DH dumped kittens on me

Long story short, DH took in some stray kittens that would otherwise have died. I agreed on the basis that he was the sole caregiver - I don't like cats and don't have time for them.

Of course, increasingly, they are becoming my responsibility as DH asks me/leaves me to do stuff for them. I'm particularly pissed off this morning as I got up early to work and he heard them smashing some glass so texted me to clean up as he is still in bed.

If I had the choice I'd take them to the animal shelter for rehoming, but we have young children and their dad has promised we can keep them.

What should I do? Either I'm stuck with the burden of animals I don't want, or I break my kids' hearts.

How does a cat coat £1500 a year?

I don’t think it does, to be honest. Mine eat medium food, don’t have actual beds, and have medium insurance (costing about £240 a year each). I think Battersea are just pointing out that the basics plus the optional extras can add up to a lot more than you’d think.

@Kitcatkins
Hiya OP, was just wondering how you were getting on? Did you manage to have a serious talk with your husband about the kittens?
