My cat needs a new home

[trtls.livejournal.com]

Hi again,

We are looking for a home for our 8-year-old male cat.

We've added children to our home in the last 2 years and he's super child friendly -- but he really, really needs more attention than we can give him. He would do best in a household without children and would do fine with other animals as we've had other cats most of the time we've had him.

The problem we are having is peeing outside the litter box. The problem he is having is that he's just not happy. I can't promise he won't ever do it under perfect circumstances, but he definitely started doing this when our daughter was born and his world got turned upside down. All cat supplies we have can come with him; litter box, some litter, some food and treats. If you or anyone you know is interested, please email me at karen@mkmiller.org .

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.

i TOTALLY agree. jesus. i am a nanny, and it's impossible to get these kids to stop ripping off their clothes & start running around the house, let alone act civily to each other (or animals). kids love animals, and kids show animals that they love them in not-so-gentle ways. and shit, if a kid wants to sit on a cat, a kid is going to sit on a damn cat.
