Yes. I would be concerned if he said "I live alone and hate cats, but looking to buy one." but he didn't. He said his family wants one and is willing to take care of it. He's made it clear he isn't going to take responsibility for it and doesn't want it.
I don't agree with it being ok to put down any animal because you're bored with it, but I think it's being wildy presumptuous to think that Sliver is going to do that to his family. Not to mention that while he may have that opinion, he still hasn't put down any cats he owned.
I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and believe that he cares more about his family's happiness than he does about a cat being in the house. He's already shown that by agreeing to get a cat.
All I'm saying is that it's perfectly ok to live in a house with an animal that isn't yours as long as you're not mistreating it, and it has somebody responsible to take care of it.
If he ends up giving it away because it sucks, or his family doesn't want it any more then I'll eat my words.
