I have to admit that the only cats that we have ever owned have been the good old farm cats that lived outside, but they were always under foot and in the way so I can understand where you are coming from also as far as the dogs go they are more intune with the baby situation and dont tend to get underfoot ours always tended to steer clear when I had the babes in my arms - they loved them but knew it was time to get in the corner if I was walking around with the babies.

I take my hat off to you in trying to do what is best for your situation and that of your pets

If pointing out that such language is really uncalled for on a forum that presumably minors can read, making some helpful suggestions about getting her husband to help and making a little more time for her cats, and advising that I do have cats of my own which are geunuinely loved and cared for after being called a four letter word beginning with "a" and having other four letter words thown at me is a personal attack then it really is a sorry state of affairs

Lots of people have small children and many cats, not a great excuse if you think you cat is overweight. At 9, rehoming them to me isn't going to do them any good. Just my thoughts.

Any news on if they've found a good home yet? If it was me, I would try and perservere, as the cats are older, re-homing them in shelters would be very hard as time goes on things could improve? and you may regret giving them up which would be heartbreaking.

Forgot to say! The black and white one is absolutely gorgeous looks like a neighbours cat, he's always in my garden (and house when he sneeks in lol!) Good luck with it all.

Deary me what an angry thread, im very sorry you are having to re home your cats, perhaps an advert in the paper, notices in shops etc would find them a home close to where you are? a lot of pet shops let you put adverts up there so worth a try?
Hope it works out.

Another option is to contact the rescue agencies and they may help you find your cats a home, rather than you having to take them in there. That way, they can be rehomed from your own home and it is far less stressful. Just a thought.

I have removed some of the posts which were argumentative and making personal attacks and the ones with bad language, please can members refrain from repeating these types of posts thank you
