So you want to put the cat down because it wants your attention and love?

 

No wonder the wife left.

 

She probably wanted a hug and he threatened to whack her.

Six years ago, I shared my house with my wife, my son, three cats and a dog. 
 

Wife left me 5 years ago. Dog died shortly thereafter. One cat passed away three months ago … a few weeks after my son moved out. Another passed last week.

 

So now it’s just me and one cat.
 

Her name is Lazy.  She’s 14. 
 

Since the last cat passed, Lazy has been clingy and noisy. 
 

I can’t watch Jeopardy. I can’t enjoy Mets games. I might lock her downstairs tomorrow night so I can enjoy the Bills game. 
 

I feel like I’m down to two choices:

 

1. Get another cat to keep Lazy company

2. Bring Lazy to the vet to have her euthanized. 
 

I’m on a fixed income, so I’m leaning (heavily) toward euthanasia. 
 

I’ve been saddled with these animals for the last 20+ years. I get another kitten now and I’m stuck until I ***** retire. 
 

Just throwing it out there to see what you guys would do.

 

I love Lazy, but I think I’ve paid my dues.
 

Thanks and Go Bills!

 

 

Gugny, I'm blown away by how honest you are with yourself in what you're looking at.  If I were at my best, I'd adopt Lazy out if it were at all possible.

I think we may have a tendency to read each other's words on a message board and think that person is strong without thinking otherwise, but acknowledging our real vulnerabilities is true strength. 

Go Dodgers!!!

I'd ride it out together.  Her time is short at 14.  She's family.  

 

TBH, I read your post and felt sad.  Divorce is hard, son growing up and moving out is hard, and other pets moving on.  Lazy has been there through it all with you.

Every time i hear or see the word "input" i think of porn...........sorry, not sorry.

Try to find an agency or shelter that will take her.

 

It does not seem right to euthanize because she is lonely now as the only cat.  Would a vet even do that for that reason?
 

Please give her a chance to live somewhere else even if it takes a while.

 

I understand this is difficult if you are not a cat person, and she came packaged with the wife. Hey, maybe the old wife will take her.

Have we considered that maybe the wife was playing the long game just to get rid of the cat? 🤷‍♂️

 

 

 

 

I’m not being cold, just reminiscing about Gug getting the fancy new kayak he’d had his eye on, or…….taking his dog to the vet. Something like that. This has a similar nuance.

Please don't hurt the kitty.
