Do you call yourself a dog mom or a cat dad? Everyone's different, but we know that a whole heckin' lot of us value our pets pretty highly. Today we have a story about a dog owner who doesn't feel her parents are being responsible around her pets. This cat mom doesn't want her own mom do do anything that might hurt her fur baby, but when her mom brought home a type of flower that happens to be poisonous to cats. Unfortunately for the original poster, her cats really enjoy eating plants, so when the woman found it in the house she got super angry at her mom.

In our humble opinion as I Can Has Cheezburger writers, it sounds like this mom made an honest mistake and is deeply apologetic about it. But still, we have to know, what would you do in this situation? And do you check all the types of houseplants that come into your house to make sure they're non toxic? Tell us in the comments section below, we know our pawsome readers are gonna have a whole heckin' lot of thoughts about today's story! Don't worry, Reddit did as well, and there's sooo much to say.

    Awww, it sounds like a terrible accident, lucky it was prevented before it happened and something went wrong.  Let's keep reading to hear what exactly the mom bought and how it ties in with the pets and the conflict of the story.

    Font - I live alone with two cats. I care about very little in this life, but I love those cats. One of these cats, Reno, likes to eat any plant he can access, so I make sure to vet out all plants that enter my home and make sure he can't access them.

    Aww, sounds super cute! We love content with awwdorable cats, it's like a cuteness overload. New pet parents can get super into their kids, so it's no surprise that the woman is a little cautious with her cats in order to keep them safe, pretty standard.

    Font - My mother entered my apartment while I wasn't there through the BACK DOOR, forcing open the screen to leave a gift on my desk: a vase of flowers, which included lilies. Lilies are deadly to cats if eaten and are strictly not allowed in my apartment due to the danger of Reno eating

    Font - her that I was done with her disrespecting me and my boundaries, that if this had ended tragically I would have cut most contact with her. She seemed seriously sorry for what she had done, but I feel that she only feels that was because of the possible repercussions. My sister thinks I was too hard on her. AITA?

    Font - Thank you for all of the insight and opinions! Edit to answer some questions: Yes she knew my cat eats plants. I've told her before. I've also told her no lilies, and the reason why. She must have forgotten both.

    Font - I live in an apartment with cheap locks and a wooden bar to hold the door shut. My mom had no spare key, but she does know if you tug and wiggle hard enough, the lock will disengage. That's what happened this time. Yes I know its dangerous, hence the wooden bar. Yes I've brought it up to my landlord, who supplied me with a longer wooden bar. Lol.

    Font - Hellboundroar NTA. Change locks and explain to her why you did this, and that you're not going to give her a spare if she cannot respect your boundaries.

    Font - opinionatedjars NTA. she is incredibly f cking invasive, letting herself into your home like that whenever she pleases, KNOWING you said no and that it passes you off. That's a complete disrespectful lack of giving a crap about what you have to say.
