We hope you're having a pawsitively swell (yes, we're bringing back "swell," get into it) Meownday, feline fam. Purrsonally, we love living in our cat-friendly house. Sure, there's cat hair everywhere and our couches have been in better shape, but it's part of what makes our home feel like a home. It's loved by all the meowmbers of the household, including our fluffy felines. So, when people ask to stay with us, we make it very clear that this is a cat household. We will clean, but there will still be cat hair. It's just the way it is.

When this fresh feline pawrent moved into their new studio apartment, they were pawsitively pumped. Their friends were pumped too, to come and visit them in their new place. However, things took a turn for the worse when one of their friends "jokingly" suggested she put her cats in the closet when they came to stay. They rightfully refused, and now their friends are calling them selfish. Honestly, we think they're the selfish ones. Scroll down to see how this all played out below.

    Am I wrong for not wanting to “accommodate” guests?

    So to make a long story short, I am moving to Colorado soon and I am taking my two cats with me. I will be in a studio apartment. I was on the phone with my two friends this morning and they were just saying how they are excited to visit... but....

    to put my cats up in the bedroom. They dislike the fact there would be "fur" all over them (lint rollers exist), and one of them goes on to say she is allergic but... isn't there medicine she can take? I say all this to say, I feel like they are being very entitled and

    inconsiderate. After all I do pay rent for my cats, and I have done a lot to take care of them and make sure their vet records are up to date so they can move with me. Why would I need to accommodate for guests when my cats live with me? It is their apartment too. Am I the a hle

    for feeling like my friends should get their own hotel/airbnb when they visit? They are seriously arguing about this and calling me inconsiderate

    stmasc Tell them it is not possible, the cats live there, and they should get a hotel room to be more comfortable.

    weary_bee479 No your friends are inconsiderate. It's your apartment and your cats live there.

    I can't imagine staying at someone's home and telling them to put anything away and definitely never their pets. My husband is allergic to some cats and he's never went into anyone's home saying "put your cat away" he usually just deals with the allergies.

    I'm sorry your friends are being rude. They're already getting a free place to stay (I'm assuming you're not charging them to stay at your apartment for a couple days) they don't really have a leg to stand on making demands.

    I would definitely tell them the cats are free to roam as they wish, if they want to stay with you they're more than welcome. But if there is any issues about your pets. then they will have to figure out their own accommodation.

  • We've said it before, and we'll say it again - our cats come before anything else. Even our hooman friends. Our cats are part of our family, and they have every right to our attention and consideration as anyone else - purrhaps even more.

    And you're right they are acting very entitled telling you what you should do with your cats, man some people.

    _Hallaloth_ Nope. If they are that allergic no amount of cleaning will make it sterile enough for them to be comfortable.

    They are coming into tbe cats home. Would they lock their dog outside when you come over?

    I can tell you. My cats would cause more of a ruckus and be more stressed confined to a single room.

    Befuddled Polydactyls So... your friends want to vacation in Colorado at the expense of you and your cats?
    via u/BefuddledPolydactyls

    The best option for them is a hotel/bnb. Did they not visit you in your current home? They're being very entitled to your soon to be new home. They can find accommodations nearby, and should specify a pet-free to ensure their comfort.

  • The people don't really sound like good friends. We don't know anything else about them other than this post, but none of our friends would suggest we put our cats “in the closet” while they stayed over. But then again, all of our friends love our cats (but really, what's not to love??).

    stefaniki The more important question is, why are your friends inviting themselves to stay at your place?
    via u/stefaniki
  • 21
    Let me guess, they don't really want to visit you. They're into hiking, biking, skiing/snowboarding and think YOUR home is their Airbnb? Yeah no...
    via u/stefaniki

    BakerB921 They need to get their own accommodations-your home isnt really big enough for guests. And anyone who would suggest that my cats needs to be boarded when they visit isn't getting an invitation any time soon.

    Temporary_Skirt_6572 I have a 13-year-old cat that sleeps in the living room on a specific part of the couch and anybody that comes into the house has to accommodate my cat not the reverse so I think you putting your cats before your friend is acceptable perfect encouraged
