Well, I've got an ad in the paper because
we have to find my cat a new home. He's 9
1/2 years old, and I've had him since he
was 8 weeks old. I don't trust him around
little kids at all, although he has
mellowed out 500% in the past 3 or 4
years. There are a few reasons I'm
looking for a new home for him, and I know
it's the best option. But now someone has
replied and they want to know all about
him. So I'm trying to type up a summary of
9 years together....it's super hard to do.
I've had him since I was in high school!
He was there when I first moved out on my
own. Before that we had a house fire at my
parents. He lived in that cramped hotel
room with us. He's just always been a part
of my life and now I have to give him up.
Sorry for the rant, it just hurts

I'm so sorry Mandi. I know how it feels to
lose a pet. Just tell him what you said to
us. You don't know how to sum up 9 years
in one paragraph. that you love him, he is
a great cat and very sweet but you cannot
have him around your child. I hope you
find a good home for him.
Oh that must be awful, I'm so sorry you
have to give him away
I hope you find him a nice home where
he'll be taken good care of, hun.. we're
all here for you

Im sorry you have to give up your cat. I
had to give up my dog when I was younger
and it was the hardest thing I ever had to
do.
You should just tell him all the good
stuff and just ask him if he has small
children.

Yeah...I put in the ad he's not good with
small children. This woman has a 10 year
old daughter. He's fine with the older
kids as long as you don't touch his tummy.
He's never liked his tummy touched.
Why must life be so unfair?

i didn't know you were giving away your
cat! i'm so sorry. as you know, i've been
there.
i don't really have any advice for you.
it's been months now and i still think
about rudy all the time and i miss him,
but i know i made the right choice and you
are too.
what prompted you to have to find him a
new home? you don't have to say if you
don't want to.
i'm sorry.

It's been something that's had to be done
since Adriana was born. He got a little
bit jealous, not too bad. But I don't want
him to bite Adriana, as hard as I try to
supervise them I can't see him 100% of the
time, and as active as Adriana is....it's
bound to happen. She falls on him all the
time and nothing has happened, and I don't
*think* he'll bite her. But it's not just
that, he's been wanting out more often and
not coming home every night and that
worries me. If we were far out in the
country it might not bother me so much.
But he also deserves more attention. With
us each working 2 jobs it's not fair to
him. The dogs have each other, but Cynder
has ALWAYS been my cat. I've had him since
High School. It's just a mixture of
reasons why he'd be better off in a new
home.
