Youngest DD who is 23 has just bought a house with her boyfriend. She wants to take our 14 yr old cat with her. I am not sure about it all but wanted thoughts....

Topsy, have you made a decision yet?

Is this the poster who was looking after two grandchildren taking them to swimming lessons and dropping their au pair off at a bus stop and on another occasion wanting to sack the nanny I can’t remember what for though

Perhaps the nanny wanted to pinch the cat

I thought this thread had disappeared as it is so clearly a work of fiction!

Yes it is, totally bonkers attention seeking twaddle.

Seriously, what does the cat think?

If the cat is more attached to your daughter than to anyone else in the family, he/she will probably be happy to move in with her.

If the cat loves you all equally, then she will miss you.

If you have a garden and the cat is used to going out, and your daughter is moving into a flat - don't consider it for a moment.

If cat totally ignores daughter's boyfriend or has made her dislike of him plain then it is a no-go. Likewise if daughter's boyfriend dislikes cat or cats.

Oh well this thread isn’t worth replying to judging by all the other threads

Sago, that's one of my favourite sitcoms. Thanks for the laugh!

An old pussy shouldn’t be interfered with too much.

Not enough homework?

MawtheMerrier Tue 29-Nov-22 09:23:59

Just wondering why? confused

It’s a spoof. Waste no more time.

Is this a genuine question? If so I am horrified that anyone would consider the proposition of rehoming a very elderly cat- regardless of who it 'belongs ' to!!!!

This poster pops up every now and then with ridiculous and convoluted posts, nothing ever adds up.
They don’t even bother to change their user name.
It’s sad.

oh dear, don't they think we check .

Careful…….. it was curiosity that killed the cat.

Presumably the OP will be returning to the thread to view the replies, and will then doubtless clarify by answering the points that have been raised.

I was told that whilst dogs get attached to people, cats get attached to places. I would never move a 14 year old cat unnecessarily

Alioop Tue 29-Nov-22 07:32:01

I wouldn't want a cat of that age to have an upheaval like that. I had a little dog when I was living at home with my parents and when I was getting married and moving to England I sadly decided to leave her with them. She spent her days with them when I was out working and then was with me in the evenings so I didn't think it was fair on her to take her away from them and her home. It broke my heart leaving her, but it was the best thing for her in my eyes.
