I don't see anywhere that OP claimed to be the one to kill the cat. WTF are you talking about?

They left the cat alone for 3 days while helping her husbands mum. Who looked after the cat during that time? Why wasn't the cat inside?

Cats can look after themselves!

To an extent, maybe.

But they're living creatures dependent only on us to survive. We are our pets' entire worlds, and when you disappear like that - especially for three days - the cat is going to get into trouble.

Cats have the mental capacity of a five year old. They learn to do things from habit. Especially domesticated cats that never learn to take care of themselves

Then how is it the neighbors fault that the cat died? OP being a shitty pet owner is what killed her cat.

I didn’t say she claimed to kill her cat, I said she’s the one who killed her cat through negligence and neglect

Leaving antifreeze out is also negligent.

Purposefully psychologically torturing someone so much they have a breakdown is worse though.

They left the cat without food or water for 3 days while they travelled interstate. If the cat wasn't gonna die from drinking coolant (they already knew about and also the only hydration it had access to??), it wouldn't be a big reach to expect it'd die from some other neglect-based cause of death. OP revealed herself 💀
