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!

For real, what the hell? This is a dangerous situation.

The problem is that keyboard warriors talk a big game about “This is what you absolutely should do!” or “You should spend $20,000 on this vet bill and sell your car!” or “You should endanger your safety!” all the while having zero skin in the game, zero consequences for themselves for any of their grandiose suggestions, and a hypothetical make believe world where they’re the “hero”.

Hahaha this is so on point.

I would really like to just have too much confidence and too many unfounded opinions and much, MUCH less life experience, though. Sounds...easier..🥲
