Has the husband seen the boy and girl together? I've learned to never expect someone to say, Why Yes! I want a kitten, when asked, but put one under their care... Could the situation be manipulated a little bit? Maybe tell the husband that you need more time to find junior a home, and would

I don't know what the hell I was up to, thinking I could get away with not syringe feeding a starving cat! My only excuse is that I'm so beat up right now that I was wishfully thinking that miraculously she'd start eating on her own. I feel like silly putty in the hands of an overweight,
