“Shocking Confession: Op-Ed Writer’s Bizarre Admission of Animal Cruelty Sparks Outrage and Raises Alarming Questions”
The writer further recalled: “She sh*t and urinated on the floor in protest of her overflowing litter box.
“A few weeks in, I abandoned the effort of wet food altogether and placed a trough of dry food in a corner; Lucky binged and gained a statistically significant amount of weight, which made it impossible for her to self-groom, leaving her greasy and coated in dandruff.”
The mom went on to address her cat’s health declining, losing a tooth, and being forced to drink water from the toilet after forgetting to fill her furry friend’s water bowl.

“If I treated a human the way I treated my cat, I would be in prison for years,” she wrote before sharing that Lucky went on to develop depression.
The author added: “By the time the baby was two months old, I hated Lucky so much I began to leave our windows open in the vague hope that she would take the initiative and leap out of one.”
One night while trying to engage her baby, who had at this point turned three months old, with a toy, Lucky responded to the sound, mistaking it for her usual dinner signal.
The cat and the baby briefly stared at each other, triggering a fleeting sense of affection in the writer, which was followed by irritation as she realized Lucky needed care.
“I did not have enough love for the cat, and I was irritable,” she wrote. “But that didn’t mean one followed from the other.”

The writer concluded: “I haven’t fallen back in love with Lucky, but it could still happen. I’ll shut the windows until then.”
