Hi all -
I feel at my wit's end. I have two cats. Mal is my baby, and I love and adore her and we'll be together forever. I've had her almost two years. Alex I got one year ago and I don't like him. I just don't.
He's a perfectly good cat. He's socialized, doesn't bite at me, is cute. I just don't like him. I've never bonded with him. I get stressed out whenever he rough houses with Mal and she starts hissing at him but he just won't back off. Whenever I find clumps of Mal's fur lying around I think about just putting him outside and letting him go. I wouldn't do that, but the thought is there, and that's what worries me. It worries me that I can think that about one of my cats.
I know that rehoming cats is generally frowned upon, but at what point do you just have to do it? I feel terrible about it, because he's not a bad cat, not at all, I just don't like him, I hate seeing him harass Mal, and there are times when I wish he were gone.
