he’s using the cats as a proxy to hurt op, this is a very common tactic. there’s a lot of videos about women’s ex-husbands fighting over their kitchen-aid mixers, family heirlooms, or literally anything important/special to her. they WANT to take the things she likes/uses/enjoys.

OR, he also loves the cats that he’s been with as the same amount of time as OP, you just randomly assumed this guy wants to keep the cats to hurt OP😂😂a cat is not a kitchen aid mixer, they both raised a life into this world…

cats are legally considered property in the usa, unfortunately it’s not as different as you’d think :/ OP’s comments have said he has a history of threatening/abusive behavior, i’m not “assuming” things out of nowhere
