Actually they were/are part my cats also.
Here's the short story:
My husband and I separated and heading towards d-i-v-o-r-c-e. He is living in THE HOUSE. I am in an apartment with my dog and one cat. He was going to keep the other two cats (Wylie & Rudy). They are buds and we did not want to separate them, plus he loved them alot, so I agreed.
Two weeks ago he was out of town on vacation (with his friends he told me) for 4 & 1/2 days. I went to the house to check on the cats and spend some time with them.
First, I found evidence of a woman/girlfriend, and worst of all, the cats were locked in an empty room with their food, water and litterbox. No toys, no beds or anything. The water was close to being gone, the catbox was filthy, but plenty of food.
I called him on vacation and confronted him about it. Turns out, they have spent alot of time in the room because his new girlfriend (almost 2 months) is "allergic" to cats. I guess she is over often and spends the night.
Now, I didn't know about her (even though he has introduced her to mutual friends , etc.), so that was the first shock to find out THAT way.
But the cats........................I could not believe he would do something like that. Especially after only knowing someone a couple of months.
I still had a key, so I went over there when I knew he was at work, took both cats. I gave Rudy to a good friend of mine who has always loved him and wanted him. He has a very good home is very happy with her and her husband.
I brought Wylie (my shy boy) home with me and he is adjusting well. And I'm keeping him, even though I'm over my limit on animals for my apartment.
He's mad at me about it, but I know I did the right thing.
What do you all think? What would you have done?
