I would be very concerned about your wife's failure to control her temper. First, I would suggest you rehome your cat. Any pet/domestic animal deserves better treatment. Second, I would suggest therapy for your wife. I hope things go better for you.
Of course you're right. If you were referring to anything I said, I didn't mean it that way.I'm bothered by some of the comments here. This would still be abusive if she did it to a dog, or a child, or anybody else.
Of course she isn't violent to someone who could respond to her in like kind IE: smacking her back!!! You should be ashamed to put up with such a hateful *itch who mistreats your poor cat. Get it away from her ASAP and if you have sense you will either go with him or boot her butt out & you and the cat stay put!Hi Draco, my wife has never been violent towards me or anyone else and has never lifted a finger towards me. Sometimes I wish my cat was as dumb as a rock and listen to no commands, but because he will do what he is told quite often, she clearly thinks that he should be listening 10 times out of 10.
I will confess that I didn't read your entire post because what I did read was too upsetting. Regardless, it's clear to me that your wife is beating your cat and you are complicit in those actions.
I've lived with the same person for more years than I can count and I love him dearly. Even so, if he did what you're describing ONCE that would be it.
I would honest to god divorce him.
Your wife needs psychiatric help and you do too because you're enabling her. Please rehome the cat and then seek that help.
Or the house.So, your wife abuses a small disabled animal because he doesn't understand English perfectly and doesn't always do exactly what he is told to do?
I'm sorry, I really can't comprehend why you tolerate this kind of behaviour. What will you allow to happen before you do something to protect this cat? Are you waiting for her to permanently maim or even kill him? If she does this in front of you I dread to think what the poor thing has to deal with when you are out.
You adopted the cat together. You are just as responsible for his safety and well being as she is. If you allow him to remain in a place where he is being abused you are no better than the abuser.
Find a friend you can stay with, a hotel that allows pets, a cheap apartment you can both stay in for a while. Take the cat and leave the wife. She doesn't deserve you or him.
