    HELP! Is it wrong to give away a cat because of their bad behaviour?

    I absolutely agree. Terriers (my Yorkie at home is somewhat an exception. She goes after bunnies and squirrels, but she's never tried to take a nip at my cats.) tend to be prey-driven dogs. I was thinking of getting a corgi, to be honest. I love them dearly and they have such sweet dispositions...

    HELP! Is it wrong to give away a cat because of their bad behaviour?

    No, where I live it's strictly indoor only, and it is, in fact, illegal to have an outdoor cat. It's because there are dogs, coyotes, cars, etc. It's simply not safe. And I live in a condo (high rise condo, like an apartment but two storeys. It's hard to imagine, I know.) We have two balconies...

Small to medium sized dogs seem to relate to cats very well. I do have a condo, but my Yorkie at my parents...

    HELP! Is it wrong to give away a cat because of their bad behaviour?

    Thank you everyone for your kind words and suggestions! To clarify, the shelter I adopted him from has absolutely no-kill policy, no matter how badly behaved, mentally ill, or old a pet is. If they cannot be rehomed, they become permanent residents of the shelter. But anyways, I should clear up...

    HELP! Is it wrong to give away a cat because of their bad behaviour?

    And I'm not talking about violent behaviour. He doesn't scratch or bite, however he is terribly destructive. For some reason is an absolute nightmare. We've tried noise, spray bottles, verbal commands, keeping him in his crate when we go out and nothing seems to work. In the past two days he's...
