I have given this difficult matter some long and hard thought and have reached the decision to re-home Figaro. This is the first time in my life that I have had to say this, but I am in over my head with this cat. Figgy is just too disruptive, destructive, and headstrong- it is always a war of the wills with him and me. To put it bluntly- he has horrible habits- and I can't seem to change him. He won't learn the word no and it is either his way or the highway. If it was just him and me I would be more than willing to work with him, but with 12 other cats (Good Grief!), there is simply no time for a one on one.
Figaro is a very nice cat (he really is), he loves people, he loves to snuggle, and he never ever hurts me, but he is raising my stress level, hell, he's raising everyone's stress level.
My question is this: do I return him back to the rescue group or find a home for him on my own? I cringe when I think of the rescue groups, or my vet, stuffing Figgy inside a cage where he will linger for weeks or months and I can't bear the thought of anyone mistreating him because he is so obnoxious.
I have never given up on an animal, but after two and a half years, I know that he is never going to change.
I will post some pics of him later.
