To rehome my cat?

I'm not saying I definitely will and I'm not sure I want to but I'm so fed up of him ruining every nice thing I have and of him being an evil little shit.

Sofas, washing baskets, divan beds, carpets.

He has multiple scratching posts. I've tried the plug in from the vet to keep him calm, no change. Tried sprays to get him to scratch only his things and sprays to keep him away from mine.

I just be minding my own business and he goes into attack mode.

I've now got a young baby and he can't be around her.

At my wits end. So AIBU to be thinking of rehoming him.

For additional info he's 6. Had him since 8 weeks and he was neutered at 4 months as advised. All up to date with jabs and flea/worming.

Rehome him, you don't deserve a cat!

Yes. Let a decent person look after your cat. You do not deserve a pet. 😡

We seriously need an eye rolling response on here

@goodadvice1980brilliant poto. Stealing it

Get rid of the baby. Cat was there first and you took the responsibility on to look after him for life.

Really? You think that's brilliant?

I love animals. I really do. But comparing them to a child in this way is just ridiculous.

The OP has tried various things and is asking for suggestions as she doesn't know what to do now. Your "brilliant poto" is just silly.

Did someone seriously ask 'Why can't the cat be around the baby'? Feel like some people just don't read on this site sometimes.

If the cat is randomly going to attack mode in a non playful way then it is an issue. Especially with a small child.

We used to have a cat like this, until she tried it with the dog we rehomed. Let's just say she didn't try it again and the house was MUCH calmer after that.

Rehome if you must.

It just doesn’t seem enough for some of these replies. I need more eye roll
