Sadly, I think that we might have to give up the cats. We do have a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house, so we have plenty of room. We'll just have to combine the office and sports room and then turn that room into the nursery.
Tara I forgot to also congratulate you on the the fact that Jason now has to empty all the litter boxes!

were you planning on having children in the future? if you were the cats would have been there then aswell. I think if you are going to do it, you have to do it sooner rather than later because otherwise they will be more attached to you.Originally Posted by DRIVEN
It might just be too much. New baby, new puppy, 4 cats.We'll see though.
EDIT: I just thought, it will be hard to find someone to take on 4 cats together so like Brandi said they love each other and are going to have to be separated. That makes me really sad.
I agree with Lauren. I hope you don't end up having to find them new homes. They love eachother from the pictures I have seen and it might be really hard for them to adjust. I have my fingers crossed that you will be able to keep them and the puppy when the new baby comes!
I agree with Lauren and Brandi. Lauren makes an excellent point that if you were planning on starting a family, wouldn't it have been mush more appropriate to stick to just two cats?
The decision to bring a pet into the home is a great commitment, so it truely upsets me to read that due to the fact that a baby is on the way, you are concidering to rehome your cats
Your puppy will also grow and take up much room in your place and I'm worried that he might find the same situation facing him
Please excuse my negative view, but I'm concerned about the welfare of these poor animals

In my experience, and although I'm not a mom, my siblings are dramatically younger than I am (I was the "oops" baby)...having a new baby BY HIM OR HERSELF will be way too much to handle in those first few weeks.
There are moms and dads on this site who have gone through the whole pregnancy and new baby thing with plenty of pets. My advice would be to get one of them to mentor you. I agree with Sar and Lauren. Pets are a committment...they ware part of the family. I work with little kids, so I know all about Lilo and Stitch and they have this saying that goes Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind. It would be unfair to leave anyone behind.
But you have VAST resources on this site alone!

I guess I have a problem with "giving up" animals because a baby is coming. I can't help but wonder why. When you took on the animals did you not know they would live more than a year or 2 and that if you were planning on a family before the cats grew old and died that you would give up the animals? I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, etc., and my parents never gave up any of the animals when they started having us children. I've never had to give up my pets when we started our family years ago.
I'm sorry, I just don't understand.

Congrats! Quite a baby boom around here lately!
Well expressed, Linda!
Another one here who can't grasp giving them up
Like i said in mondays thread when you said about possibly giving up 2 of the kittens i said i would have bonded with them already.
