You need to do something to help your neighbor if this is real because this is 100% your fuckup, all of it. You let your cat outside, despite knowing the neighbor leaves out antifreeze, and the inevitable happened. Cats are not outside pets (for a variety of reasons you can easily google.) Please learn from this mistake with the new cat.

Those can be mutually exclusive though. You could have every good intention in the world to respect one’s boundaries, but if you forget those boundaries through no fault of your own, how can one continue to respect them?

You can’t blame someone for forgetting. You can’t expect someone to journal every night and affirmations every morning in order to remember. It’s not their fault.

Sorry but I have a bad memory as well and I empathize. I sometimes forget crazily important shit that you’d think one wouldn’t ever forget, but I do and it ends up embarrassing me, so I feel for OP.

Seriously and OP is disregarding her own culpability in these series of events. If you know you had to tell your neighbors 4 times to put away anti-freeze, then why do you continue to let your cat out unattended? Who knows if this guy had the stuff in his garage and didn't expect someone else's animal to be in there?
