My toughts exactly CK. First of all , I don't think it's appropriate to get a $1800 couch when you have pets

And for the BF , same here, he would be the one to take the highway, not the cat.
I think this woman should try to find a solution to take care of this. Good luck to her to find a rescue that will take the cat, they're are full right now and all the spca don't know where to put the unwanted cats anymore. This is not a good time for unwanted pets here in Quebec right now. I wouldn't suggest to anyone to get rid of their pets right now , but instead to work with them to fix the problem . It's too easy to dump pets with problems on to other people, it's really really sad.
