to want to give away a cat

UCM

Thankyou for the dummies sewing book
I don't think I'm ever gonna master the pincushion...............
Thing is I just don't want to make a fucking pincushion .

Do you want me to send it back to you or is there anybody else in the queue(how the fuck do you spell queue?)

I'm still using it for the techniques. but just don't want a pincushion

I used to adore my cats. I still do I guess but boy are they a pain now we've got DS. We just haven't the space and I keep tripping over the litter tray and their food bowls in the kitchen, we can't get rid of their fleas, one of them keeps p*ssing on the kitchen floor, etc. They did all these things before but they were my babies then, but now I've got a real human baby. That makes me feel terrible, poor things.

Right I had a kitten it was fab until I realised it couldn't shit in the litter tray dug up my carpets and brought fleas into the house where my 6 month old dd was crawling aroung and the fecking flea would jump on her face as she crawled. So I found a farm that had mice cats and put him there.

DH still doesn't know but then he thinks cats are fecking great

I don't think I am part of the cat brigde, just shooting cats is something I don't like, since my cat was shot last year..

sorry for hijacking..

I also recieve even now, a christmas card from one of the 'cats', which I think is probably a bit 'mad', but I made sure my cats went to a good home. It would never happen again, we had both done shortly after the first litter. Dh & I were both up in shifts looking after them as their mum decided to kill one of the babies.

maybe the cat is like this due to being a kitten he thinks its playing i should know iv got a kitten whos about 4months old and he bite alot but just playing

if you can keep him away from baby

I gave my kittens to a good home, but was very fortunate that a couple of young Drs. wanted them and gave me 150.00 in vouchers after they took 2, they also sent photos and a christmas card. Yes I did visit their house.

sorry, the was for UCM's post.

I am going to answer that, No.

But I love to wind up the cat brigade

Mini & Stumpy are quite happy in the front room with their Daddy, he has one on the top of our sofa and one on his lap. I do, however, have a problem with them sleeping on everything that is clean.

Ok, I lied, I fucking hate cats.

awww UCM so you don't shoot them...???

goldenwings - I think you need to give her two choices

1: she comes and collects the cat
2: you take the cat to a rescue centre

It's not fair for your baby to be at risk of being injured, and it's not fair for the cat to be in an environment where he's not really wanted.

You have done your best by him, but your DP's sister is being selfish and unreasonable in expecting you to obey her orders, and not taking responsibility for the animal she initially took in.

where I live kittens are very scare and cost a small fortune - £80 in freeads and I paid £100 in a pet shop for a bog standard moggy. So here you could definatively get £40 for it... but I think this little kitty would be best off at the cat's protection league as they have the time and resources to find it a more suitable home.

Sorry Portsmouth is too far away for me to travel to get it. Poor thing.

Well, if dp's sister wants to get the money of the injection back, perhaps she can try to sell it herself?

I can't see why, if you are dealing with the problem cat, she has a say in this matter?

I would offer the sister two options:

1. Selling the cat herself or,
2. allowing you to give it to whomever wants it/taking it to a refuge.

ZK, the fact that this person wants to sell a cat even though they have hoisted onto someone else to sell.

You never sell kittens, ever, you put restrictions on the people who are going to have them.

Probably going a bit ott on this thread to prove that I don't fucking hate cats, just mine

She desn't deserve the bloody cat back!!

Send it to be rehomed.

How the hell can she say that the cat has to stay in your home?

I'd not have anything in my home that scratched and bit me or my children.

Although we have cats they stay outside, they are wild cats.... they come here to be fed but mostly stay around the hay shed to get the mice.

We've just had another litter of kittens. 8 have already been taken but I think we will keep the rest.

Sod the money, give the cat to a good, decent home.

so what!! I'm expecting and have 3 cats, you only have to avoid cleaning the litter tray out

Give the cat to the people who offered who are obviously going to look after it. Then have the row with your SIL.

Show her this thread if you wish.

A kitten is not an ebay item!!!!
