“Shocking Confession: Op-Ed Writer’s Bizarre Admission of Animal Cruelty Sparks Outrage and Raises Alarming Questions”
Despite Lucky’s aloof nature, the author revealed: “It didn’t bother me when Lucky shredded the furniture to smithereens since it was all secondhand Ikea stuff anyway — a mere step up from garbage.
“She slept on my pillow every night. I combed her for hours every week with a miniature kitty comb.
“I purchased bottles of sustainably harvested fish oil because it promised to prevent heart disease or something.”

Nevertheless, upon turning 30 and getting married, “Lucky took an active and territorial dislike to my husband,” the now-infamous writer shared.
She continued: “A few years later, we had a baby, and my postpartum loathing of Lucky made me wonder whether I might be a late-onset psychopath.
“In the months following the baby’s arrival, any redirection of attention sparked fury.
“If Lucky nuzzled me as I nursed in bed, I shoved her away. When she barfed on a nursing bra, I threw the soiled garment at her head (and missed).
“When she threaded through my legs in figure eights during diaper changes, I could barely suppress the urge to — not kick but firmly scoot her away with a foot. (I didn’t, I didn’t.).”

The article’s passage, which has since left many readers unsettled, seemingly described an alarming case of animal neglect.
“Basic needs went unmet,” the woman wrote. “I often forgot to feed Lucky, which caused her to eat houseplants in desperation and puke them up.”
