Narc mom might be molesting my cat...

[Rant/Vent, Advice OK]

Yup, I cant shake off this feeling that the demon who calls herself my mother might be touching my male cat inappropriately.

For context there was a day she said "we know how we play with each other" with this kind of sly smile on her face and I swear something about that rubbed me off in a very wrong way. I probed further and asked what she meant by that and she basically just repeated the same thing.

I say this as a daughter who is slowly waking up to the fact that I think she actually molested me as a child too and made me do things to her (i have a memory of someone's vagina being in my face and i think it was hers).

Coupled with the fact that I know how she treated me when I was once the most vulnerable target in the home and couldnt fight back. Now its just me her and the cat, which means my cat is now the most vulnerable creature in the house. He cant report her, he cant complain, but I watch how he reacts to her. She acts nice when I'm around but something about it feels performative because she has treated me that way too.

When people are around she's nice and warm but when they leave the mask falls off. So it only makes sense that she's repeating the same thing with my cat. Nice to him when im there, buying him treats (or now what I think are bribes), but mean when im gone...

he runs away from her most of the time and some days when I get back home from an outing or whatever, I notice that he's unusually jumpy/skittish in a way he wasn't before i left the house. And it seems to be worsening. Today he was on my bed and I simply moved my arm a little and he jumped. He literally jumped up into the air and down.

I've decided to start locking him in my room whenever I go out. I dont want him to feel cooped up but I just want to protect him from her and that seems like the only solution until I move out. The only time I'll let him out is if its supervised with me.

Has anyone dealt with anything like this? Because these people are evil and I feel like im going crazy. I just want to protect my little angel baby from this monster.
