I hope this is the right forum for this!
So, last week my cat Vader once again was at the door when I was coming in and ran out. Apparently he forgets every time that he is afraid outside, haha! and he ran under the car. I tell my youngest daughter all the time that she needs to let me deal with him when he is scared. She was already outside so before I could yell - she was under the car and yanking on him to get him. Well, he bit her back a few times. Nothing bad! There was a little blood.
I of course told my mom what happened and that I was taking her in for antibiotics to be safe. Well, she started harassing me saying that Vader needs to go!! He is a threat to my children and they are concerned for their safety. Vader bit her because he was scared and was acting like any normal cat would. I will not take him to a shelter where they would more than likely put him down due to a bite history. My daughter understands what happened. I asked both of my daughters if they are afraid of him or feel threatened, and they said no. Vader LOVES them.
Now, my whole family is involved. My mom said I was disrespecting her by keeping him. FYI- I am 30 - own my own house, married, etc. She said nobody will come over. I always lock him up when people come over anyways because I KNOW my brothers kids don't respect animals and his gf won't say anything if they are all over him. Its hurtful.
My sister wont even talk to me anymore.
To add to the story - we got a new baby kitten! He is a tux and his name is Loki!
Once again- my mother is on me saying she doesn't understand why I got another cat. That 4 is too much. Look, if I have the space for them AND can afford them, why not?!
So yeah. Sorry this was so lengthy!
