I sympathise with Lily Allen on untenable pets – I love my cats but I don’t see how I can keep them | Michele Theil

My sympathy for Allen also stems from the fact that I am toying with the decision to rehome my two cats. I grew up with pets and love animals, but my now ex-boyfriend and I didn’t have any – for a while. Then in January 2023, he came home one day with a kitten he had rescued from a friend of a friend. And six months later, he turned up again with another kitten, claiming that our cat was lonely and needed company. Suddenly, we had two cats.
