You're trying to find a better situation for the cat. You would think all of the people who are so appalled by his 'mistreatment' would be all for that.
I cannot help but think of the gazillion fliers I've seen where someone is "moving to France/Brooklyn/a really cool penthouse" and needs a new home for their cat(s). That strikes me as more irresponsible, but I'm certain that those pet owners would mostly garner sympathy.
The answer? Let's send our two year-olds over to run wild in their homes and see how able they are to lavish heaps of love on your cat or my dog. Or to get much of anything else done, for that matter. LOL. (My dog/irritating pet person related rant was listed with yours on the Universal Hub.)
If you do not have children yet,I can see how easy it is to say "Oh just teach her to leave kitty alone. That's what MY parents did, blah, blah, blah" If you do, like me, you're laughing your ass off at the idea of strictly enforcing that kind of rule with a two year-old.
