There can be no question this woman is more than a bit daft.
I loved my kitties, but they never “told me” they didn’t want to move.
At first they moan and complain about the change, but after a while they settle in to the new place. It is what cats do.
When I moved my cat went into my bedroom closet for 3 days. She finally came out and got used to it. It’s a cat. They eat mice and crickets they can pretty much put up with anything.
I think it may be that Susan also wants to stay in the one place that she knows as her home.
I do not think that this is unusual. I think it is the sign of someone who realizes that for the heart their are more important things than the things riches can buy.
They cannot buy the feelings you get from the place you know of as home. It is the place that is full of memories of love ones. Susan is single and the family members that she has been close to she feels close to her in her simple home. It is not like she has married and has a family and maybe grandchildren. It is these memories that mean so very much to her so she wants to hold onto them in the place that both her cat and herself know as that place that the heart knows is home.
