I always have. I remember working J. for months after we got married in order to get our first kitty &#8211; I wore him down and he finally gave in. And I knew when we talked about getting a &#8220;friend&#8221; for Tiger and a kitty for Addie that I would be the one to really take care of the cats. And I&#8217;m totally okay with that. And Lily, on her own, is a very sweet kitty.<\/p>\n<p>But&#8230;she has got to go.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously. I think we might need to let Lily go to a family where she can be fully appreciated. Where she won&#8217;t stress Tiger out so much. Where she won&#8217;t try to become the alpha cat and pee on everything. Where her owner won&#8217;t look at her and wonder what frustrating feat she will be performing today.<\/p>\n<p>And then I look at her sweet face. And I feel so badly.<\/p>\n<p>But really?
