Please be gentle with me, I'm feeling very fragile at the moment.
DM struggles to get around and is nearly blind through glaucoma. She has been ill for months, struggling to breathe, has no appetite and is depressed. I found out yesterday she has heart failure and we're waiting for a scan to find out how severe. Dr Google has told me it's pretty bad though. She doesn't know yet, her GP is going to see her on Monday and I don't want her worrying all weekend.
Sorry for the waffle but I wanted to give the background. Anyway, I'll get to the point. When I saw DM on Tuesday she told me she thinks she should rehome George as she can't look after him. I'm trying to convince her otherwise. He's fed, watered and loved. The main problem is the litter tray as she can't see when he's used it. We can get round that though, it might not be emptied every day but one of us can get in every other day. When I'm on holiday Harry's cat sitter can go in.
I think she'll be more depressed than ever if she rehomes him. They adore each other and he won't be the easiest cat to rehome - he's a 10 year old jet black cat with anxiety issues. If anything happens to DM or she has to go into a home then sadly we will have to rehome him but I can't do it to him now.
I am doing the right thing aren't I? I can't bear the thought of splitting them up unless we absolutely have to.
