Oh Socks is loved by my 16 year old 2nd Cousin, and has always been loved by his family. But when he ruined my Cousin's mattress.. well she can't afford to have him peeing and ruining all of her belongings. He was bottle-fed, never has been outdoors, and he's declawed. It's a tough situation.

We actually didn't have to take in my family because they couldn't get out of the Houston area because of all the traffic But next time they are getting out of there sooner before a big hurricane like that hits, and they are coming to my place (and bringing their fur-babies with them!! They lost power from 2:30 am Saturday till 1:30 pm on Sunday, had some limbs down in the yard, and lost 1 gutter on their house. Considering they had an above ground pool, they are very lucky that they got away with JUST that. The local officials told people with above ground pools to fill them to the top so they wouldn't blow away or be stressed to break. So it looks like following those instructions saved them from a small flood.
