Story
With a heavy heart I have decided that our cat Opal would be better off in a less chaotic environment in hope that she can find a home that can give her the attention she deserves. She is 5 years old.We have noticed as she has gotten older that she is very on edge and has some behavioral issues. With our 2 young children screaming and running around she always seems on edge. we have her on prescribed medication. She has never showed any aggression to my children at all, but she has scratched my wife and my mother and hisses at both of them quite often. She has also bite both of them before and cant risk it happening anymore. It has resulted in my wife being scared of the cat and people don't want to come to our house as a result of her behavior. She is very affectionate with me (male) and think she would do best in place that is either a single male or older couple that has a quite home and can give her a lot of attention. Whoever want this cat must understand that she has these issues
