I remember when I was living alone I wanted to have another living thing in my apartment that wasn’t in my refrigerator to give me a reason to go home.  So I got a cat, named it Polly and kept it around until it started to stalk my newly walking child and attacking them.  I found a new home for Polly after it started to do that.  I guess it was too territorial and the baby was infringing.  I should have listen when the Vet I used called Polly the cat from hell.
