now you probably know what's coming next. We had a baby. Was ok at first but now DS is 18 months and I think the poor cat is really unhappy. I cannot overemphasise how careful I am to not let him bother her. He has literally never touched her. But he's noisy of course and she used to sleep in the room that's now the nursery so she lost that safe space. She's started being sick a lot, I think it's stress.
I'm honestly in floods of tears writing this, I feel dreadful. Just not sure what to do for the best. I feel so guilty, she had a lovely life and I don't know if the best ting is to find someone who can give her the calm life she clearly needs.
Any experience/ thoughts?
