Three cats and one crazy cat lady is a big ask. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/ChoosingBeggars subreddit by u/spelonberry, who was renting out a room and had to deal with this extended back-and-forth. As some folks pointed out in the comments section below, this exchange went on for far too long. I would have said "Absolutely not" and then I would have been done with it. Kudos to the Redditor for having the patience to deal with this lady.

 

Now, onto the cat lady issue. There's something to be said for the fact that if you cannot afford to properly take care of a pet, or in this case THREE pets, then you probably are not well-equipped to handle being a pet owner at all. Despite how this cat lady wants to put it, the reality is what OP asking for is not out-of-life whatsoever, especially considering the fact that cats were simply not supposed to be part of the equation here.

    Font - View buyer I have my cats 3.. More options It is still available yes. How many? Ooh, I'm afraid three is a little much! An additional cat would be fine but I'm not sure about three plus mine!

    Font - It should be ok Yes, I am willing to take one extra cat, but that's it. You wouldn't allow 3 even for a bit ? I'm in a situation & really need out. Well, what time frame are you looking for? Maybe like a month or So..

    Font - I would write it into the agreement that the three cats are only allowed for one month, but if you really needed a month we could do that. Also, for three cats a month, I would ask for $120/month extra instead of $50/ month extra. Yea I'm really struggling with $ so I don't know... )):

    Font - If u can not charge that much for for the month cus of my cats Ah. Sorry $770 for one month with three cats is my final price. Why they're really good. $120 for cats is wayyy too much most places are $25 per cat So that's $75

    Font - Sorry I hope you can find another place for the excellent price you mention above! My rate is as stated above. Everyone says that so I don't know why you're asking for so much especially cats that especially don't damage
