When they married, for very personal reasons, they decided not to have children. |

Heartbreaking to lose precious pets at any time but when they are substitute children as well it's worse still. My best wishes to your brother and sister in law as they say goodbye to their cats. They should take comfort that they gave those cats the best time they could after their poor start in life and even now have done the best they could for them and will do for the female cat who is ill now. |

Marion, there are often elderly cats needing a final home and also indoor cats which might be easier nearer busy roads and such but I can understand their reservations. There is also the Cinnamon Trust which has members who look after pets while their owners go into hospital for treatment and such so they are sort of foster carers which might be a way to help a cat for a couple of weeks and then hand it back. Knowing there is such an organisation might encourage them to get another cat knowing it would be cared for by the Trust should they be unable to continue the care later on. |

Oh it will be lovely for your brother and sister in law to visit you and have some nicer weather and a change of scene. They don't sound eccentric at all. My bro and s.i.l. never had kids but after they had been married some time and moved to a big house with 5 acres of land, they got a wolfhound, then another and then another as each one died so they were never without one, if you get me. They have had holidays abroad, when they were younger, like Thailand and Mexico and India etc but I don't think they go far now, sometimes to Ireland but they took the dogs, and if they do go away for a while they used to have a lad in the village they live in, move in to look after the house and dogs. Last year they got two new pups as their last older dog died so it's all systems go again, altho my brother is semi retired now and works from home a lot and my s.i.l. works part time in the local doctor's surgery so there is usually someone at home. |
