Thread: 7 year old needs a Male owner

Hi, I have a 7 year old ex-breeding queen MC that my ex-husband brought home 5 years ago. She is utterly beautiful, very classic MC 'type' (her mother was a Grand Champion), a silver tabby and white. Beautiful temperament, very placid and easy going as a rule. Unfortunately, my ex-husband decided he didn't want to keep her when we split up 3 years ago so she has been living with me. I absolutely adore this cat, but she is really not happy. She goes nuts over any male visitors I have (including the plumber, the gas man etc etc) and then pines when they leave. She has also started stress-weeing. I have taken all the advice her breeders can give, the vets can give and the behaviourist can give, but the upshot of it all is that she is a mans cat. Her stress-weeing and pining totally disappeared when she went to stay with my brother for a fortnight and she as back to her old, happy self.

I have not taken the decision to rehome her lightly and I would really appreciate it if people didn't shout at me about this (as has happened on other cat rehoming forums), if I could work out what to do to make her happy again I would, but the only thing that makes her happy is having a male owner. My ex-husband used to work from home so she had his attention prerrty much 24/7 and my guess is she'd really like that level of attention again. She also doesn't like other cats so ideally would be an only cat. She has never been allowed out and about as she is a little on the dumb side and her road sense is probably completely AWOL.

I can't stress highly enough that she is a gorgeous cat - stunning to look at and with a fabulous personality (when she's happy). She loves playing fetch, and is generally happiest having a man to follow around and help. I would like to find her a home with a male owner, maybe an older gentleman or someone who works from home, someone that can give her the love and attention she deserves. If anyone can help, I am in Plymouth.

Thanks.
