When we married my wife had dog + cat & brought them into the marriage. I adore my wife and I've tolerated the animals so far, my complaints being they stink up the house, the cat claws furniture, their vet bills have been high, and kenneling/shipping them has cost a small fortune. We have a secluded yard so they spend a lot of time outdoors, pleasing me (and them).
We're moving to a large city where apts are tiny. I can't stand the thought of living in close quarters w/the cat; jumping on the bed at night, meowing for food at 4:00 am, the litter box, etc.
I'm staying mum on the subject but would love it if my wife brought up the idea of giving up the cat. Nothing yet. How can I bring up the subject with her? (I've tried & she gets upset, she's an animal activist) What if I offered someone $1000 to take the cat? It's worth it to me, I've spent that much w/1 vet visit. We have a baby, cats & babies are incompatible & I hoped that would prompt her but nothing yet. Help!!
