Hi,
My partner’s dad has been in a relationship with a woman for the last 4 years. The woman is disliked by all my DPs family members (him, his siblings, his grandma etc). The main reasons for this are because she causing horrific arguments when she doesn’t get what she wants. I have lost count of the amount of times they have split up and got back together and I think they are all sick of it. She doesn’t work and rents her home, whereas he has a good pension, savings and owns his own home so she has been trying to railroad him into marrying her and selling his house to buy one with her in joint names.
For the past year after a dreadful split last year things have quietened down and if they have been having arguments he has stopped talking about it.
Anyway, a cat a gorgeous and friendly cat became a stray on my DPs dad’s street and started coming to his house as his girlfriend would give it bits of food. Over time the cat has completely moved into the house, getting in and out whenever someone opens the door.
My DPs dad hates cats and always has, preferring to have birds in his garden. But his partner is an animal lover. So when I suggested taking it to the RSPCA for someone to adopt she prevented this. He’s gone along with it and allowed the cat to stay.
However, I am a cat lover and foster them for a charity with my partner. While being back over Christmas it became apparent this cat is rarely fed. Only every few days, if that. I find this very stressful. She has currently eaten once this past week when I fed her and now her food has run out. I have no idea when the dad will be buying more and how often this is happening.
It’s just really stressed me out and I feel utterly powerless to do anything about it.
