I agree. I think it was selfish of your husband to say why don't you take Jupiter back. After all, your sister didn't ask for him. Eric told her to take him back. I think THAT'S the main problem, and the cause of it. Now your sister may think your family wants to give Jupiter back, when she wasn't the first to ask. Maybe she realized it wouldn't be right to take him from Tinky, but when Eric said that, perhaps she now thinks that Eric doesn't want to keep him. I don't mean to hurt you in anyway, but I really think what Eric did was wrong, JUST so he can get a new kitten. Really, that's sad.

I could NEVER in my life imagine seperating Popcorn from Muffin. I think that is cruelty. After an animal has been such bonded with another, its wrong to seperate them. You wouldn't like to be seperated with Eric, having no contact with him or not knowing where he is would you? Put yourself in Jupiter and Tinky's place. Imagine yourself sitting at home peacefully, enjoying your life, when all of a sudden Eric, or someone you love is taken away by someone else. You cannot contact him, and you have no clue where he is. How would you feel? This is something that would be VERY VERY hard for your kitties and painful for them at the same time. I still cannot understand why Eric said that. If it was a joke, I would understand, but serious? OMG Sara, PLEASE don't get offended by this post. I am only trying to tell you that its wrong to seperate them. If you seperate them, I don't know if either will ever forgive you. PLEASE PLEASE think this over. If I was in your place and I HAD to give Jupiter up, I would rather give both of them so at least they could be together. I know it would be hard, but you need to think in the best interest of the kitties. She is your sister. Its not like she left Jupi with some stranger kittysitter and now wanted him back. A sister is a sister is a sister. Sisters are one of the closest family members you can have. PLEASE talk to her AND Eric and tell them how very wrong and painful it would be for the kitties. I'm sorry you've been put in this situation. I seriously believe your husband needs some talking to. I hope you can get him to read this thread.
