I must rehome my beatiful cat tiggs I am in tears because he is no trouble , its my hubby he use to like cats but seems don't like cats now we use to have a dog. he wonted one but after a couple of years I had to give the dog to animal rescue
I have tried to keep the cat away from him so I bought a furlined bed , mat etc for him to sleep in and kept him in the veranda but he just tanises the cat and expects the cat to do nothing so when the cat bites or scratches he shouts or taps him poor thing
last week I fell down the stairs and natuarally the cat sensed something wrong so jumped on the settee to comfort me and when hubby saw it went beserk and put the cat outside and so now I think it would be better for the cat if I rehomed him
He is a a good hunter , he's clean , has a lovely personality dos'nt sratch the furniture ,when you are eating he does'nt come to you looking for food he is such a wonderful cat what more does he wont?
should a cat bond with person/people who wont to rehome them first as rehoming a cat from a loving home and when it done nothing wrong could cause the cat too much sress?I don't know if I am right
Next door to me is a house been empty for 3-4 years ,the garden is overgrown plus rubbish in the garden he'll be sorry when rats . mice etc come inthe yard as for getting another cat forget it instead most likely if that happens I'm off and leave him to it
so to all soz but I wont be coming on the forum not for a while at least I am heartbroken tiggs1x

. Oh i am so so sorry dont leave the forum coz u might need some comfort and advice, cant you get rid of OH instead?

I feel really sorry after reading your post.

No offence, but saying I am less than impressed by your husbands treatment of your ex-dog, Tiggs or your feelings, is putting it really mildly.

Animals are not disposable when you get bored of them, and human feelings of attachment have to be considered.

We are very different people I know, but if I was in your shoes I know which one I would be rehoming!

Tiggs sounds lovely, especially his nurturing side, and I am tempted to take him myself, but we are moving in January and sensibly my husband has said we should allow our Furbies to settle into their new home before considering another addition.

I really hope Tiggs get rehomed to a place where the whole family spoils him. I don't know what to say to you as I know how bad you must be feeling. Just remember that Tiggs loves you and will always love you even if he is rehomed. By rehoming him you will be doing the best for him by allowing him to be happy and live in an environment where he won't be bullied or restricted.

Hugs, x

I think a cat feels very well if he is not welcome, so you are right not to wish to put him through your hubby's bad vibes any longer.

Though, personally, I would rehome hubby, not the cat. If my hubby would suddenly want to be rid of our cats, he would find his suitcase all packed at the front door, and everything I forgot to pack would be flying out through the top floor window...

Our cats own the house, and we are just allowed to share it with them as long as we take good care of them.

Anyway, if you are serious about leaving him if he wants another cat when he discovers Tiggs did a good job at killing vermin, why not consider keeping Tiggs and put hubby in the big empty house next door???

How utterly crap is that??? Ditch the husband. Really, and sorry to be blunt, but he sounds like a nasty piece of work! How can a person go beserk at a cat who is comforting its mum? That isn't normal. Can't you up sticks and go and live next door??? I'm sorry you're in this situation, but seriously, take a long, hard look at your relationship.

oh that is so sad.....

Poor dog, poor cat, and poor you !!

Hun, if you want my advice, i would put my foot down hard !!

He wanted a dog, and then you had to rehome him ?? that must have hurt you and the poor dog.
And now he doesn't want the cat...he may not be a cat person, but tough.. you love your cat, and he should respect that...it has to be give and take in all relationships...

Loads of love to you, xxxx keep strong xxx

oh hun what a horrible situation for you to be in

one thing I personally would worry about is - if Tiggs is gone and your OH doesn't have a handy 'target' for this apparent rage type behaviour - who's he going to start shouting at/going beserk on?

I would find his behaviour very worrying and get out of there - personal experience with an ex proved to me that 'little quirks of temper' can very quickly become a big problem if their normal method of venting is disrupted and no-one should ever go through that, not even for a week

Tiggs is obviously a very big part of your life and you should not have to give him up - is there a family member or friend who can take him in for you just until you get sorted out/prove the rodent issue?
