Chip Chick
He began looking around and realized all three of their cats were accounted for. But then he realized the meowing was coming from a closet with a closed door.
He opened the closet to find a cat carrier, and inside of it was a cat he didn’t know. He grabbed the cat carrier with the cat, climbed into his car, and directly drove to an animal shelter.
The shelter said his wife hadn’t adopted the cat from them, but they were happy to take the cat. He says it’s alright since the shelter doesn’t put any of their animals down, so the cat is not at risk with them.
He drove back to work and didn’t confront his wife about the cat she brought home without asking him first.
Later that evening, he expected his wife to address the cat, but she didn’t. It took her another whole day for her to confess.
“She asked me if I had taken the cat to the shelter, and I told her I did,” he said. “She started crying and told me that she was just holding it for someone else because she saw it on a Facebook group, and she wanted to help.”
“She said she never had any intention of keeping it and that she already had a home lined up for it, and now she has to call them and tell them what I did. I asked her why she would try to hide the cat from me if that was what she was planning.”
“I told her that was something that we could have discussed together instead of her going behind my back and trying to sneak around. She told me she was going to bring it to our vet before bringing it to the new family, and it was only going to be in our house for one night.”
His wife is furious with him for taking the cat to the shelter after he discovered the stowaway, but he doesn’t think she’s allowed to be angry with him.
He only followed through on the promise he made to her when she adopted that other cat without asking him a couple of months ago.
His wife tried to be deceitful, and he truly believes she wanted this cat for herself and made up a story about the family wanting the cat.
