    He Sounds Decent Enough

    Font - I (22NB) have been living with my current roommate, Brett (22M), for a little over a year now. We've been friends for 10 years total. Brett can be self-absorbed & doesn't think about consequences beyond how they effect him. But usually if you sit him down & explain to him why he's in the wrong, he'll come around. When we moved in together, I brought my cat, Noodle. I've had Noodle for also 10 years. She's my little shadow. We eat at the same times, we watch movies together every night (Ev

    This Brett doesn't sound like a bad guy at the start. If he's somebody that you can talk to and explain things to, there shouldn't be any issues. But, as you'll all see in a minute, maybe he can't be talked to about everything. We just can't believe he thought his next actions were ever going to be alright.

    What The Heck, Man?

    Font - Our place only allows one cat/dog per unit. I asked Brett if he was okay with me bringing Noodle. He said thats fine & he didn't have any pets to bring with him. Since she's my cat I paid the full $350 pet deposit & I pay the extra $25 for pet rent. But about a month ago I came home to a new cat. My roommate had found her & taken her in. Couple problems: One, our apartment management comes down very hard on people who break the pet rules. Two, Noodle hated new cat (Missy). Noodle & Missy

    If Brett's been living with Noodles for a year, he should love the cat too and shouldn't have wanted to put her in harm's way. We don't think he had malice in his heart when he brought Missy home. But, a little common sense would've helped in this situation. Just wait until you see how OP finally had to deal with all of it.

    Poor Noodles

    Font - I explained that this wasn't going to work. Noodle refuses to leave my room even to use the litter box. She doesn't follow me around anymore or come to me when I call her for movie night. I have to coax her out every night so that I can give her the meds she needs. She went from a happy, people-loving kitty to a cat who flinches & runs at the smallest sound. I think her fur might even be falling out. Brett's only response was that it wasn't his problem & that I needed to do a better job o

    No Doubt In Our Mind

    Font - Kris82868 21 days ago Supreme Court Just-ass [136] NTA. How you could even doubt that is beyond me. 377 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow toesfera2 OP 21 days ago I was fairly confident at first that I was 100% in the right, but I've had a lot people telling me that issuing him an ultimatum of "get rid of your cat or I'll tell our landlord" is a pretty huge dick move and I just want other perspectives.

    Noodles Needs Their Own Pad

    Font - Bear Cub_15 21 days ago Asshole Enthusiast [8] NTA - Your friend clearly has no consideration for anyone but themselves. I'd be looking for a new place to live. 191 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    Missy Needs To Go Is Right

    Font - ParsimoniousSalad 21 days ago Prime Ministurd [490] NTA. Missy needs to go, and if Brett won't do it, then he needs to leave too. This was Noodle's home first, she's the legitimate resident and she's being traumatized (and it will take a long time for her to get over this). Let the apartment office know if you have to. And I really doubt that Brett actually checked to see if Missy had a chip... Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow 85

    A Little Update!

    Font - UPDATE: I have contacted our landlord and she is going to call my roommate this afternoon. Noodle is safe laying in bed w me and we're watching YouTube together. The situation is on its way to being resolved <3. UPDATE #2: My landlord has spoken to my roommate and has stated she is open to negotiate another pet on the lease since Noodle has been so well-behaved historically. The 3 of us have agreed that Missy will temporarily stay with my roommate's mother until Missy has a FULL check up
