New ALR supporter on Twitter. There seems to be speculation that the account is run by Tommy or Amber.

Someone in the archived reddit exchange commented something like "I don't believe she lost Rarity on purpose because she obviously hates Wasabi" (paraphrase). Nah, RARITY would be the one she'd get rid of.
Wasabi hides. Amber would have to hurple her fat ass around the house, going up and down ALL the stairs, and check every nook and cranny for him. Then she'd have to pick him up, and physically toss him out the door. Too much work - plus, he might already be missing and Amber hasn't even noticed yet.
Rarity is the social one. And now she's an older cat (not OLD, but older). She's spent about 4 years where it's just been her, Wasabi, Twinkie. Before that there were two little rat dogs, but Eric took care of them so they probably didn't bother her. So now you have an older cat in a Lord of the Flies environment, with a cat partner who always hides, and two other cats who are likely fucking with her because they've bonded and she's the third. Another "fun" dynamic of cats is that younger ones will pick on older ones - it's a show of dominance or something. So this is even more likely if Emily's two cats are younger. It's a dynamic you have to be careful of when introducing cats together. Also, Wasabi and Rarity are probably intimidated by Milo, even if he's not intentionally trying to be aggressive (as they aren't used to being around a large and loud dog - they've spent years around dogs they could physically dominate if they had to). Cats are absolute shitheads - lovable... but toddleresque, temper tantrum having shitheads. They don't like it when the number of animals in an enclosed space doubles, and the number of responsible adults caring for them on a regular basis goes down to zero (Emily at work and Amber not giving a fuck). And non-compliance and anarchy are their favourite communication methods.
I wouldn't be surprised if Rarity's personality has changed since being at the house and she was hating it. But Amber doesn't care. She'd say they all get along fine even if they were ripping each other's fur out because all that matters is her feelings, and creating a fantasy to sell to her audience. She probably wouldn't even notice anything was different. She probably wouldn't even smell all the urine, as she's likely nose-blind from her own stench.
