Echos Myron, Thank you for your kind and thoughtful reply, you made me feel better. Yes, I agree with you, this probably means T loves it. Macy referred to the cat as "our cat", so this means they do live together. Thank you for your support and help!

Guilloche, You are so smart and good at analyzing the situation. Your post made me feel a lot better. Your description makes a lot of sense, you are the best. I really appreciate you for helping me think it through.

Austen Fan, Thank you, I agree, your concern is very valid, and T would normally never do this, she always has my best interests in mind, but this situation worked out well in this case, so it is fine.
