Here is the story:
So far I am 3 months pregnant my baby is due in december, at the moment we live in a one bedroom apartment and I will admit that it is small!! I have a pitbull who is 60 pounds, and 3 cats whom I love very very much. My boyfriend came to me and suggested that we get rid of the two cats (King and Prince) because of the fact that they are terrors, they wreck everything in my house, they knock everything off the tables computer desk and the mantle above the tv. I love them a lot and realize that they possible do that because they are bored and live in such a small area. The reason why I wouldnt get rid of Princess is because of the fact she is in her own little world and doesnt do anything, she is super laid back. Here are the options that my boyfriend suggested that we should do:
1. Let King and Prince outside and they can become outside cats. Only one problem I live by a high way and I would worry day and night about them. My back yard is also very big and suggested to him that I make some kind of huge kennel for them and they could come in at night time, but at the same time, they shouldnt be caged up. I also thought that if I let them out I could some how train them to only stay in our fenced in back yard, but how would I go about that??
2. I could find King and Prince a good home and let them go to a place where I know they will have the room to run around and do as they want, but I dont know know any body that is looking for a cat let alone two cats.
See why its hard for me? I love my animals very much and I know that once the baby is here its just going to be too much for us. To live in a one bedroom apartment with a dog 3 cats and a newborn oh and not to mention we also have a saltwater fish tank!!
I will appreciate any advice that any body could give. what would you guys do. who would do what and why would you make that decision??
