We went to our support group and I tell you it wasn't easy listening to him fear his fears and struggles this past week. He spent way to much time talking about me and what I did to help him. I don't like attention like that. But it's what he needed to talk about.
So anyway we were talking with a few people after the meeting and he gets a text.
He looks at the message and I can see a look on his face
What's wrong is everything ok
Nothing everything is good. Star just wanted us to stop at the store on the way home.
I find this odd because I can't imagine what she would ask him to buy. We have everything at home.
We get to the store and he says I'll just run in and get what she needs, stay in the car so it doesn't get hot.
Well that's weird. He's not in there long and he puts whatever he brought in the trunk. He's hiding something from me I think.
Ok I'm worried now what is going on.
You'll find out when we get home.
I don't like surprises
I know
We get home and before we go in he shows me Star's text.
Omg I don't know what to do, the boys where playing in the game room and they found him outside in the yard. He was hot and alone and they opened the door and he got in and I don't have the heart to put it back outside. Can you get some food for him. Please don't let him be mad at me or the boys but it's so hot and he was all alone. Please please please don't let him be mad.
This is in my house! A CAT! A CAT in my house.

I understand. I have cats, both inside and outdoor (the outdoor are feral) and I love them, but I also recognize them as destructive disruptors. They sharpen their claws on the furniture, they do jump on countertops, they knock things down. There is a pervasive litterbox odor in my house despite frequent cleaning. Cats are not rule followers. Cats are chaos incarnate. I recognize the challenge this represents for you. This will be extreme therapy! Remember, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! And the story of your mother and the cat and the food--that is beyond awful, but keep reminding yourself, the cat was not the guilty one. I hope your cat has a loud, frequent purr. That is a huge redeeming characteristic. One of our cats has it and the other doesn't.
@Poppies the litter box and the counter are hard for me. I cook and prepare food there and it did jump right up there. Joel graded it for me but still.
I'm sure most people think I'm being silly but I'm not trying to be. Im really not
It's s a skinny little thing but friendly. And Sissy loves it already. So yeah I'm screwed
