RE: euthanizing kitties for bathroom habits

Title: Message

One friend of mine was privately defending to me another friend who had *bought* a puppy and was apparently considering getting rid of him---too much work (yeah, I know---what am I doing with friends like this). I didn't know this--the dog "guardian" apparently said that she knew I wd disown her if she did that.

Anyway, the defense was, well, at least it's better she admits defeat and gives the dog up. All I could snarl in response was, well, people don't give their kids up when they find out they're hard work, do they? (I know, probably there are some who do, but generally people don't.)

I can't even stand reading this string of emails because it's so upsetting.. but I also know that it's common... I have a friend who is a vet tech and she tells me that it happens all the time.. she so far adopted about 6 of kitties who were brought to the clinic and one dog because they are otherwise perfectly healthy... it makes me soooooooooooo sad and mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and am afraid to find out how often this happens.

I have many cats at home who have a same problem... and yes it's frustrating and I get mad at them..but I can't imagine putting them sleep for it... I have a co-worker who did that.. he got rabies vaccinations and it damgaed his brain and started urinating out side of litter box and she killed him.. how awful is that.. if she had told me, I would have adopted him in a heart beat.. this was a couple of years ago and still makes me cry thinking about him. he was a very shy and timid sweet boy.. he did not do anythign wrong.. he was a victim of vaccine....

What sort of vet agrees to it, anyway? Hmmm, I must ask my vet what his experience in this respect is.....

This makes me sick. I hate people that do this. I have a female that is bad about missing the box. She is physically okay. I think her problem is that she is the lowest in the hierarchy and just gets nervous about using the more dominant kitties' boxes (I do have multiple boxes.). Now, I will eventually get ceramic tile flooring. In the mean time, I will spend a small fortune on cleaning products for the carpet. I WOULD NEVER EUTHANIZE HER. That is just the most sickening concept to me.

I didn't know that the number one reason cats are
euthanized is because of their lack of litter habits;
that is SO sad. I believe it though. My husband's
brother and his wife decided to put their cat to sleep
this past spring because it was urinating in! their new
home in the dining room. I was SICK when I found out.
If I had known beforehand, I would have taken her
myself. My husband just told me that they had to put
their cat to sleep, which meant to me that she was
very ill. But the next time I went over there, I
asked what was wrong with Angel, and adorable kitty
(she looked like a Ragamuffin), so sweet and loveable,
and they told me she was urinating in the dining room.
So I said, "So you just killed her?!" I was so
angry. Then they have the nerve to get another kitten
for their little girl, I guess a more "well-behaved"
cat, and then decide they didn't want it either, and
when they were talking about it, I just asked them to
not talk about it anymore because I didn't want to
know what they did with that kitten. We had
Thanksgiving dinner there this past week, and I really
just have to pretend none of that ever happened or I
would not be very pleasant to be around. I catch
myself wishing bad things on them when I think about
Angel, like 1000 cats converging on their home at
night while they are sleeping and peeing and pooing
EVERYWHERE, so that they house is NEVER the same, or
even worse things. And then I chastise myself for
wishing ill on others. Life is so not fair. I think
that should be SO illegal. But we allow abortion in
the U.S., and since animals are lower on the totem
pole than humans in society, I guess there's not much
chance of it becoming illegal.
