Is it just us, or are Karens getting bolder and more entitled by the day? On today's episode of 'Karen is an entitled no good rotten a-hole,' we have a classic example of someone feeling WAY too comfortable telling others what to do under the guise of 'family.' We could not believe our eyeballs as we were reading through this thread. First of all, we've got ht original poster and her partner, who traveled for a short vacation leaving their cat unattended at home.
Though the cat was provided with enough food and water for the duration of the trip, as a general note- might not be the best idea to leave your cat unattended for multiple days on end, but that's just our own two cents. The plot thickens when OP's car is broken into and she scrambles to pick up the pieces of the terrible event. Meanwhile, her Karen MIL threatens to remove the cat from its home since she cannot bear the thought of Noodles, the cat, being alone anymore. To be honest, there is a clear a-hole for us, the MIL. But OP is not exactly innocent here either. What do you guys think? Let's chat more.
Mehhh. We are honestly on the fence. Obviously, MIL should not have stolen Noodles, but OP also should not have left the cat alone for an extended period of time!
"My partner and I went on vacation for spring break and, since none of our friends could look after her, we left Noodle by herself for a few days. She had bird videos, more than enough food, and more than enough water."
But she was alone….
"She was angry and started calling us cruel to leave Noodle for 3 days. We got mad and asked her why she cared more about a cat who doesn't even really care that we are gone than her kid who had his property stolen and their DIL who had her HOUSE AND CAR KEYS STOLEN. She hung up on us after saying she was gonna come to get the cat. I texted her and said that if I got back home and my cat was gone, I'd call the cops. I didn't get a reply."
We're shook.
"Your MIL should not have stolen the cat but it's not up to you to police her feelings either. She is allowed to care about the welfare of a sentient animal over stolen non-sentient stuff."
