/an/ would it be cruel to hide a cat for 2 months in a room? Why I am asking is a long story. But I wondering if it would be plausible.

Pic not one bit related.

That depends on if you are going to 1) be feeding it and 2) have a litterbox for it.

If your answer to 1) is no, then it would be cruel to the cat. If your answer to 2) is no, then it would be cruel to you.

are you the same person who asked this in a forum, complaining that your apartment manager wouldn't allow pets out of cages?

Yes, the cat will have food, water, a litterbox and things to scratch. He won't be cooped up in a kennel. And will have free run of the house when no one is in it.

No. To make a long story very short, my boyfriend is going to be homeless soon and needs a place for his cat to stay for a few months until he sorts his shit out. I'm 18 and thus still live with my parents who are vehement cat haters but my boyfriend would be absolutely devastated to give this cat up (and the cat would be pretty depressed too; they're inseparable - not to mention the cat is terror personified to everyone but him and me).

So you're going to hide a cat in your room, in the same house as your parents and think they won't notice over two months? I give it two days before the cat starts meowing and clawing at the door when you're not home and they are.

is the only real problem with your plan. If you think you can keep the cat a secret for 2 months, it will be fine. It may not like it much, but it's not exactly animal abuse either, especially if that saves it's life.

Couldn't he give it to a no-kill shelter temporarily so that he could get it back after X time?


Also, you'd really only have to do it for two weeks, until it knew where it "lived". I had a cat for a long time that no one would have known about because I'd just keep my window open 24/7 and he'd come in, eat, sleep, go out for 2-3 hours, sleep, out, sleep, eat, out, sleep, and so on.
