Hi Teresa i had a lady who had a cat off me, she seemed very nice when i first met her, the flat was quite nice and i thought it was OK to let her have a indoor cat, Then in the evenings she started ringing me saying the cat had a bad leg and was walking funny. I went around the next day nothing wrong with puss, Then a evening later phone call again, cats not eating, or its being sick and hiding away, then next night and and so on, I went around to see her without telling her i was coming and there she was sitting on the couch drunk with a bottle of vodka by her side (Puss OK) I told her i was tacking the cat as i thought she was not fit to keep it and walked out with it, The next evening the phone went and she was full of apologies and then told me her husband had left her and she needed the poor cat as she was lonely, i told she could have a cat when she could prove to me she had stopped drinking and that i had informed all the cat charities of her address and that they would not let her have a cat, she she was Quit nice about it but i have never heard from her since. it is a illness i have just lost a nephew over christmas who was a alcoholic you cant help feeling sad for them, i hope it all works out OK for you.
