Inky

I thought things were going well with her p**ing problem. Last night after Alan went to bed, I smelled something . I tried to clean it up before DH noticed (I had forgotten to pill her last night and I hadn't been cleaning the box for a day or two). Too late. He noticed.
He got on my case about getting rid of Inky. So I shut her in the bathroom and set up a temporary litter box for Moxie. I asked him to stop talking about as I didn't feel well. He thought I was putting Inky first. He just doesn't understand - I've had Inky since she's 8 weeks old, it hurts. I did have an offer for someone to take her in Georgia, but I don't want her sent there. I don't even want to give her up, I just want her to stay somewhere for a while. I didn't sleep well last night I got all congested from this sinus infection I'm getting over and I was upset. I called in sick today to try to rest and took Alan to daycare. I feel awful.

He just doesn't understand about Inky. She's a mixed up cat, her parents were brother and sister. It just seems so wrong to give her up, but all DH cares about is the smell and the damage to the carpet and the loss of money with this place. I hate this place. We're crammed into 3 rooms, the master bath has a mold problem, we've barely childproofed, stuff is all over the place -- and it isn't ALL my stuff (when I moved in 1998, my stuff just got piled on top of his stuff and never was sorted out). I'd love some help cleaning things up. I wish someone could come over and help me replace the broken book case. I need someone to help me as its over 6 feet tall and someone needs to watch Alan (therefore 3 or more people are needed). I feel like cr*p - I keep crying and no one understands. I've got my own stresses, I don't like my job but I'm stuck there. I desperately want to work in NJ - after Alan's fall last month and then the blackout I want to be closer to home.

I guess I'm so upset I'm just rambling. I can't talk to my cat list internet friends, they would do anything to make the cat stay and that has stuck in my head for being on those lists for so many years (since the mid 90's). I feel like I'm being pushed into something I don't want to do. Part of me even feels like taking Moxie, Inky and Alan and just leaving...but that's not very rational or realistic.

Moxie would get to stay. He's so mellow. He's a good kitty.

I just wish I could feel better.

I wrote this to one of my cat lists because I got some very negative comments about rehomming Inky. I seriously think some of the people there although wonderful cat owners have some issues with people.
