Family Demands Rehoming Of Aggressive Rescue Cat After Beloved Pet Goes Missing Following Attack By Feline

When our narrator’s (Original Poster’s) sister brought home a stray kitten, they thought they were saving a life. Little did they know, this tiny fur ball would turn their peaceful home into a battleground of feline fury.

Monkey was basically a skeleton when OP’s sister stumbled on her. In addition to being severely underfed, they were shocked to discover she was also pregnant.

Miraculously, they nursed her back to health, and a month later, Monkey gave birth to a litter of kittens—and that’s when the chaos began.

She turned into a little terror and began attacking their other cats. Their sister shrugged it off because “cats fight all the time." But this was different—there was a full-on war going on in their home: Monkey vs. every other cat.

The real trouble started when Monkey went after Chester—the family darling and OP’s step-grandma's cat. Chester was the epitome of gentleness; a grasshopper once scared him half to death after it jumped too high. That’s how gentle he was.

That fateful day, Monkey pounced on Chester and chased him up a wall. OP managed to intervene, but Chester was so terrified that he hid under the table and refused to come out till Monkey was sent away.

Days later, there was another attack, and this time, Chester disappeared. The family was furious and demanded that OP’s sister get rid of Monkey. She refused, of course—she’d already become too attached.

Thankfully, after a month of worry, Chester returned—and so did the plea to get rid of Monkey. The way OP saw it, Monkey would thrive better in a one-cat home.

Were they the AH for insisting on rehoming Monkey for Chester’s sake?
