Day 285 : Mishka

Calories today: 506

As some of you may know I cohabit with a neurotic cat called Mishka. He is a sweet cat but psychologically deranged which means he sometimes bites, often poops next to rather than in his litter and occasionally miaows rather annoyingly.  As you can see he isn't in my good books.  Today I finally managed to wear down Theo, quite easily, and Eliot, surprisingly, to agree to finding him a better home (anywhere other than mine!).  I thought that was the hard part but in fact it's more complicated.  However much Mishka can grate on me, he has been with us practically since he was born and therefore he is part of the family.  Of course you expect younger members of the family to go off at some point to study at university and build their own lives but that is a bit more complicated for a cat.   I cannot imagine handing him over to an animal shelter or other similar institution.  The only way Mishka could leave is if we found him an "upgraded" family where he would have more (or as much) love as with us (or certainly with Eliot) and a better environment (such as access to outdoors).
So the search is on...
