"Mary" wrote What's really sad is that relationships that start out like that are either bad or end quickly. Then she doesn't have her loving little kitty anymore to help her through the sad time. I wouldn't give up my cat for a guy because that guy obviously wouldn't be for me and I'd miss cats terribly. A guy who everyone said was a "total ten" asked to marry me but he said I had to get rid of my cat Boots. I said no way! then along came a much nicer guy who was better suited to me. The relationship with the "ten" would not have lasted. I saved myself a lot of heartbreak and my great kitty, Boots. Good for you, Mary. I've spent 15 years of my life with Frank, and nearly as long with Nikki, so it would be ridiculous for a guy that I'd known for fifteen minutes to demand that I 'get rid of' them. That would never happen. Purrs for Patches to have found his onetruehome now. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi

"Junebug" wrote "jmcquown" wrote Some women are so insecure they will do anything to have a "man". I feel sorry for her. I give the relationship 6 months to a year, then she'll be wishing she still had her cat. I totally agree with you Jill! Some women don't have enough self-esteem to say no. I can see nothing but problems with this relationship. At least the kitty was left with KatGrrrl and not dumped at an SPCA or worse--just dumped somewhere. It seems to me that not only does this woman have low self-esteem, but so does the Father-in-law, if he is so afraid of having the cat share the woman's affection. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi

I certainly understand. I have Skeeter today because a woman who worked
with my son had a cat and a live-in boyfriend. The boyfriend decided he was allergic to the cat, so she got rid of the cat. It was her loss and my gain. She and the boyfriend broke up several months later, after his drug use got really heavy. Some women have no sense at all! -- Joy Owned and operated by Lindy and Skeeter "KatGrrrrl99" wrote in message ... I need to vent about this & I knew other cat lovers would understand....

He told his Girlfriend to "Get rid" of her cat & DUMPS him on me! It took me 3 days to find the little guy a home & he truly was delightful the whole time!!!

What a monster! The one that the girlfriend should abandon really is *him*
and not the kitty. I'm so glad you found a good home for the kitty. Best wishes, -- Polonca & Soncek "KatGrrrrl99" wrote in message ... 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!!!! I don't understand a woman who would let a guy do that....I really don't!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vincent 6/27/01 Dorothy 6/4/03 Quitters never win, and winners never quit, but those who never quit AND never win are idiots.

In younger days, this happened to me. No threat of injury to the cat but
"I'll just drop him off somewhere". So one day after a vet visit it was "Well he's in the carrier. We could just.." So to a local stables we went. Himself had a long walk to his car, bout 7 miles, still at my house. Chiya and I had tune and crab snacks and a smirk when the car started. I always thought of it as "getting rid if a cad".
