Walking Down a Different Street

[Not Quitting]

I know what you mean about war wounds. My cat had a cut on her ear and it never healed up properly. She acts more like a tomcat, not very feminine at all! My little one doesn't like going outside that much especially if it's cold or wet, but she's starting to go out more now she's getting older.

Ours was missing a big chunk of one ear and had scars all over the place from all the fights he got into. And no matter how hard we tried, he wouldn’t always come in at night. There weren’t any coyotes in the area then so it was safer in that respect, but there were a lot more outdoor cats in those days. Nowadays there’s no way I’d want a cat to stay out overnight – he might end up as coyote food.

NQ, if your H hates cats then be prepared to get rid of it if he ever comes back. I know revenge is sweet, but it might be going a bit too far However he might get to like cats, you never know. This MLC has the opposite effect you know! My H liked cats when he was living here, but now he thinks they shed hairs everywhere and permanently got fleas so he moans about them. The times that I saw the old H was when the little cat went to sit on his lap and he makes a fuss

H doesn’t really hate them; it’s just another one of his excuse. He does prefer dogs, the bigger the better. And the way things are right now, the chances of him moving back are extremely slim. He is too wrapped in OW and his fantasy life, and has adamantly stated that he will never live in the same house as my dad ever again. More MLC opposite as he always said that my dad was the closest thing he had to a dad himself since he was 9 (he was living with his dad until he was sent back to live with his mother when his dad's GF’s son decided he didn’t like H). Don’t get me wrong, I’m not giving up yet; I’m just preparing myself for life without H as that is seeming more and more likely these days.
