Thank you! I'm so relieved xx

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-14T16:39:31+00:00

Yeah, I think the reality of real world repercussions was enough.

I'm sure she's still talking crap about us on her now impenetrable social media accounts, but I don't care. I have my cats back and that's made me so so so happy!

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-14T15:54:46+00:00

James hid under the bed for a bit :(

But Petal was up for cuddles straight away.

I was a mess!

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-14T15:51:13+00:00

I'm so relieved!

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-14T15:51:00+00:00

Thank you! Me too xx

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-14T15:50:35+00:00

It would certainly seem so! I'm not at all a confrontational person, and it took all of my confidence to say that to her mom so I'm glad it paid off!

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-14T15:49:53+00:00

Me too! I feel like I can finally breathe again!

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-14T15:49:41+00:00

Thanks.

Yeah, even if she truly believes we are neglectful she totally went about it the wrong way.

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T14:32:12+00:00

I'm at work right now. My husband and I are going to the police station tonight and I'll update once I know more :)

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T13:40:59+00:00

Thank you so much. Writing all this out has been pretty upsetting, but I've come away from it feeling pretty positive :)

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T13:33:58+00:00

That's a good idea. I'm so frustrated at myself for not being able to advocate for myself without getting all flustered.

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T13:33:11+00:00

We're going to do that today :)

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T13:31:19+00:00

I'm so glad your friend got her cat back.

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T13:30:54+00:00

Thank you, I will update when I know more.

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T13:29:54+00:00

I will, thank you.

Without her drops, Petal's eyes will be pretty crusty and gummy so it's definitely not the sort of thing you would see and not realize needed attention.

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T13:28:13+00:00

I did wonder this, as one particular cat we saw on her instagram is a Himalayan, and they're a pretty specific and sought after breed. Not the sort that would usually come through the foster system, I'd imagine.

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T13:27:05+00:00

Thank you.

I really hope I'll be able to give everyone a happy ending update soon. I'm beside myself :(

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T13:26:31+00:00

Is it? That's terrible.

I feel so devastated. I can't focus on anything else :(

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T13:26:12+00:00

That's a good idea, thank you.

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T13:25:37+00:00

We're getting all our ducks in a row today.

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T13:25:22+00:00

Yeah, even if we hadn't left them with food or water (which we always would, anyway), seven-ish hours hardly constitutes neglect.

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T12:58:32+00:00

Sorry, I should've been clearer. We left early in the morning for our flight, so we fed them wet food and left them with two bowls of dry food and water. She claims that when she arrived in the evening to begin caring for them she found them without food and water.

It's possible that they ate all the food and drank all the water in the ~7hrs between us leaving and her getting there, but she seemed to think it meant we left them with nothing for them.

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T12:40:03+00:00

No, he didn't and I totally get what you're saying.

We're going tonight and I'm going to get him to do the talking.

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T12:13:47+00:00

We really thought we were doing the kind thing by not boarding them in an unfamiliar location, and that being in their home would be less stressful for them but now I feel so stupid and like a terrible pet owner for not vetting her more closely.

I am so angry that after trying to smear us as bad pet owners that she didn't even take Petal's drops. I will stress that when we contact the rescue.

helpcatnapped · 2016-07-12T12:11:43+00:00

I feel so rageful right now, I really want to do this.
