Unfortunately ,my daughter just recently divorced, no children, just two cats ,he got one, she got one. She and her cat had to move back home .I know I'm going to get a lot of flack from cat lovers here ,but, I am not a cat lover ,never have been, never will be. My daughter works all day and sometimes ,because of the cost of gas she stays in the city where she works with people she knows, but she leaves the cat here ,so she really doesn't spend enough time with him. Plus, she then spends the weekend in the city ,where her friends are ,and leaves him here. Rather than moving him back and forth from house to house ,she leaves him here ,that makes sense ,right? Due to our small home ,she has the litter box in the spare bedroom ,where she now has as her bedroom. I cannot stand the smell of the litter box ,I gag and then end up throwing up, when I am forced to clean it, because she is gone. When she comes home ,I know she's had a long day ,but I am compelled to ask her to clean the box,. Then she acts as if I'm nagging, because, well...frankly I am. ., she is on a "can do it anytime" attitude ,where I am at a "lets get it done now ,so its not piling up" way of doing things. . I know she is dealing with a lot, too ,but she does have some relief when she spends time with her friends on the weekend ,so she can decompress, I can't. Now, the poor cat ,he is well taken care of by me ,just because I don't like cats doesn't mean that I neglect him, on the contrary, I probably baby him more because she is not here, spending the time on him. He is not the type of cat that goes off by himself ,he follows me everywhere, meowing and talking to me ,but I feel like I don't know what it is he wants, he scratches constantly, and even has a place on his tummy that is bald and red. He throws up his food ,he woofs it down ,like theres no tomorrow and then begs for more. Needless to say its a stressful situation right now.. I have made him toys to play with and even bought him some toys,he loves to play. I have bought three different types of cat food,but no matter what he still throws up, I have tried giving him just tiny amounts a little bit at a time,and I thought it helped a little ,but then he went right back to vomiting. I have found vomit in the window sills,under my bed,in the living room floor,its ruining the floor,too,because it stains. I am at my wits end ,I think he needs a home where someone LOVES cats and knows about them and can give him lots of attention and doesn't mind the litter boxes and the smell.,and the vomit. But my daughter loves him and will not give him to anyone. If anyone knows or has been through this same thing, and truly understands ,me and the cat need HELP! Please don't hate me.
