Is your mother ok being alone these days? Does she not need help with funeral? Call your sister. How about your nephews? Your husband is an adult. He could worry about cats on his own.
Was he really upset about something else? Losing his father too? But he just made it about cats?
Grief is a lonely feeling. No one can truly share it no matter how much people support each other.

Grief is a very lonely feeling. You nailed it with what you said.
And yes, it's possible he was also upset about his own father, who passed away exactly one year ago on the same exact day as my father. I wish if that were true, that he would just come out with it and tell me so instead of making it about the cat.
My mother is coping, but she said she will be very lonely. She's trying to come up with different things that will help, ie, joining clubs, etc. She does have a lot of arrangements to make, and I've offered my help. The service won't be until Sept.
