Evening everyone
Just wanted some opinions on our cat situation.
We have a 17-year-old tom cat. He's fit and healthy in many ways, except:
Incontinent: (pees and poos often, on kitchen floor, and elsewhere if we let him out of the kitchen) He has a litter tray in there but seems to prefer the slate floor...
Highly neurotic: he yowls at night and cries a lot. Even when you're in the same room he constantly meows, to the points where you just have to put him in another room and close the door if he's not going to drive you mental.
Funny tum: he often throws up his food.
Apart from that, whenever we take him to the vet, he says how well he is for his age!
Anyway, I'm 29wks pg and while my partner does all the feeding/cleaning/clearing up after the cat, it's not been easy, and I'm constantly cleaning the work surfaces in the kitchen with bleach as he loves to sit on them.
Mw said I'd be immune to toxoplasmosis, so not worried about that, more by how we'd cope with the new arrival. With the noise and the mess, on top of the baby mess.
Does anyone have any advice?
No friends or relatives would have him, I'm sure. Is it terrible to wonder if it might be time to say goodbye? And would a vet even do this?
Opinions please!
