I think I want the kitty to be a way for them to get in touch with themselves and start healing a little after everything? Take Ray at the end, when he looks so unhinged: I think it would have been good for him to have a kitty to care for. But I don't really know how to explain the process of healing.
Well, that’s the thing about plot. You don’t have to explain it outright. You can show Ray having a hard time taking care of himself, and instead taking care of the kitty and slowly starting to also take care of himself because the kitty needs him and there you go.
ETA: Whoops! Just saw you edited your comment lol. I was replying to the original version but I think it still works.
