I'm so grateful to the cat that I found, primarily because I learned that I don't actually like cats as a pet. She was so sweet and loved everyone, but I've found that every cat that I pet feels to me like a thawed chicken carcass with the world's most delicate fur. I know that I'm wrong, but it's absolutely a texture thing for me.

Also, she hated any other pets, and we have two dogs. Fortunately, some other family looking to adopt a cat actually wanted her, so I'm glad to know that she's in the perfect home, and that this family is unlikely to abandon her like her first family did.

So glad that she found the right family. I know that rehoming gets a bad rap online but I don’t see a problem with it if you take the time to find a good situation for your pet. You can’t plan for everything and sometimes personalities are not compatible for whatever reason. It’s about what’s best for them.
