Monster Mom Leah Messer Accused Of Animal Abuse After Leaving Family Cat In Car

Leah Messer has come under fire for her bad mom behavior all season long, but now the mother-of-three is receiving backlash for leaving the family cat in her car on Teen Mom 2.
On this week's episode, Messer drives back home when she realizes she forgot her daughter Ali's tie for her choir performance.
As she is in the house screaming, "Are you f**king kidding me right now? Why is my life so f**king horrible?" Aleeah sneaks the family cat into their car.
With Messer, 24, rushing to get Ali to the performance on time, she doesn't notice the twins giggling as they hide the cat in the backseat. When Leah finally sees the pet, she leaves the feline in the car.
The reality star, who lost full custody of her twins to ex-husband Corey Simms in October, received backlash from fans on social media.
"Can animal services go & get Leah's cat??" a user tweeted. "It should be against the law for her & Jenelle to have animals & babies."
"My heart is breaking for that cat! I feel like I need to go on a rescue mission," a fan wrote, as another user fired, "Leah never has her s**t together! Late… again. Chaos… cat in the car! This is why Corey doesn't trust you!!"
Although Messer left the window open so the cat "could have air to breathe," haters still criticized her.
"Leah didn't give a s**t about the window being down and the cat getting out. Lovely," a user slammed.
This isn't the first time Messer has caused controversy this season. On Sunday night's episode, she was blasted for texting and driving with her twin daughters in the backseat.
Teen Mom 2 airs Mondays at 10/9c on MTV.
