We live with FMIL. And my cats got out the other day due to being in heat as I was taking the trash out. They’re sisters, and their brother missed them dearly. But they liked the outdoors. So coming back inside wasn’t their cup of tea until the storms and cold came through is my guess.
My FMIL stressed everyday to get them back in, demanded I search, all the time for them. I’m 24 weeks pregnant by the way. That’s very hard for me. She said she didn’t want them to have kittens.
They finally come back in, and now she’s refusing to get them fixed because since they’re back inside she thinks they’re magically not pregnant or not a chance they are.
They were outside for a week both in their heats.
But my question is why is she refusing to pay for it now? She says she doesn’t want kittens but there’s still a chance. She was definitely manipulating and making false promises of how to get the money to pay for them. I already planned to take half now, half later. Since she verbally agreed to paying for the spays.
I handle my FMIL bank accounts, I pay bills for her since she won’t. She let us stay in the dark without water one year so she could go to Gatlinburg if that tells you anything. But I’m always very responsible in regard to her money.
I just want to understand why she nagged and stressed me for a week. To then lie and try to back out of the deal.
What’s scary is I made this prediction already. I had a random thought if I brought them in she was going to back out. But I don’t know how I knew and things like this have been happening a lot lately.
Can anyone help me understand?

If you live near an urban area, they likely have free spay/neuter programs. You need to get your cats fixed immediately, because they could already be pregnant and they’ll take care of that.
I’m sorry your MIL lied to you, but I’m honestly more worried about the cats reading this post. If you pay all her bills and she has the money…can you just take them?
