I'm gonna play the other side here...

First try to see that the cat is important to her, like your reptiles are too you. She loves one animal, you another. So, if you were on the other end of someone wanting you to get rid of your pets, wouldn't you want to work something out?

Ferel cats are more squirelly than a purebred. Regardless what kind of cat it is, you can't lock it in a single room. It does sound like some play may help him. Or maybe a kitty companion?? Maybe a cat condo with a view out the window or something? I don't think outdoor cat is the answer, they can get in fights, and hurt, and fleas, or hit by a car, worms from eating wild mice and rats... Yuk. My cats don't go outside. You could always call the cat whisperer, Jackson Galaxy, lol. Sorry, we watched the show My Cat From Hell. He always solved the cats problems (at least on tv).

I love my cats, and couldn't imagine getting rid of any of them, even though I have one or two who are trouble. I think maybe you guys should sit down and try to figure out something that will work. Maybe she can try to play more with the cat, maybe you can cat proof the house. My anoles tank is secured to the table, because one of my cats thinks they are there for her personal entertainment. She sits on top and watches them. (I think its really the crickets that get her attention though). Once in the beginning, they knocked it over, then I double back taped it to the table. Now the tank won't budge, so I don't worry.

Good luck working something out. I hope the kitty doesn't have to go.
