Oh. I also have to 2nd the earlier idea about your cat. A though we tend to think of cats as being solitary animals, they are social and need companions. If neither you nor your W wants the cat, take one of your friends up on their offer to take the cat. It deserves a home where it will have so.e companionship whether human or similar to previous with dog.
