AIO because my wife took our cats when moving

Soooo, my wife is moving because of us not working out anymore. A lot of abuse from her like, shit gets deep. I believe she is narcissistic but im not a psychologist so what do I know? When she was moving we discussed everything, we didnt get divorce yet. We still thought we might work things out but not anymore. We discussed the cats and agreed that they should stay with me since I have been taking care of them for years by my self, like she has done not one single chore for these cats. Im sure if she keeps them their litter box wont be cleaned for weeks at a time. She never takes care of them and they have medical issues right now and require special care. I am totally losing my mind, she just took them with her when moving taking her things out of the house. She said don't be at the house and leave and I left, she then proceeded to steal the fucking cats. They are like my kids I really need them for support right now too I am just crying like crazy can't believe this. She quite literally took them with lies when we agreed they should have stayed with me. Called the cops they said you guys need to get a document of separation and write the ownership on that document. Until then as we are married I cant pursue legal action at all because its not technically stealing apparently:D im loosing it yall tell me somethingg

update; I got my cats back but she wants to take them back next week, imma fight thos during divorce as im filing it for it during the weekday as lawyers dont work weekends

I think this is bad advice.

Well, for many people it is. For people that love their pets like a child not so much.

I am concerned about the consequences. Supposing it goes wrong? Supposing the police become involved? Supposing violence occurs? Supposing OP ends up being charged with a criminal offense? Supposing the cats are injurred in the attempt?

And if your aunt had a penis she would be your uncle. All those things can happen just walking down the road. I'm just saying I would be leaving that home with my cats.
