My old tom cat is 14 - I have had him since he was a kitten. When I moved to this rented 1st floor flat 6 years ago he no longer has a catflap and an outdoor life. When I moved here I put him on the RSPCA re-homing list. After 6 months they said that they now had a place for him. I declined because I knew at his age he was not likely to get a new home and would just be in an institution for the few years he has left. I know that I would not like it to happen to me (what goes around comes around) I am caring for him in his old age, but that does not stop me from looking forward to his peaceful passing.

I have health problems too which at times makes looking after another life burdensome -- so I do understand.

Excuse my jumping to conclusions, its just that previous posts have shown that you found adapting to a pet a liitle difficult.
