I did not say that your friend's situation involved suffocation but the other case I saw at my local vet.

I also stated that if the parents have a good reason, sadly the cat must be rehomed.

Lastly, I have no problem with inside/outside cats as my own cats are so.

Please read my post properly, before getting upset.

The only way my comments would refer to your friend, would be if (Note I said IF) your friend didn't really need to get rid of older cat but choose to use the baby as an excuse.

Either way, good luck on rehoming the cats.

(I still think both cats should be rehomed together if they get on well, less upsetting for the cats.)
