what do you do with your cat when you move house


Now I know it's a difficult question but what would you do, here are the options.

a) take it with you like I did when I moved

or

b) take your 10yr old to the vets to be PTS like a lady did today

Needless to say, the little pudding is now in CP care.

poor kitty! How do people do that? Okay so it's bad enough they don't wanna take their poor kitty with them but why not atleast try and find a rescue for them to go to first?

Re: what do you do with your cat when you move house


Take them with me ALWAYS.
Poor kitty, why on earth would you take them to be pts or abandon them, dont think I'll ever understand people and their attitude to animals.

I hope the kitty concerned finds a caring forever home very soon and can live out it's life in comfort.

Re: what do you do with your cat when you move house


I thought I'd misheard when I got the phone call about her. She is staying in the vets overnight until a place is sorted out for her, she may be coming here, but I'm not sure as there are litters due to come in. I'll keep you posted, good news is she's safe & warm.

Re: what do you do with your cat when you move house


Sickening . . . I could happily slap someone that does something like that VERY hard. My 2 are 10 years old and they are a totally intrinsic part of my family. I worry about them as much as I worry about my kids.

Re: what do you do with your cat when you move house


Its a disposable world we live in to some people animals are three a penny...too many being born and not enough homes. So dispoable like dogs...

The woman it seems at least told the truth to the vet could have said something else and the vet would have PTS.

Re: what do you do with your cat when you move house


I really wish I'd have been there at the vets when she came in. seriously I would have liked to have met her, & asked her a few questions, or even been a fly on the wall in the vets.

{Anyway then I could have given her a little something from Yola }
