I’m not sure if this is the right place for this post, but I would like to consider rehoming one of my two cats. We have a little Balinese and a big Siberian. I really pushed to get the Sib as a kitten last year; the Balinese seemed very lonely and was also sick (not contagious). I didn’t know if she would even live, and I saw a chance to get a nice healthy kitten. My mom bought her for us (we would rather have gotten rescue cats, but were trying to reduce allergy problems). I thought she could be a friend to the Balinese and to my daughter.
Anyway, we’v had her since Christmas. Yes, the two cats get along great. I tried my best at the intro and it was a success. But the Sib doesn’t like my daughter, or my husband, and only tolerates me because I feed her. She’s massive in size—she takes up so much room. Her fur is everywhere. She is destroying our belongings, and she tries to nip and scratch people. I think she hates being an indoor cat. All day she sits in the window pressed against the screen. However, I don’t think letting her out would be a good idea in our neighborhood.
My husband is (understandably) resentful toward me for pushing to get her, and he’s even allergic to her. We can’t have overnight guests without a lot of fuss because she’s commandeered the extra room. Our house is really small and it’s getting to be extremely stressful. I wish I could rehome her, preferably to someone in the countryside so she can go out and hunt. She is beautiful, she looks like a cat model from Instagram or something...a blue-eyed lynx point. Since she is young (not quite 1) and gorgeous I hope it wouldn’t be too hard to find a suitable place for her.
Does anyone have experience with this? Please don’t judge me harshly—I’m in over my head, and I know I made a mistake getting this cat. I’m really sorry. I’m just looking for some perspectives here. Thanks
