She’s a little tiny cat. She’s only 1.5 lbs and she’s 17 years old. She’s mostly deaf. Her diet requirements have changed and she seems to be starving to death. I’m working with the vet and within a budget to discover what’s happening with her but in the meantime she cries and the only way to satiate her is to feed her some pretty expensive prescription, canned food… about 6 times a day. This won’t go on forever. She’ll either succumb to whatever is wrong or she’ll recover. It’s going to take some time.
After 17 years of solid friendship with my lovely little cat I’m unwilling to hurt her even though that meow has got me on the ceiling too. Controlling myself even though I’m supremely agitated is called “maturity”. Get some.
You’ve been in my life 9 years. You never wanted pets but that didn’t stop you from moving in. This problem has gone on for a while now and I know you’re irritated but unless you’re going to man up, get a job and help to pay for the testing she requires STFU.
It’s going to take a while for me to save enough to leave you but the saving started when you took your hard-soled slipper and whipped it at my 1.5 pound cat. You see, I don’t want to be around when karma whips a 5 foot shoe at 100 miles an hour at your unsuspecting head, you fucking retard! When you’re done here on this earth may you go to kitty heaven where they feed on you… for eternity. —LoveMyCat

Pass that asshole my way and I’ll tune him up big time for ya. Throwing shit at defenseless ill Cats is so wrong on so many levels. Yup what a fucking retard indeed. I’m sure he felt real big tossing shoes at the poor Kitty. Surely you can do better than that fuktard.
Leave now. Take what you have and go. This waste of skin is not going to evolve into a better human being. The only marks he will leave on the world are bruises on your face and a string of shaken babies. Go!

Ditch the animal-hater. You’ll be better off.
Ivan knows best in this case. You seem to be in a relationship that’s going nowhere. It’s been psychologically proven that people who abuse helpless animals are generally psychos. Get out of this relationship fast but first, bash this asshole’s fucking skull in with a baseball bat while he’s sleeping. You’ll be saving people in advance because he won’t be around to harm them in the future. Wait, strike that! Sorry. I got off on a tangent. People who abuse helpless animals or children get me all riled up. Better to report him to the SPCA or another organization that cares for animals and let the law handle it. Got a cell phone or a digital camera? Record him if he does it again for evidence. For now get you and kitty should get the hell out while you are still healthy. This waste of oxygen needs to be left behind!
believe it.
karma did that to fabio….
only she prefers geese

I know you probably love your cat very much, but seriously, SHE’S 17!! Cats aren’t supposed to live that long, she’s probably going through some horrible shit. I know it will be the hardest thing in the world to let her go, but can’t you see keeping her alive for your own pleasure is the worst thing you could possibly do? Cats are good at hiding their pain and suffering, and the fact that she is crying everyday and losing a lot of weight is a good sign that this is probably her time to go. The guy you live with is TRASH! Kick his teeth in get out of that place. But don’t blame him for not being able to afford testing for your cat. Get away from him ASAP and enjoy some time with your kitty before you say goodbye!
You want to ruin a relationshiop? Put your animal above your partner.
mel is on to something, sounds like the dear old thing is ready for the big dirt sleep…and if you want to ruin a relationship beat up animals, works everytime
Helping your beloved friend out of her world of constant pain and decreased activity is the last, best act of love you can bestow upon her. It is also one of the most difficult. Take care of her, and yourself because from the little you’ve told us, your situation is a bad one.
DTMFA…anyone that lacking in compassion is NOT relationship material! Better to find out now than waste more time with this person. Good luck with your kitty.
DTMFA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh!!
Throw a cinder block at that piece of trash, and toss his ass out.
Cats don’t want to live that long, cats don’t look at life like we do, if they cant run around and fuck with something that’s dangling they don’t want to live.
Regardless of whether it’s a good idea to save the cat, the boyfriend showing such disresect for something the OP obviously cherishes is a deal breaker. Good luck saving up!
17 is old for a cat, but not unreasonable. Anything over 20 is considered super duper old.
Also, OP: take the slipper and beat that mother fucker across the beak. WHen he’s sleeping.
People like your bf are shit on a shoe.
i had a very teeny calico that lived to be 18, one day everything shut down and she died. she was very sweet but a bit of a leotard
your cat is suffering…keep in mind that vets have a vested interest in you trying to keep the kitty alive ..they make alot more money if you choose that route…treatment is sometimes helpful and necessary but weigh all the options …i have had cats all my life and had to put a few down…part of you will want to try every last ditch treatment …listen to subjective opinions who are not clouded by emotional attachments…you might should be letting the little one go..like another commentor said…when cats cry about food that much in the way you describe it is likely not just “i am hungry please master find something i can tolerate so i am not hungry anymore”…she may be telling you she is suffering…and by keeping her around too long you are contributing to her suffering..
I am actually crying right now. I hope you kicked that asshole out!!
Our dearest family kitty of eighteen years developed epilepsy, and which was triggered by something when she was asleep, and she would be sleeping on the top of the couch, and tumble to the floor and pee. So there would be pee everywhere and she’d be kicking in a dream state on the floor, her fur sopping up the mess, and then she’d wake up totally confused and embarrassed, and my Dad would clean her up (I don’t live at home anymore) and she would wander the house crying and confused. He have to wash down the couch and the floor, etc. and people asked him why he would bother, and that he should put her down. He said putting her down would be like putting down one of his children just because something was wrong with them.
THAT IS A MAN FOR YOU!!!
Our dear kitty decided her time was over, and wandered away this time last year for a long walk in the woods. She had a good loved live for an abandoned runt under a doorstep on Creighton Street.
Get rid of that jerk!
There’s no excuse for what your BF did and I’m not defending it. That being said, if this has been going on for 9 years then why have you let it happen for so long? There seems to be a pretty good chance that you have occasionally put the needs of your pet ahead of your partners needs.
Treating an animal poorly is a good way to end a relationship. Putting your pet ahead of your partner is also a good way to end a relationship.
Just end it already.
Feed Miss Kitty sardines packed in spring water. Easy to digest, high in protein and nutrients, and stinky enough to convince the fussiest kitty to eat. Good luck.
First of all punt the goofball. Consider he has been a nine year bad habit and smell around your place. Why isn’t the lazy POS working at something? If the sardines don’t make her interested in her dish consider that kitty may be in shutdown mode at the end of a life you made happy and at the first sign of pain and suffering ask the vet to ease her on her way. Most of our cats have been well loved and doteed on which is tghe way it should be with pets they mainly were in their late teens and when they began to shut down it was not easy to do. We big burley six footers crying waterfalls in the vets offfice but it was the right thing to do and freeing and painless for our little pals. Halifax lover in Cowtown
