We have cried for 4 days..... and our hearts are broken. It is one thing to try to train a cat and if it we have slips, no big deal. If our cat "slips" our 4 pound helpless yorkie will be killed. No one saw what we did and saw the poor shape that Joey was in.... I completely understand everyone has an opinion and I truly appreciate each one. I just want everyone to be clear that this has been a horrible incident and a horrible decision to have to make. I hope none of you are faced with that.
Thanks for the support and your advice & opinions. I really appreciate all of it. I hope my next post is much less intense. Like maybe some grooming questions. . . I have ordered several brushes and combs already . . .  Thanks again. |
The bottom line is , worse case scenerio, cat sees a trainer, gets "trained", you are gone one day, pup gets loose again and prey drive in cat kicks in and you come home to find your Yorkie dead. I can appreciate people having love for a cat (not a condition I am afflicted with since I was attacked by a rabid cat when I was 2 years old!) but you have no reason to feel guilty about your decision. One of them has to go, or they must not ever be allowed to cross paths again. You love your cat, but you have to do what is best for both animals....you have found a wonderful home for the cat.....and your Yorkie will be safe. There are some life lessons we do not get a do over....the first encounter/event is a tragic one. You do not want to risk your Yorkie again....you are fortunate you didnt loose your Yorkie....dont tempt fate again now that you are fully aware of the issue at hand.....I think they call that little game "Russian Roulette".
