Cat Cage - I have the same cage which I use for my blind cat. He spends about 12 hours a day in the cage, which has his food, water and litterbox. He uses the shelves, but occasionally falls off *THUD* When I am home, he is able to roam around at will. If I could protect him while I am away from the house, I would prefer that. But he has adjusted and seems to be settled with his routine. Safety and routine seem the important parts.

Cats vs. Boyfriend - a very difficult situation indeed. If the person is willing to listen and learn about animals, there is hope. But if the person is inflexible, the alarms should be ringing loudly. Many of us have learned these lessons the hard way. I hope these people work things out with love and care for ALL!
