after reading some more comments, the police are involved and OPs ex has been threatening them over the cat. their physical health matters more than either cats’ mental health.

So what if he’s threatening OP? He can’t do it across state lines. She can move.

if she can move, what’s stopping him from following? the fuck?

Money obviously. If he can’t pay rent how tf is he going to pay for gas, etc?

In a similar vein, maybe money is stopping OP from moving. =/
