My poor cat. I feel bad for her while at the same time loathing her presence in my household.
We adopted Bella 5 years ago and for the most part she has been my baby. Ben and I went for a walk past a pet store one evening and I insisted that we take this ball of apricot colored fluff home immediately. After that night Bella became a permanent fixture on the arm of our sofa.
Then the day came that we brought home the human baby from the hospital and Bella's world changed forever. I could not be bothered to give the cat attention or care. The fact that she would try and sit in my lap and make me pet her while I was trying to take care of a helpless 2 week old irritated me to no end. In a moment of insanity I even put up a classified ad on Used Victoria trying to pawn off my cat to a new owner. I had many responses but in the end I felt guilty and couldn't follow through with my devious plan. I mean technically Bella was not doing anything wrong except being a cat.
I figured that I would feel differently towards Bella once my baby was a bit older but I have become conflicted about this animal. Ironically enough, the baby is the only person in our household enamored by the cat.
So my dear readers I guess in my own way I am crying out for suggestions? Advice? Perhaps even an offer of adoption? A girl can dream.

I'm sorry I have no advice regarding your cat situation. If I only had one cat I'd take Bella. Alas. However you did remind me of the time I did take a cat from UsedVictoria. She was very sick and we had to put her down after 5 weeks. We're never getting another cat from UsedVictoria again. Good luck in finding a home for Bella. It's only fair that she has a home with the attention and love she's used too. Cats are funny that way.
That is really sad about the sick cat off of UsedVictoria! Someone didn't feel like paying the vet bill and thought it better to give the cat away? I am coming to terms with my own situation and Bella is still very much living here.
