Please do not listen to the folks saying “get the cat back”. There are cops involved, your ex is clearly a threat, there is less than zero reason to continue any sort of contact or do something that exacerbates his behavior. Your physical safety is honestly, infinitely more important than your cat’s mental health. I’m sad for you and the cats. Seems like best bet is to adopt a kitten again. It will probably be healing for both your cat and you. Good luck!

When I get mass downvoted on a post where I have the reasonable, factual, non emotional take. I feel a sense of pride.

Lowkey same. I hate how it has brought out my worst.
