She probably wanted a hug and he threatened to whack her. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 On 9/22/2024 at 6:43 PM, Gugny said: 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.

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 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.

dpberr Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poleshifter Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 (edited) 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Never had a cat in my life until feb of this year. Daughter wanted a cat and a neighbor down the road had barn cats. Wife went there with the kids and I got a phone call they took the last two cats! Found out later cats do much better in pairs as they take their energy out on each other. Our cats quickly became outdoor cats as we have some land and just bring home al sorts of dead animals. But a fox or a mink attacked one of our cats and broke its femur and cut the ***** out of him. That was about a 3500 dollar cost. This is why I wouldn’t recommend getting another cat. I’d suggest trying to find someone to adopt the cat.

Behindenemylines Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 A shelter will take the cat, but I bet you really miss it when it’s gone. Funny how they grow on you. I posed your dilemma to a friend who is unmarried and no pets/kids. his reply: get a bag, insert rocks, insert cat, find a pond, insert bag …note he hates cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 So what happened to the pu$$y cat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotAGuy Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 (edited) Take care of yourself Gug. The cat isn’t the issue if I’m reading this right. I would think about talking to someone about all these events, be it a family member, friend or professional. That’s a lot of loss to deal with and it tends to accumulate. Best wishes.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 14 year old cats very rarely get adopted from shelters. That’s just a fact. Lazy likely will be euthanized there after a week. I would just treat her like a queen for a day or two and then take her to get euthanized at the vet. At least then, she’ll have you with her rather than some stranger who doesn’t care. Just my opinion. My step mother was on the board of directors for the Cayuga Co. SPCA for years, and I did lots of volunteer work there. I know how things really work. Good luck, Gugs. Tough decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
