I was going to flame the post about it being "just a rock", then I saw that the pet was a cat....So it was just a rock.
J/K
I had a ferret that was like my child. He would sit in my lap when I was studying, he would fall asleep on my chest when I napped. He was the best little guy you could ask for. He died of old age. That was 8+ years ago. I still have his tag clipped to my key chain. I would be heartbroken to lose it.
I understand your attachment to that rock. If your X took it, it will result in alot of bad karma. I hope that the fact that it is a memorial to a cat will only increase the bad karma.
I hope you find it.

I doubt I will ever see it again but I plan to get some other kind of a memorial momento....something I will keep inside. I hope every time he looks at it, it reminds him of what a shitheal he's been....he deserves that. And ferrets are cute, but aren't they distantly related to cats? (They sure have alot of similarities.)

I don't know how I missed this thread until now, Kit. It's not just a rock. I do like the way JimB tried to put a new perspective on it because in a lot of ways he's right, it's the memory of your kitty that lives on, but that rock was symbolic. Your ex sounds like a puke. That's the perfect passive / aggressive asshole thing for someone like that to do. No guts, just knows where to hit you where it hurts. If he went to that much trouble, hon, he's hurting more. Some of us become more attached to our animals than some others just like some like vegetables or parties or what have you more than others. Your deep connection is something your ex knew about you and went the chicken's way straight to the heart. Have another made and let it represent your furry baby and being free of that puke. I have a rock engraved with 'forever' outside my front door, but no one steals that when I know the family as it was when it was given to me is long gone. I know animals can't replace another just like people that pass cannot be replaced, but have you thought about another pet to love too? My little darling, Angel (the cat) bit the neighbor's dog on the butt a couple of weeks ago and was in quarantine for 12 days. We just can't convince him he's a cat with no claws. You'd think we lost one of the family. They are part of the family. I know it was a rock, but it's not just the symbolism, but the fact someone you once loved knew how much it meant to you and purposely hurt you as deeply as they knew how. That's the issue here. PM me. Crushy

When I got home today, the eight-year old from across the street was waiting by my fence.....I'd told him about the memorial rock and asked him to keep an eye out for it for me....because he is often playing (with his cat) in the green space next to my unit. He tells me that he found the rock lying next to my unit when he was walking home and so he was waiting for me to get home, to give it to me. Too weird. I know it wasn't beside my unit last night because I was out there (we all got evacuated from the nighbourhood because some workmen hit a gasline, and that's where the main gas pipes are). Guess I will never know for sure if my ex took it (and then returned it) or if this kid took it and then decided to return it after I talked to him and he realized it wasn't just a garden ornament....something still makes me think it was my ex because of the timing of it, and this day in September. I am keeping it inside my house now as a paperweight. Isn't that just too weird? I am very happy to have it back...I totally didn't expect to ever see it again.
