I’ve thought long and hard about this, and honestly think they’ll be better off elsewhere. I’m only home and awake 2-3 hours a day, my new apartment is too small for the lot of them. This place is really only good for 1 cat (maybe), and I wouldn’t want to have 1 cat with my schedule. My schedule isn’t fair even for the 3 of them. Poor critters…
So Thursday someone is coming to look at the sisters, and someone else may be coming for the big guy. We’ll see how well I like them first, see if I get any bad vibes. In both cases they’re families with good-sized homes, so that’s good. The critters deserve lots of space and love, and I know I can’t give either right now.
Sorry guys… the three of you fuzzy beasts deserve better than this
Well, it’s your choice, of course. If you really want to give them up, then you should.
Otherwise, unless you’ve seen signs that they’re unhappy/in distress, you should keep them. Cats don’t need a lot of space, and since they have each other, they don’t really need your presence in order to be content.
I agree with this completely. Unless you’ve seen signs of stress, like spraying, excessive fighting or inappropriate clawing behavior, there’s no reason to give up on them.
Ever since we moved into this apartment, they’ve been stressed. Two of them fight pretty much every night, and the other hides frequently. They were okay at the last apartment, which was a lot bigger. I don’t see myself moving again anytime soon, so I need to find a better option for them, and myself. They’re stressed out, and I really don’t want to listen to cats fight the few hours I’m awake at home. It’s not like I can separate them, really.
How long have you been there? The cats could still be stressed about the move itself, not necessarily because they’re unhappy with their new digs. Whenever we’ve moved, my eldest dog has been anxious for a month or so before she setlles down.
That said, I wish you the very best. I don’t believe for an instant that you’ve come to this decision lightly and I’m sure you’re doing it because you want the best for your kitties. You’re a good person to be willing to give them up if that’s what’s best.
Sorry to hear that your mogsters are unhappy, but you seem to have taken a long time to come to this decision and I’m sure you feel you’re doing the best thing for them. I hope everything works out for you and the moglings.
