Not getting a kitten now

Rosie · 10-01-2008, 02:49 PM

When I was married both me and the children desperately wanted a pet but were "not allowed" one. I eventually did the right thing and got shut of him - when he met up with his next wife the first thing they got was a dog!!

Sorry but I do know how you feel anger, upset, resentment. Compromise has to be done but I felt the compromise was always mine.

Not very helpful I know but I do understand how you feel.

Cats don't accept changes well, so a new home then a new kitty is a great idea & something for you all to look forward to.

Totaly agree with Smudgley. Okay your OH's timing may be a bit cr*p but other than that I think I agree moving and a kitten is not a good mix. Its stresful enough.

I just had a thought Jane - if it's the timing that is your OH's reason, and I do agree with Smudgely and Kazz that moving and new kittens don't really mix.

I know you had your heart set on one particular one - is it possible you could ask the owner if she would be willing to keep her until you are settled and can take her on. You could offer to pay for food etc in the meantime maybe.

Was just a thought and I do feel for you

That's an excellent idea of Grete's! Why not give it a try?
