Husband accused me of abuse!!

My cat is getting fixed soon, but can't right now because she is in the middle of a heat cycle. I was holding her and rubbing her tummy which she likes and she started to meow. So softly shook her belly, didn't hurt her, it just made her meow move like she was going over bumps. It 100% was not hurting her at all! She said it sounded terrible that I was abusing her and that if I didn't stop he would take her away! Ok, 1. She is MY cat! Not his. 2. It was NOT abuse!! I am so pissed off! How dare he accuse me of harming my furbaby! I want to deck him and show him what real abuse is! (would never do that)
