When it started getting silly (9 cats) she refused to have any of them neutered because she deemed it was "morally wrong". I think it's safe to say she has a few 'issues'. Damn I'm polite...

If your existing two get along then I'm sure I can find one out of the 29 that'll get along with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnozzalee Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I can't even imagine 29 in a room!! I've already got three, I couldn't convince the parents to take another. Best pets though, especially if you want company watching the sunday night NFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gust0o Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 If you ever need help herding them, or don't mind losing a few, I have a miniature Daschund who is an enthusiastic herder of cats... no matter where they hide. She can run underneath parked cars without needing to duck, thus prevailing in her natural hunting environment. She even chased a fox from the neighbour's garden, thus confirming Scrappy Doo as brave yet insane. I think she could handle 29. icastle, on a more serious note, get yourself on a cat forum and be frank about your position - your wife has maintained the animals; that relationship is coming to an end; you're looking for alternative homes. We used to keep a lot of rodents and got heavily involved in the rescue and rehome side of things - people will understand (some will judge too, but it's still out in the open) and you'll get greater coverage for your appeal. Just google cat forum - there'll be loads! I'm not sure what paperwork, if any, you'd need for ownership; it could be as simple as pics>chose one>come collect.

skej21 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Do you have a cat like this one? If you do, I'd be interested in taking him/her in (and maybe giving them a few lessons lol) Edited January 31, 2011 by skej21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adledman Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 i really have been trying to resist but not neutering on moral grounds! i think with all the unwanted pets we have in a so called animal loving country and the vast numbers destroyed because the charities are overwhelmed is proof that worrying about tibbles balls and how he wont be able to strut his stuff has back fired in a big way. lets hope they dont reach sexual maturity and multiply even further! i hope you manage to find a suitable home for them and that they get to have a long but sterile life. and blow a raspberry at the ex for me if you see her. thats the nicest way of putting it anyway. ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly irresponsible. I have two cats (which I am also looking to rehome) and the damage they do to the local wildlife populations is very worrying - mainly small mammals and birds, but they have even brought an adult rabbit into the house before!! I shudder to think of the level of predation that 29 cats would be responsible for.... indirectly of course - it's your ex who is really responsible!

Pet ownership brings along a whole set of responsibilities and my own feeling is that if people can't be responsible then they shouldn't be taking on pet ownership. Latest update is that the Cat Protection people are coming in this afternoon with a van and a pile of cages - they'll take as many as I can track down this afternoon in 'one hit' and it's up to me to find the others and deliver them to whichever of their centres has spaces. I've got 15 of them shut in the kitchen at the moment and am hunting the house and garden to try and find the rest! Shame I didn't know about it earlier on because I could have trapped them all when they came in for food at 8am this morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
