Cat found back in the apartment after wife thought it got away when husband left the door open, blamed her for not noticing, and refused to go back and help when she's locked out in freezing temperatures.

Accountability has left the building. Luckily, the cat didn't.

Look, we're not claiming to be relationship advisers. We're mere cat lovers with a platform. But we're human, we know what it is to be in a relationship, and what it is to raise a cat together (because, of course, our partners have to be cat people too). First of all, when you raise a cat, together with someone or alone, it means you have full responsibility for this creature that entered your life. Their safety is in your hands, depends on your deeds, and it's your job to make sure what you do is aimed towards your cat's wellbeing. This memo seems to have missed the husband in this case, since he won't admit, under any circumstances, that his actions might have had grave consequences.

These consequences in question are leaving a cat outside in freezing temperatures. And not just any cat - his own cat. The one whose safety is in his hands. But will he be shocked by the accidental near-consequences for his own actions? Nope. He will go back home and blame his wife for not noticing his misdeeds sooner, obviously. We don't get it - as cat pawrents ourselves, the mere thought of our cat freezing outside because we accidentally left the door open leaves us in horror.

Besides the thoughts about the cat, we also feel for the wife who had to suffer a husband blaming her for it. While she's stuck outside the apartment in the cold. Without even mentioning the childish behavior he continued on with, we would be horrified. We were really not kidding when we said that the person we're in a relationship with must be a cat person too - it means feeling responsible for the cat as we do. If that can't happen - the relationship can't happen. So no, we're not relationship advisers, but this is what we would do.

We would also be panicking! The thought of our cats being stuck outside during winter is a scary thought. They are house cats, they don't know what to do, where to turn, and they'd probably be panicking way more than the human looking for them. Poor things.
Luckily for this couple's cat, they were in the apartment all along. But we understand why the wife would react this way - we would, too. What we don't understand is how the husband doesn't. Sure, not all people are cat people - but this cat is already theirs, the cat's parents are them… husband included. Doesn't he care about the potential consequences of his own actions?
