i guess i didn't explain the situation right the first time. so let me try to attempt again.
like i was saying i had felt real bad about getting rid of my daughter's cat. i had my reasons for doing it. one of the reason was because i didn't like the cat scratching up my sofa's. second was because he was trying and did infact scratch my son's face almost too close for the eyes. (my son is only 4 months). plus i' am too busy for the cat for the simple fact i' am barely home becuase i work 2 very demanding jobs.
i usually work in the morning and i would feed it before i went to work......but after that the cat would be in the house alone till nana(my mom) would pick up the kids to take them home & sometimes she had not time for the cat either. i would remind my daughter to make sure to take care of her meow. sometimes she would sometimes she wouldn't.. and i couldn't honeslty expect her too for her age (3) even though she is very gifted and bright... she would easily forget or get distracted.
i for one didn't get her the cat . the cat was given to her by one of my friends.
so i hope with this post every ones questions are answered..... & some of ya'll honestly don't pms over nothing.
don't be so quick to judge other's till you walk a mile in thier shoes.

I think when you put a picture of that adorable kitten in you may have opened yourself to negative responses. It is not the way I would have dealt with it but I do not condem you for yor decision. Your sound like you love your children and are looking out for their best interests.I guess the mistake was that your children are just too young right now. I raise Persian kittens and I really do not like giving them to people with very young children the reason being the children do not understandand are a little too aggressive with the cats and this in it self cause the cats to bahave diffrent then they would with adults. I have seen it too mant times. When they get older I sure every thing would be fine. You did nothing wrong as long as the cat went to a happy home and your children understand why the cat is now gone.

Firstly, about your first discussion, I did not see anyone "judge" you so speak, you brang that up, I just saw people opinions, and they are entitled to it, this is a forum, so expect responses from all angles...
Obviously you do not have the time for a pet, you should have told your friend, that 'No' you just simply cannot have the cat....not just accept it because it was given to you, look at the bigger picture, pets are a lifetime commitment..

Seriously did you read those posts? They basically accused the poor women of being an animal abuser. They were judgmental and harsh not all of the responses but some you can give your opinion with out trashing somebody.

What bothers me is the phrase "getting rid of." That usually means euthanizing the animal or simply turning it loose where it will become feral and then die from starvation, disease or exposure to the elements.
Did you in fact find a good home for this cat? Tell us the details. Have you gone back to the new owners and checked to make sure this cat is properly cared for? Is the cat getting enough to eat? Is the litter box being cleaned daily? Is the cat being loved and appreciated as part of the family?

the cat is in a nice home and no i didnt just give him to a stranger. he's with my daughter's godfather . so whenever she goes over there she can play and see him.
