    I dont have any advice but do sympathise with you. I am feeling the same about my cats at the moment. I hope we both can work something out so that all concerned are happy

    Thanks all. I don't think I could actually put them down- and if I did, I know would feel terrible, so in reality its not really an option- mainly frustration speaking. (Bathsheba, you will be appaled to hear that when my big cat was young and I got him from the shelter, his behaviour was so bad that I was advised by a vet to put him down because he "wouldn't change". I couldn't do that and lots of love later he is a much happier cat. So I think if I could go through that with him, I couldn't get rid of him now!)

    But I know something does need to change.

    We have been thinking for a while about re-housing the little cat and keeping the big one. Do you think this would make it easier or harder on the big one? They don't get along great, but at least they are kind of company for one another.

    It's so hard. We are going through this with our dogs at the moment. It is so hard to know what is the best decision. I'm no help honestly but just wanted to wish you good luck making your decision because I know we are struggling. Let us know what you decide.
