Having cats… means making compromises. Cats are like any other roommate. They have needs, they have standards, and they have demands. The only difference is that, unlike a roommate, we are responsible for all of our cats' needs, and if we want to live with them in peace, then we need to learn to comply with their demands. If your cat asks to sit on your puzzle while you are making it, then you let your cat do it. If your cat wants to drink water out of the faucet, then you open the water when they demand it. If your cat keeps screaming whenever you close any door, then- just stop closing doors.

It's simple. And if your cat sheds like a typhoon, well… if there's not too much fur in your food, then you won't even taste it, we promise. Just pretend like it's not there, and everything will be just fine.

    Posted by u/howcanibequiltyassin 4 days ago AITA for not inviting someone for dinner because she made a big deal out of how she doesn't eat at the homes of people who have cats?

    Look… as people who have cats, we know that cat hair really does get everywhere. We have coined the term "cat seasoning" in our home, and we treat it as such. So, we can kind of understand the idea of not wanting cats to be near your food. But at the same time…

    A while back I posted a picture to my IG Stories of my cat sitting NEXT TO my counter as I was cooking. On his own stool. He was watching. Again, he was NEXT TO my counter. Not anywhere near the food. He doesn't go on counters. He doesn't go near the food.

    There is no need to be an mean about it. There is no need to publish about it on the internet. And if you are going to be like that, then don't be surprised if the people in question don't really want you to be in their homes too often.

    My "friend" Rose reposted it with her own caption, a puke face emoji and "You can't eat everybody house"

    I ignored it and went about my business. She is very much the type of person who just regurgitates whatever popular phrases she sees on social media. Pineapple on pizza = monsters, raisins in cookies are why I have trust issues, I don't trust people who don't like dogs, "hot girl" walks, "hot girl" books, delulu, I'm going to hold your hand while I tell you this, is the X in the room with us right now, etc etc.

    She has other traits that make up for it, but truthfully I do tend to avoid one-on-one time with her.

    About a month ago I hosted a small get together... to show off some Le Creuset cookware I obtained (getting older is weird). I had a whole little shindig with home prepared food, lots of fun times between pals. I didn't invite Rose.

    She found out after folks posted on their IG stories and confronted me over it, saying that I was "giving high school mean girl vibes." I told her that she has made it clear she doesn't eat at the homes of people who have cats, so why would I have invited her to a dinner party?

    She got defensive and said that she could have just come and not eaten anything. I said that in the future, maybe she should be more careful about what she says, because to me it was very clear.

    Rose has continued to tell people I'm giving "high school mean girl to nurse pipeline” (…..I'm an accountant) and all that. Am I really the for not inviting her? Why would she have wanted to come?

    RB1327 4 days ago edited 3 days ago His Holiness the |[1144] My "friend" Rose Obviously NTA because your dinner guest list is your decision. But you're not even "friends" and she obviously aggravates you. Are you so desperate for social media followers you won't just block her? That's what you should have done when she reposted your cat photo with the insulting remark. Move on from her already, you both seem to be interacting like you're in high school.

    North RiverBend . 4 days ago Are you so desperate for social media followers you won't just block her? This is such a Reddit moment take. Even if OP doesn't much like Rose, it sounds like Rose is in OP's "group of friends", and yes, blocking someone just because they use terminally online language would cause IRL drama. OP, NTA; now I think you have good reason to stop associating with Rose and blocking them if you want. If not, you're still NTA; you aren't obligated to invite somebody to your h

    Purple Flavored Cherry 4 days ago Especially when people who need to be blocked, don't handle being blocked well. Rose can't even handle not being invited to a home that she complained about. Could you imagine a temper tantrum she would have over being blocked?? Sometimes people can't be bothered by drama and like to keep the peace. Thats what me and my boyfriend do lol. We just let people scream into the void of our DMs.

    7hrown 4 days ago Supreme Court Just- [144] NTA, your house, you can invite (or not) any one you want, for any reason (or none at all), but Rose has given you plenty of reasons not to invite her. "high school mean girl to nurse pipeline" just regurgitates whatever popular phrases she sees on social media I wouldn't want to hang out with this person, either. 2.2k Reply Share ...

    IamIrene 4 days ago Commander in Cheeks [287] NTA. Words have meaning. You were simply believing what she said and acted accordingly. She's free to be upset about it but in the end, you respected her opinion and didn't expose yourself to what likely would have been a ridicule-fueled evening. 943 Reply Share

    Narkareth 4 days ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [46] ΝΤΑ You didn't invite someone who was not only pretty explicit about not wanting to eat around cats, but inferred that its a vomit inducing offense to do so. Actions meet consequences.
