You know I used to be a lot like you.
I would never ignore anyone who needed my help... however I came to realize in some cases, that by putting up with the pain, drama and even the abuse, in the slimmest of hopes that the person would someday become better, that I was in essence, "turning my back" on myself and my own needs and desires.
I guess life and all its issues and problems is like the Kenny Rogers song, "The Gambler" in a way:
"You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run."
In the case of your girlfriend, even if you do resolve this issue with the cat, I am sure your girlfriend with all her problems will create some other major dramas for you in the future. And I suspect at some point, you will reach your fill of all of it.
Anyway... with all that being said, I will step down from my soapbox now as it's your life.
However, if you are trying to find a way for your girlfriend and your cat to get along, perhaps you need to check with a big pet store. It seems like there ought to be some kind of large screened playpen or something that you could put your cats into when your girlfriend is around or in a particular room.
Good Luck to you,
Peppermint Patty
