We’ve all heard of breakups and makeups, but have you ever heard of a cat causing a stir between exes? This is a tale of a woman, her ex-boyfriend, his current girlfriend, and a beloved cat named Pumpkin. Our storyteller was in a relationship with ‘Paul’ for three years, and they parted ways five years ago. They’ve maintained minimal contact, mostly through social media. But when Pumpkin, the cat they both adored, passed away, she felt the need to inform Paul. Little did she know, this simple act of kindness would kickstart a drama she never saw coming.
