When you adopt a pet, you sign a moral agreement to love it unconditionally and take care of it to the very best of your capability and ability. It's no small thing, taking on responsibility for another living thing. That's why it's something that is best not done lightly, lest you find yourself unprepared and incapable of taking care of the said living thing. It sometimes happens despite careful research and preparation, circumstances change, and we find ourselves needing desperately to re-home our furry friends. It's a decision that usually takes careful, often painful thought.

Or, you know, just sell your wife's cat without telling her after strong-arming her into agreeing to find it a new home. That works too.

That's the path this cosmically colossal a-hole took when he decided to sell his wife's cat out from under her nose. It's a relief that the update to the post makes it seem like they might have found the cat; otherwise, it wouldn't be out of the question to suspect that he'd killed it.
