Anyone who would do a thing like that should be locked up and the key thrown
away.

WHY would a woman choose a man over her companion of 4 years?!?!?!?

Desperation?

How old is this man? He may be starting with Alzheimers -- I understand some get violent.

Now, I *like* your story....."getting rid of a cad".

ROTFL I like the way you think ;-)

Of course you needed to keep your cool when he made the demand - don't
know if I could have held it together long enough. Like several others
have already posted, someone who would make such a demand around here
wouldn't be around very long.

Although I've always had the reputation of being pretty laid back, I
have a pretty bad temper, and one of the things which would cause me
to lose it completely is someone threatening to harm one of the crew
here. So I'm afraid that my reaction to the original poster's FIL
threatening any animal with a mallet would have ended with a police
cruiser or two showing up - whether it was one of mine or just a stray
that I saw threatened.

Desperation?

No one's that desperate; it has to be a case of not really valuing the
cat. There *are* cases in which people have to find a new home for their
cat - allergy, long-distance move under circumstances that don't allow for
bringing the cat (eg poor student moving very cheaply), move to a nursing
home or other facility that doesn't allow pets. I knew of a case not long
ago where someone had their cat euthanized because she couldn't find a
place to live that allowed cats. It turned out that she couldn't find a
place to live that she liked that allowed cats - ie she didn't look into a
lot of the private & basement apartments.

It could be worse - some people in my neighbourhood simply left their
kitten on the street when they moved out of the province. A friend who
knew of the situation and knew I was thinking of getting a second cat put
us together, and I adopted Betsy, at an age of about 6 months. I still
don't know *why* they had a kitten when they must have known that they
were going to move and leave her behind so soon!

The bad thing was...He was going to KILL him with a mallet & If I hadn't
taken
time off work to come & get him-It wouldn't have had a happy ending!!!!

Not only would I NEVER have a relationship with this kind of person, but I
wouldn't even associate with this type.

Flippy

Ditto!

When I first met Nancy (back when we both worked for one of the local
newspapers) I was impressed that she was a cat person. When we started
seeing each other I was also impressed when she made it clear that
anyone who wanted to see her had to get along with DD cat as well.

What amazes me is that men like this seldom lack for a partner to share their
insanity. Reminds me of an idiot friend I had who didn't feel loved if her guy
didn't have fits of jealousy.
