Thank you. Feel free to share it, if you want to :) our local shelter has posted it too!

We have two big balconies, one faces a street one a huge garden. In the garden there are a lot of outside cats Im sure he has spotted some of them already. And birds, of course. I dont think there are animals. I think he does like laser pointer. As I said above, he plays catching the dot with...

My bf plays laser pointer with him and he seems to find it fun. He chased a green dot for 20 minutes yesterday, so I guess the laser pointer is a thing, but he just doesnt want me to be the one with the pointer in the hand. He has a full choice of toys but at the moment throwing things off...

I played laser pointer with him today but he refused. He is very clingly to my bf and ignores me. I can understand. My bf knows how I feel - he still feels like I overreact. Today I was at the doctor to receive treatment for bites from Gustl and all he had to say was, that it is my own fault...

My psychistrist is a medical doctor you‘re right - he’s not a therapist. I have had CBT in the past but had to quit last year because insurance wouldnt cover it anymore. Thats why I joined the support group. I will try for another cover though. Ive spend my last savings for Kurt and I dont work...

Thank you for telling me your story. Im sorry you had to go through this. I know how tempting it is to look for ways which will keep you from dealing with the source of the problems. I said trigger because I think he is one. But I act the way I act because I am afraid that if I dont do something...

I dont know how it works where you live, maybe it is different, but I see him every 3-4 weeks for 50 minutes. Its not a short visit. I also visit a support group for another mental health issue.

He had a full check-up in December - at least that‘s what his former caretaker told us.

Thank you. Its true - these are thr two options and I go for the latter.

But there lies the problem. I wont have a cat on my own - not with Gustl. As I described above, he has trouble with other cats and there is only a very small chance of finding another cat he will accept. He has met 5 different cats of all ages and gender before (except kittens) and he was...

I don't think that you are capable of rating my maturity level because we had a brief encounter on the internet. First of all, I do not want to argue you with, I didn't mean to in my first reply, I do not mean to now. But your answer sounds very sharp to me- and again, sorry if I am wrong - but...

Thank you for your own story and you point of view. I disagree with one statement though. I dont think it is better to „ditch the bf“ rather than the cat. We‘ve been together for 5 years and we‘re getting married in September. To be honest, this comment hurt me. To me it means that my needs and...

@rubysmama I dont know much about him. He is 5 and was born in the UAE. His former owner left him and he was left to his own, but I am not quite sure if that means he was a stray cat. To me he lacks soft big eyes and cuteness. I know its mean, its not fair to judge him by his looks, but he...

Thank you everyone for stopping by and taking a moment to read our (long) story. Iam crying again right now because this little ginger man has touched so many people in some way and I am almost a little bit proud. He loved to get allll the attention, so I hope this makes purr a bit

Yes we thought about a kitten too. He met 5 cats (male and female) from age 1-7 before and hated them all. But they didnt live long together..

No not without my bf, never. I didnt mean to say that - but this is exactly my dilemma. His needs against mine. I agreed to try for 6 more weeks - after that we will see and decide - together of course. I feel so selfish but even that seems like the hardest thing ever to me... We also thought...

Hi @jcat thank you for your success story! Today I am in a very dark place, lots of tears and anger. I am trying very hard to trust all of you here because you know better than anyone else what‘s going on and you have experience bit today it is so hard to let these succes stories get through to...

See that‘s my fear: that he will my bfs cat and I will feel lonely for the next 10 years. I need a loving cat who needs me and who makes me feel happy. I work a lot from home and my bf is out a lot so the cat will mainly spend time with me. I need us to be a team - my bf doesnt need this as much...

Ive considered this too. But all I can think is: What about Gustl? He CANNOT stay here no matter what. I‘ll do counselling and whatever is needed but for me the stress will not end until I have him out of my life.

I can so relate to this! I look at all those poor, sweet and lovely cats out there and wish nothing more to adopt them as soon as possible in exchange for Gustl. I feel like I COULD love another cat but not him, certainly not him. I have built so much anger that its starting to make me sad and...
