IDK if you remember Struggles, the lookalike cat that belonged to our neighbor and got left behind when he moved...
(lemmy.world)
She's a proper part of the family now! After two failed attempts, she's landed at her forever home. She seems to know it too - she waits at the top of the stairs when it gets to bedtime and screams until we go up and tuck her in with us.
It’s best not to assume the worst of people, life is complicated and filled with nuance.
I recently moved across state lines. Two days before I had to leave, my cat—freaked out by the move and upset at not being let out at night—tore a screen off of a window and got out. We searched up to the moment of having to leave but could not find him and had to leave him behind.
It really upset us, and I still miss him, but there simply wasn’t another choice.
