Welcome to Dana's blog!

My cat..........

I am so upset right now. Shortly before we were leaving for lunch, I watched my cat baldly coming in the bathroom and PEE DOWN THE VENT! I lookeda nd this isn't a first! I've smelled urine in their before and thought it was the grout around the toilet. I can't even tell you how upset I am over this. I caught him trying to pee in the bedroom last night. He gets VERY agitated when we have overnight guests, but this is the last straw. I don't know what else do w/him and I refuse to let him pee all over the house. Needless to say I was very upset on the way to town and then got into a nice 'I hate living here' pity party adn things started going downhill fast. We both loathe living in this area, but I try really hard not to think about it. It was aggravated earlier this week when Dh suggested moving. I told him we'd never agree on a place cuz he wants to be closer to his work and I want to be a little closer to a big city for HSling opportunities for the boys. He understands that. Plus we'd never land a mtg rate like we have now.  But changing houses isn't the issue. I've just never been in such an unfriendly place in all my life. The actual town we live in, I know TWO PEOPLE! The slightly bigger town isn't much better. We've been here over 6 years and I have ONE irl friend outside of the libriarians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've grown accustomed to it in alot of ways, but it's so depressing sometimes.

I was a nice wreck by the time we arrived for lunch (Dh and I drove seperate from the ILs as they were leaving for home straight from lunch).

So I guess I have to call the vet this week and see about getting him put down. I can't justify giving a mean, people hating, won't use the litter box cat to someone. I"m the only person on the planet he's nice or even remotelly social to. I just don't know what else to do. I've had him for over 13 years. I sort of hoped God would take care of this issue for me, but He hasn't.

The cat has also been a major source of tension in our marriage and I think this was the deal breaker for me. If ANYONE else in this house cared about the cat, it would be easier. But it's always me hearing DH yell at the cat about something. The cat started peeing in one corner of the bedroom adn DH nearly had a cow (rightly so) and we got that stopped, but there is no way I can prevent him from doing this all over the house. He's always been an inside cat nad he's declawed so letting him go outside in the dead of winter isn't humane.

Alright enuf blubbering about me and my cat. I'm just so upset.........

I am so sorry to hear that

But if your cat is 13, he mght have some physical problems (as well as his mental). As much as I hate the idea, putting him down might be the kindest for everyone. As it seems he likes you the best, then talk to him and tell him your decision and why. Then do it quickly before any more anger is spent. Good luck!

I agree with spinninggrandma! Although I know it is a tough decision to make!
