Thanks to all who voted in the first scenario. By one vote, we would keep the cat and put it down after three years.

But this poll is a much more likely scenario. What would you do?

Left out the third option. Kill it in the kitchen...

Ok, perhaps that could offend someone's sensibilities.. Personally, I have nothing against eating cat. But really, there is a tertium quid: Perhaps you could let the cat go in a large university. There is plenty of space to poop and the kids leave plenty of food lying around.

Doesn't take much to offend anyone on this board lately...

Everyone has taken their kill joy pills.

Before anyone goes... "ARGGHH KILL THE CAT! HOW COULD YOU... BLAH BLAH BLAH."

It... is... a... laugh...

Try it sometime.

Other possible solutions:

1. Delay your flight.

2. Take the cat with you.

3. Take him or her to a shelter as a last resort, where there's at least a chance of adoption.

How about leave it in the apartment as a kind of housewarming gift to the next employee?

If you do that in March, well, you'd better not want to come back to the villa, cause one or more of us will kill you.

Plenty of food for her in the meantime, plus a nice big bow on her head (unless she rips it off), with the satisfaction of people getting riled up by taking my comments way too seriously...why on earth would I want to come back?

If you love the cat it will only cost about $200 to take it home (as long as you have the veterinary paperwork).

If you don't love the cat, go to the roof of the nearest highrise, punt it, and drink yourself silly out of guilt.

Hello... not everyone lives in the US of A where rabies hangs out... That $200 might get you the first week of quarantine in the UK. Rolling Eyes

Life outside of the US? I don't think so. Neutral
