I'm so upset writing this but I don't know what to do for the best, by that I mean what is best for my cat not me.
I live in a flat with a couple below me, I got my cat as a kitten two years ago and they moved in a year ago.
My cat has gone from being a happy normal cat to a cat that runs and hides under the bed and refuses to come out, If he does come out his ears are back and he's walking around slowly looking all around him like he has done something wrong, then goes back under the bed if I try to pet him or go near him etc.
The issue is the neighbours downstairs are addicts and spend their every waking moment shouting, screaming and arguing with each other, not making it up when I say every waking moment, as soon as they wake up they are screaming at each other, this goes on until one of both of them ends up falling asleep, my cat can't even eat his breakfast without her screaming and him running away from his bowl and hiding for the rest of the day.
on top of all this the neighbours keep smashing their own windows during arguments, she attacked him a few days ago and threw something which smashed, they slam doors at all hours of the day and night, their front door has been kicked in twice with him trying to get in, it really is constant.
I live in a Housing association flat, I'm disabled and I have been trying to move for the last 8 months, I have just been told it's likely to be at least five years before I can.
My cat is suffering so much, he's terrified of being in his own home. I'm suffering too but I have to think what is the best for him not me. I'm thinking of rehoming him so he doesn't have to live like this. he can't even go in the back garden anymore because of smashed glass and needles everywhere.
what do i do for the best here?
