This is not just about, you know, making sure your kids don't get little boo-boos and your cats don't get into hissing matches.

This is about making sure Terrence doesn't swipe at your kid and blind your child.

Or that your mother-in-law can get a good night's sleep.

That your cats don't get disemboweled in the yard or get bitten a bunch in their face.

And that Terrence himself doesn't have to suffer with whatever diseases or disorders that he has that are going untreated right now, which is actually kind of torturous.

Totally.

And if they get this cat treated, her mother-in-law might get to enjoy a whole new cat, potentially.

Terrence 2.0, you know, very much not euthanized and also maybe not a demon anymore.

Totally.

I would mention that.

I would give her some hope for that timeline.

As for setting an ultimatum, that's really up to you.

I can't tell you how much you should be willing to put up with.

I can tell you that I would not move my family and pets into a house with a cat who might seriously injure one of us, especially my child, unless the cat was maybe sequestered to one room and the door was always closed and we never had to interact with it, which to me is not humane for the cat.

If you're asking, should we set an ultimatum to lean on my mother-in-law and get her to do what we want, I would say, yeah, that could be a good tactic.

But if you do, you really have to be prepared to stand by it because she might dig her heels in or kick the can down the road or say like, I'll do it after you move in.

I just need some time.

And if you're not prepared to say, okay, then we are not moving in right now and you make other plans, she's never going to take Terrence to the vet.

And honestly, that ultimatum is probably the best dark Jordan pitch I have.

The other ones go to a very dark place that I would never actually endorse.
