I agree with your concern. Sounds like alot of anger going on, but even angry people generally don't lock up their cats until they die. Your sister needs to seek out some help, but she doesn't sound like the type who would take that advice easily.
My sister is bi-polar with some other personality disorders. She is also a recovering addict. In our case, there came a point where I had to remove myself from the situation because she would not get help. We had tried everything we knew how to get her to see that she needed a psyche eval. There always seemed to be a chaos surrounding everything she did. She seemed to thrive on it. And if things got too calm, she'd create her own mini tornadoes. She finally did seek help, but only after we stepped back and let her find the bottom.
I understand the feeling of wanting to MAKE someone you love get help. Wouldn't it be nice if it really worked that way? Does anyone else in your family share your concerns? It may take everyone in the family to get involved in trying to get her to seek some help. But the truth is, she has to decide that that is what SHE wants to do before any real benefits can be had.
I'm very disturbed about the cat thing. And I don't even care too much for cats anyway. But that incident in itself is a BIG red flag. Are you the only one who knows about this?
