Husband left the house last night…

Guys I am going through it emotionally. My husband left the house last night and I am in shambles. I know our relationship wasn’t good with their being a lot of emotional abuse and some situations almost getting physical but I love him. Everyone tells me I shouldn’t feel bad for him but I can’t help it because I know he needs mental help. He left his cat with me that he’s had for 10 years and I can feel that the cat knows he’s gone. Last night he was saying that he was never going to come back for the rest of his things and cat but I know how much he really loves his cat. I don’t want to him away from his owner. He was sitting on the bed, meowing at where the tv usually is and then he went to the floor where all the clutter my husband made while he was taking his things. He meowed at me and he looks sad. It makes me cry even more… I wonder if my husband said anything to him while he was moving his stuff.
