Long story short.
Ex got a cat back at the end of May (one of his friends has loads of cats who keep reproducing) I am guessing as his DD wanted one (his with someone else, she lives with him but mother does not). Unfortunately he lives in a flat, where he's not allowed pets. He doesn't let the cat out, and in fact confines her to his lounge. Fine, I wasn't going to butt in, however DD (ours together) came back from a sleepover there with a massive 4" scratch down her back which she said the cat did.
She has said before that the cat is "excitable" (can't remember the exact words and whilst it wasn't that word it was something like that) and "scratchy" (that was a definite description she used. We have a cat and have had her since DD was 2 (now 6) and is always around cats (childminder during hols has one, my mum has 2 etc) so although I can't be certain, I'm 99% positive DD would not have antagonised the cat in anyway.
Whilst I am by no means a cat behavioural expert, I reckon that ex's cat is just plain bored in the one room and not being allowed to go out. So would I be unreasonable to suggest he tried to rehome it somewhere where a) it's actually allowed, and b) where it has more freedom to release pent up energy?
Or should I just not say anything at all?

WIBU to suggest to ex that he gets rid of his cat?
