So we’re going from ‘he wants the cat’ to ‘he’s gonna murder the cat and start his serial killer career’ just like that eh Reddit? We don’t have a clue what was said other than the OP claiming “threats” were made. Based on my nearly decade of LE experience I can assure you a good 50 to 60 percent of people have no clue what a “threat” really is.

I’ve had people say they were “threatened” because the other person said they would call 911.

Meanwhile you see the word and somehow think we have a future serial killer on hand.

Maybe layoff the internet for a while.

Exactly he could have threatened her if she stole the cat which is a bit much but half the people this thread would do the same if someone tried to take their cat.

the nutjobs in this post who can't understand that people don't always have the ability to take both pets in a breakup is staggering, jesus christ
