Cats are cats. It could have been mom's china, or the automatic coffeemaker, or who-knows what else that the cat knocked over. I deal with cats knocking stuff over all the time. I love my cats, but hate that they will find a way to destroy things no matter what. Locking them out of my rooms and making sure the Ts are elsewhere has been my only recourse.
It sounds as if this is just the last straw. I understand that completely.
I have friends where the hubby is terribly allergic to cats. They sacrificed a bedroom in their house for the cats. Not saying that that is THE solution, but I know it has worked for some people.
However, your house, your rules, and if you made an exception to the rules for the cat, and the destruction and bargaining has reached an end, it might be time to step back and rethink things.
Relationships are hard - they are a delicate balance!
Good luck in whichever direction you decide to go.
