I feel so bad and wish I could help.
About a month ago an old friend of mine died. He was like an uncle to my kids. Well his best friend that was also his room mate is my second ex husband.
He told me about a week ago that the owner of the house, which was my friends step dad, wanted to get the two cats that my friend had declawed. I talked to my ex about how bad declawing is and he was shocked and agreed they would not be declawed.
Well now the owner insists that either the cats get declawed or they have to go. I can't imagine how these poor cats feel. First their owner dies and now they are going to be booted out of the only home they have ever known. They are both older cats. I think like 8 and 9. I am not entirely sure but they are not young kittens. One is the sister of my Gizmo.
My ex said that the brother of my friend that died is looking for homes for them and may have someone to take them but I still feel rotten.
I am at my limit (WAY OVER) and I can not take them. I really wish I could. I wish there was more I could do.
I am so angry at this man for acting this way. I know it is his house but he let his step son live there for years and years with those two cats and his dog. He came home (he lives in Hawaii) to Ohio at least once a year and stayed at the house every time. He always came for several weeks. Now out of nowhere he is complaining about damage the cats have caused by clawing at the doors/walls.
I have been to the house on and off and I never noticed any damage but then I was not looking for it either. I think it is just an excuse to get rid of the cats. I don't understand how he can be so heartless. If it was me I would want to hold on to those kitties forever and ever.
I just don't get some people
I guess I just need to vent. I wish there was more I could do.
