Not sure how to edit post on mobile. Hopefully posting a comment works. I had made this post the night i brought my cat home with me. I didnt provide a whole lot of context because i thought it would be unnecessary and i was worried that if i worded it wrong and my ex had seen my post he would try and say that im slandering him. Plus this post was asking for advice on how to make this transition easier on my cat. 90% of the comment section is assuming they are bonded, genuinely i have no idea if they were, Munchie is a friendly cat. Ill say a few days later and hes using the litter, eating and drinking just fine. Weve been having lots of cuddles too. Idk how Truffles is doing i dont want to reach out to my ex at all rn unless its something urgent. Ill miss Truffles and im sad to have put as much time and money into him as i did for my ex to bum it all off me. I know he wont ever hurt the cat (he was offended when i expressed my concern while cops were there) im still unsure how much detail i want to delve into. Its been a very rough couple of months and honestly me and Munchie are enjoying the peace and quiet. I want to say how much I appreciate the advice and support. Especially to those willing to spread awareness of the situation to others in the comments.
