thank you, what a cute icon. I'm sorry, my post sounded harsh and unclear. I'm actually just more distanced emotionally in my own mind, but we still get along and see each other now and then, a little less than before (I can't stand her redneck boyfriend anyway, so sexist, racist, homophobic, you name it) but I haven't voiced why. I have pointed out to her the danger of him going outside, especiallys ince they live in the country and see racoons and coyotes around, as well as other cats. she just says, oh claws couldn't ptotect him from a racoon or coyote, and he's such a big cat (a bobtail) he acn protect himself from other cats. obviously she's got some cognitive dissonance going on. I know of cats that have protected themselves from racoons, but without claws he doesn't stand a chance. that's one reason I don't visit as much, I'm very fond of him and don't want to get too attached.
