Not to delve into details but unfortunately I'm gonna be rehoming my diabetic cat. My other cat doesn't get along with him among other issues. I've had them both for 4 years now. Does the sadness go away?

I think it does if you know they're in a supportive loving home. We had two cats and they didn't get along but were happy enough if they got attention from us and we could separate the two of them if they were pissing each other off.

When our firstborn came along we knew that the cats would have a lesser quality of life as a result. They'd fight and be anxious, and we were snappy and sleep deprived too. I mentioned it to a guy at work and he said he and his new wife were keen to take on a cat. They spoiled that cat and gave her a better life than we could, and he kept us updated on her hobbies, health and that sort of thing. It made it easier for sure.

We moved house and the remaining cat had more space to play so he was happy. Lived til 18.5 years old and was given lots of hugs from our toddler over the years

Bro, did you just say the cat has hobbies? I've owned three cats in my life and none of them have had hobbies other than sleeping, eating, licking their butthole, and staring at birds through the window.

So your cats hobby was bird-watching.

My cat's hobby is chasing twistie-ties and watching what I do, whether I'm in the kitchen or gaming at my computer

My previous cat was an absolute foodie and had to give whatever I was eating a sniff. (She sampled meaty and cheesy dishes). She was also a breve junkie. She also loved ping pong balls (the 40mm precision sports ones) and would watch them bounce down the stairwell.

I meant just like general cat activities, daily routines and stuff but mainly butthole licking. I just didn't know how to phrase it and now I'm some anthropomorphing cat weirdo.
