Has anyone ever decided to let go of their cat or dog? And I don't mean having them put to sleep, I mean taking them to the shelter for them to find another home for it.
I got this one cat, 13 yrs old, that is always causing stress. First for his brother, although they were okayish, he was never very easy.
He also is the reason I had to let go of my other cat Dylan 8 years ago as Bramble implemented psychological warfare. Dylan didn't come home much anymore because of him and in the end I had to let Dylan go as it was freezing and the poor thing was out on his own eating rabbit at an empty campsite.
As it is he became more of a grumpy git and difficult when Nila arrived. Bailey, Bramble's brother, was okay after adjusting, Bramble just a stress factor.
He's always been a weirdo, even in the litter at the time. The owners of that litter were happy to be rid of him, that much was clear.
Now Bramble was gone for some 2-3 days, stuck in a shed I think. It actually felt like a relief to not have him here. However awful that sounds, I feel guilty about it, but it was simply a relief. Part of me hoped he'd not come back. But I also didn't want him to pass away horribly, locked into a shed with the upcoming heat.
So I placed a help-advert online, and now he's back, ate and drank a lot, and he's acting up a bit as if he has to re-establish his territory. I think he's just a stress ball himself, easily feeling rejected or something.
Now I'm thinking, it may be best to let him go so he can hopefully find another home and be more relaxed, and my two other cats can be more relaxed without his stressed behaviour.
Will cost me, as it isn't free of course.
I feel guilty. But there have been so many times over the past 13 yrs that I wholeheartedly regretting taking him while I'd only planned on taking on Bailey (his brother). But I felt sorry for the git, so I took him as well. So often I've regretted that, however horrible that may sound...
Anyone ever had to make such a decision?
