I know you've gotten used to his antics.

but it seems really hard for you too, and in fact, we're pretty worried about how he's affecting your sleep, your mood, the general vibe around the house.

There's obviously something very wrong with this kitty, and he's probably in a lot of distress.

Now, we know you don't want to take him to the vet because you're worried about what they might say, but we looked into this, and aggression in cats can come from a lot of things.

Pain, illness,

Fear, territorial stress, cognitive decline, behavioral disorders.

If we take them to the vet, they'll take a detailed history.

They'll look for medical causes.

They'll try to figure out what's causing it.

They'll probably recommend medication or environmental changes, or they'll refer us to a veterinary behaviorist, which is a thing that I'm surprised exists, but apparently does.

They're not going to force us to put Terrence down.

So we want to bring him to the vet, and we need you to work with us on this.

This is absolutely the right thing to do for him, for you, for us, for everyone.

I love that great script.

I hope she listens.

It's hard to ignore that, right?

It is hard, yeah.

But look, the more family members you can get together to have this chat, I think, the better.

Your mother-in-law needs to see that everyone in the family feels this is a problem.

She can't keep sweeping this under the rug
