I don't think Al is this upset about her cat going misseeen.
She's miserable with Emily Nicole Franz who is employed by Clarity Care Wisconsin. Salty Crab recently said this in a video, but Amberlynn is waiting around all day long, waiting for Emily to get off work in order to do anything. She's not like Necky (who took care of Amberlynn full-time) or Jade Francis (who worked remotely) - she has a real in-person job with long, probably exhausting hours. I'm sure Emily isn't full of energy to drive Amberlynn around to TJ Maxx or whatever the fuck stores she likes to go to spending her money on stupid shit.
That is, if she had money to spend like that.
She can't afford to take month-long breaks from YouTube anymore like she used to post-vlogmas. This is her job. She has completely shot herself in the foot with her smugness and now she's crashing out because the reality of the situation is starting to appear. She willingly entered a relationship with a public feeder (who has a history of feeding people to literal deathfatness + putting them in her basement), defended Emily until she was red in the face, humiliated herself with the whole Erica situation, made a fool out of herself with the whole Alexis fallout nonsense (how's that going, btw?), the receipts re: Emily being a cheater and now she's bawling on camera because "the haydurs don't believe me about rarity!!1!"
It's not that we don't believe you, but you'd think that after a decade on YouTube - you wouldn't let comments like this bother you anymore if you knew the truth and were actively searching for your cat.
I think it's finally dawning on her what she did to herself, and it's an awfully rude awakening.
