Long story, so I'll just try to make it short. My grandfather has a cat, black/brown mackerel tabby with white, she is called Vilma. The cat is approx.17 years old now. He and her ex-wife saved the cat years ago when a feral cat dumped her in their yard. The cat was around 1-2weeks old then and had to be bottle fed. I was staying with them for 2weeks on my summer vacation back then (I was propably 7) and that was the first time I saw how kittens that small are supposed to be handled and cared for. Vilma grew up, and every summer I spent few weeks with them and I adored the cat. She was a wild one, most people were afraid of her because she could get quite agressive sometimes and attacked easily when she was having a bad day. I was one of the few people she was nice to. She slept on my pillow or on my neck and that of course made me feel a bit special.
Skipping to the current situation: my grandpa is 80 and is in a hospital because of heart issues, his current 'girlfriend' hates that cat and asked my uncle to shoot the cat because she doesn't want to take care of her and the cat is 'old'!
Well, my uncle didn't shoot Vilma, he took her home with him but his own cat hates Vilma and Vilma hates the other cat aswell.
I had a dream about this last month, sad coincidence.. I love that cat and I would take her in a heart beat if she was an indoor cat. But she has lived her whole life outside in country, she's very good hunter (that was her 'job') and has even killed adult rabbits and a baby fox..So it would be impossible to keep her in here, I live in a middle of a city in an apartment building.
My heart is breaking because I don't know what to do, I don't know anyone who could take the cat and I don't want her to be shot.
Vilma was a huge part of my childhood, and I just feel so helpless.
Vibes would be appreciated at the moment..
