Her Mother-In-Law Stole Her Cat, So She Called The Police On Her
A 20-year-old woman has a 63-year-old mother-in-law who tends to get really over the top and controlling.
Anything that her 21-year-old partner does, her mother-in-law tries to maintain control over. Her partner really doesn’t see how bad his own mom is, but she’s not fooled.
Additionally, her mother-in-law has kept her partner extremely sheltered from “the real world” and after her partner moved out of the house to go to college a year ago, his mom has gotten even crazier.
Also last year, her partner’s grandma passed away, and they adopted her cat named Noodle.
Not that long ago, she and her partner went on a spring break trip, and after they couldn’t find anyone to watch Noodle, they decided to leave her home alone.
“She had bird videos, more than enough food, and more than enough water,” she explained. “She has been left alone for a lot longer by my partner’s parents and aunt, who she had lived with before.”
“So, the day that we were supposed to come home from our trip, we had our car broken into and they stole my partner’s camera and my house and car keys as well as my ID.”
“We then spent the day trying to find our belongings and the entire time, his mom (my MIL) was calling us and complaining about us leaving the cat.”
She did reach out to her mother-in-law to inform her about the theft and break-in, but her mother-in-law wasn’t concerned at all.

Her mother-in-law was just obsessed with her and her partner returning home to Noodle as fast as they could.
Her mother-in-law kept calling, and she kept getting angrier. Then, her mother-in-law accused her of being “cruel” for leaving Noodle home alone for 3 whole days.
At this point, she was upset that her mother-in-law didn’t care about the fact that she and her partner had items stolen and were trying to deal with that.
“She hung up on us after saying she was gonna come to get the cat,” she said. “I texted her and said that if I got back home and my cat was gone, I’d call the cops. I didn’t get a reply.”
“Well, we got home, and lo and behold, our cat is gone as well as her food bowl and all the things we bought her.”
She quickly called up her mother-in-law to see if Noodle was with her, and even though her mother-in-law refused to give her a reply, she could hear Noodle in the background making noise.
She made it clear to her mother-in-law that if she did not get Noodle returned ASAP, she was going to follow through with her threat of calling the police.
Her mother-in-law hung up on her again.
“Well, I called the cops, they went to her house and got my cat back, as well as charged her with theft,” she continued.
“I’m getting messages from his family saying I took it too far and that I should have just gone and gotten the cat, but I know this woman. She would have called the cops on me if I had gone to her house.”
She’s left wondering if she’s a jerk now since her mother-in-law definitely is looking at spending time in jail if she decides to press charges against her.
