Ugh. I debated posting this because I'm not sure if even I believe what I'm about to write, but I have to somehow hope and maybe even believe that she's telling the truth about BBJ/Casey. At least somewhat. Not only because otherwise I would actually step into hatred of her for the first time in years, and not only because I can't stop watching the Jamming video and being amused by it, but because I think Chantal's pattern lends more credence that way.
Here's my evidence, and I'll take all the dislikes you can throw at me. We're going to go with the presumption that Chantal lies.
1. Chantal never really got specific about what he did to that poor cat, even though she got fairly specific and even over-dramatized what he did to HER, such as the cigarette, hitting her so hard she saw stars, etc. With BBJ it was more general as in "hurt" her or scared her. When Chantal was pretty pissed at Nader, I feel like she would have really wanted to get everyone to hate him as much as possible, and how would she do that? No one has that much sympathy for her, but everyone loves animals. She remained pretty vague about it, though, and we know her to exaggerate the hell out of everything.
2. Even though Peetz is spineless, and despite him claiming to hate that cat, I have a feeling that Peetz wouldn't allow Nader over at all if he actually hurt BBJ. Scare? Yeah, just add to the reasons why he dislikes Nader. But I don't think he'd stand for one of the cats getting hurt. Chantal is different. He may be totally in love with her, but she's not a defenseless animal.
3. I can't remember my third reason, so I'll go with my fourth reason, which is pretty weak. Don't they worship cats in Egypt?
Like I said, I am trying desperately to believe this, because while I don't really get MOTI, I could find a true hatred for Chantal over any of the animals, and she's already on my shit list for the poor creatures she's hit while driving her car.
ETA: I know I'm probably wrong, but just let me have my hope. That's all I have left.
