evacuation regrets:
I'm sorry I wasn't more receptive to you when we first met, but I've never been much of a cat person. I'm sorry we hauled you down from New York, threw you into a house with dogs and things that weren't yours. But most of all, I'm sorry we left you behind. I'm sorry we didn't think longer-term, sorry we didn't consider the possibility that it might be a very long time before we could come back for you. I'm sorry that you're uncomfortable now and that you probably won't survive...
