A cat, a marriage, and relationships

A friend of mine lost her roommate's cat a few years ago. Her roommate was out of town, and my friend was caring for the animal. The cat was allowed out for a bit in the evenings, behind their complex. One night, my friend forgot to let him back in. In the morning, he didn't respond to her calls, so she called me. I suggested she look carefully in the backyard and the surrounding yards.
