As some of you may know, Mark and I have sold our house and will be moving back in with my mom for 6 months while our new house is being built. Mom and I have worked out a plan of action when it comes to her kitties and my kitties but here is my dilema....Merlin.
If anyone remembers I have had a beautiful black male kitty hanging around my house for quite some time. I named him Merlin. He has an aggression problem. He gets very aggressive towards all my kitties and can get very aggressive towards me when he is over stimulated.
I feel so guilty now that we are moving away....just this morning he came by for breakfast and I almost broke down in tears that we will be leaving.
Here are some of my thoughts on what to do with him.
1. Ask the new owners if they are "cat friendly" and if they would continue to take care of him.
2. Go back to the house after we are all moved into our new house and take him then....but there is no guarantee that he will still be there or that he will even be approachable to me seeing that I will not have seen him for 6 months.
3. Ask a shelter to come and rescue him and I could go and see him everyday....and the shelter could help to socialize him...when I'm in the new house I could bring him to the house and pray that he stays with us.
4. I'm still not 100% sure that he is a stray....he looks and feels very well fed.....what if I take him and he really belongs to someone....they would be heart broken.
Can anyone think of anything else that may be an option.....the option of taking him to my mom's is out.....she has 8 cats and I have 7 for a total of 15 cats. It is going to be stressful enough for all of hers as well as mine....let alone throw in the mix of an unfixed Merlin.
Any ideas, thoughts, comments etc are all welcomed. Thanks in advance for any and all help. --- Meg
Here are a couple of pictures from last summer of Merlin.....you can see why I don't want to leave him.
