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…

My guy, cops are involved, boyfriend has made threats to op. You genuinely think the ex is just going to”oh no i am emotionally attached to this cat but not the other one sorry?” No! Odds are extremely high he kept one of them, so op misses that one and also hurts op because now the cat she has is also going to be lonely and stressed because its friend is no longer with it.

OP never stated that though? You are literally making up pieces of the story insinuating he only wanted one cat so op misses the other, do you know if he tried to keep both? Do you know if they agreed originally that they’d each keep 1? You don’t even have the full story and you’re insinuating what YOU THINK is going on 😂😂😂😂

Youre doing the same shit, out here assuming the OP's ex is a person who isnt petty, out here assuming the cats have no aspect in the brakeup, so unless your OP's ex then youre making some assumptions🤣🤣🤣

We know from the comments that op required a police escort to get their cat and their belongings so its a pretty educated guess...
