This is a consistent problem. My partners family own a dog and a cat. They always set out to get the dog and the cat ended up finding it's way to them. They have always clearly favoured the dog. It's their "fur baby". Okay fine. But what doesnt sit right with me is this cat has always come second best which to me is board line negligent. The cat has been quite poorly and needed multiple times to go to the vet. They refuse to take her, they always say oh she is fine just stressed ect or say they can never afford to but then always somehow find money to take the dog to the groomers and pay out ridiculous amounts on him. The latest is again the cat is unwell. Upon insistence I managed to get them to take the cat to the vet, they said the cat needs further testing. The cat is weeing and defecating around the house, losing weight and acting weird. I'm worried she is going downhill. But apparently because the cat is "eating" it's okay. Its frustrating as I know cats can mask illnesses and just because she is eating doesnt mean she is fine. But for some reason they wont take her. It's become so infuriating for me to see. I am constantly having ago at my partner about his family and this cat. It's getting to the point now where I know I need to take a seat back because its affecting my relationship with dp and his family. But I'm worried that If I dont do anything this cat will waste away, what do i do?
