You Tucker!

What's black and white and annoys the crap out of me?



He's hairy, stinky, needy, whiny, defiant and just downright annoying. He sneezes and shoots boogers onto my walls and other various places. His cat box smells up my apartment. He can open my bedroom door if I don't lock it and sleep all over my bed. When I lock him out of my room at night, he sits at the door and whines like a baby.

He makes me so angry because when I clean my apartment, 80% of the mess is from HIM. He has a cat bed but chooses to sleep on the couch instead. He sits in the corner of the living room and meows at NOTHING. And he doesn't have a little cute meow; his meow is a cry, a whine, an utterly pathetic sound.

I got him last summer because I was terribly lonely and hadn't had a cat for a long time. Now, I am wondering why I didn't think about that decision a little more. So, I get mad and think about how I am going to give him away. Maybe I could put up an ad, maybe I could give him back to the foster parent he came from. Maybe my parents would take him. But then, at the peak of my frustration about him and what to do with him, he looks up at me with those little kitty eyes and innocent look and GAH I'm back to where I started.

I think about letting him be an indoor/outdoor cat all the time. But I don't know how I would live with myself if something happened to him as a result of me letting him out. He's never been an outdoor cat. But he's still young and would most likely be okay with a collar and loud bell. But he pretty much drives me crazy and I need to figure something out. Being angry at him isn't fair to him.
