My cat Chloe I got as a baby. We had many happy years together. Sadly last October I got married and the man I married is allergic to cats and would not enable her to be part of our household. I had to give my dad Chloe since he was the only person who would take her. (the reason for this is at the time Chloe was having accidents on the rug in part because she was jealous of my husband to be and we think there was something physical going on to..since then my dad has found a vet who keeps her on an antibiotic and it seems her accidents have stopped). My vet at the time thought it was all emotional. In any case the only place my dad came keep her is his warehouse (there is another cat there...a stray my dad found) since he has 3 cats at home. He is thinking of taking Chloe home though since he has come to love her and she is so lonely at warehouse. I go to see her and it is pitiful. She is fed and my dad spends as much time with her as he can but she is still alone much of the time. When I first left her she went into bad depression and had to go on antidepresents. It was so sad and I feel guilty and awful every day that I had to give her up. My husband still won't think of letting me have her back and I have asked many times. I am praying that my dad will take her. His girlfriend does not want her though, but it is my dads house I keep pointing out. The reason I share my story is I am in a grief phase over Chloe and can't get out of it. If anyone out there has a cat and anyone tells you to give it up for any reason never do. Fight for the cat cause you will most likely never get them back. I was just so in love with my husband that I could not see the forest for the trees and now I regret giving up my beloved Chloe every day!
