Unfortunately, this is not the first time that we have seen cats cause… tension between roommates. It happens more often that you think. And not because the cats do something wrong, but because roommates can be insanely insensitive to pretty much everything around them. We have written articles about people locking their roommate's cats in their rooms and not letting them out. We've written about people allowing their roommate's cats to escape, when that could have been entirely avoidable. We've even written about someone demanding that their roommate clean up after their cats, even though it was entirely unreasonable. 

And as usual, none of the mess in today's story is the cats' fault. Because it never is. And still, what makes this one special in our opinion are the layers. There are so many levels to the madness going on in this house, the cats don't even begin to cover it. The cats were just another thing that happened. The problem was there much earlier.

    "My 2 roommates are incredibly entitled, have 2 cats, and have ZERO care for me or my boyfriend’s privacy."

  • There are levels to the problems in this roommate situation. And although we can put some responsibility on the hurt party for, at the very least, letting someone choose their apartment for them twice and then complaining about not getting a good deal… the rest of it. Yeah, maybe it's a good thing to leave.

    As the title reads, and I've tried my best to make it quick. I (24F) live with my boyfriend (24M), his bestfriend (25M) and his best friend's girlfriend (24F). I will call his bestfriend "Adam", and his best friend's girlfriend "Kennedy".

    Before I moved in with my boyfriend, we lived in a dorm setup with 2 other strangers but also Adam and - Kennedy. Each room had a lock and your own key, and each room came set with a bathroom and walk in closet (full privacy).

    The shared living space was the living room and kitchen, which me, my boyfriend, Adam and Kennedy all avoided because we didn't know the other roommates very well. Eventually we decided to lease a new apartment, just us 4.

    Kennedy found an apartment, and talked it up like it was the greatest thing ever. Me and my boyfriend never got invited to view it, nor had the time to but trusted Adam and Kennedy wouldn't f us over. We signed the lease and all was well until Kennedy started texting me about how the guests will have to use me and my bf's bathroom?

    I was blown away. I pulled out the apartment layout on the website and that's when I discovered that they leased an apartment with a master bedroom (for them) and a tiny little room with a bathroom outside of it (for us).

    The best part? They weren't going to pay any more than us. Meaning that each couple pays $800, while me and my boyfriend get completely screwed over with a tiny room and zero privacy bathroom.

    After a few brief messages, my boyfriend cleared things up about our bathroom being the "communal" bathroom, and also touched base on the fact that we thought we all agreed to no guests? Well, not Kennedy. Kennedy wants her family to come visit 3 times a month to watch movies in the living room. Whatever. I thought this is fine, I can make things work one way or another.

    Me and Kennedy start to become closer as friends and I start to really cherish time with her; even besides all of the sh that happened.. She tells me that she hates people who get everything handed to them, and she's had to work for everything her entire life (and has never had anything for free).

    I found this awesome, because I'm the same (I've been homeless before). Then a few months later, she tells me that she's a "20/80 kind of girl" and that she doesn't believe women should pay for anything. My jaw dropped.

    Kennedy confesses that she doesn't pay rent, and now I'm just confused with everything she told me prior. I start thinking about her and Adam's relationship and really paying attention to how things go. For the next 3 months, I notice that she only does dishes 2 times a month and screams at Adam when he doesn't do them.

    She sits and watches TikTok's all day in her bed doing nothing but eating snacks before she goes to work. She goes on shopping sprees and hoards everything on the couch in bags to never be seen again.. And then just when you think that's the worse it can get, she decides to buy 2 cats and everything gets even worse.

    Adam and Kennedy consulted with us about the cats and we said sure - so long as they stay in their room because my boyfriend and me are both allergic. They stayed in their room for about 2 months, and then one day their door opened and it hasn't been shut since. Everytime we have to go to the bathroom, a cat runs into our room, or into the bathroom.

    Recently, Kennedy got a pet food dispenser, however she failed miserably to tell us that it has video recording and a microphone. I was on the phone with a friend and telling her about how I feel absolutely walked on living in this apartment RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE FEEDER IN THE LIVING ROOM.

    A day later, I see the box the feeder came in and it says it records audio and films video. I immediately googled my rights, and it's 10000% illegal to have a recording device without roommates permission - let alone be filmed. And if she decides to use that recording for blackmail, that's also against the law considering I wasn't aware.

    Recently we decided we were all going to move to a new place (this was before the cat feeder incident). We signed a lease on a new place (again, not viewing the place but seeing it online and being happy with it). We get f ed over with this one too, but not as bad.

    I thought everything was fine until my boyfriend notices that the window in our bedroom is placed directly in front of the door - meaning that if somebody wanted to break in: that's the only way and it's directly into our room. My boyfriend flipped out.

    He messaged Kennedy and Adam and told them that he'd pay extra money on the rent to take the master bedroom, and if they refused then me and him won't live there for longer than a year (which means moving again in another year and never truly unpacking for the whole year we're there).

  • 21
    Guess what they chose? So yeah, only one year there because they're too entitled and ignorant to take a bedroom even though they - pay the same rate as us.

    This, toppled with the fact they never clean their dishes (we have bugs crawling everywhere that I have to deal with because they won't), they take dishes I've washed rather than washing their dirty dishes (until there's no dishes left to use),

    laundry that sits in the dryer for 3+ days, cats that have no training (jump on the countertops, stove and in the sink, run into our room, have peed on our bathmat several times), raw chicken being left in the fridge for 4+ days past expiration,

  • 25
    exploding soda's in the freezer because Adam doesn't know how to just put them in the fridge before he goes to work, the hoarding on the couch, and the fact that I'm the ONLY PERSON who cleans (mops, scrubs pawprints off countertops and stovetop, sweeps, etc)..
    via ThrowRAjackter
  • 26
    Oh and I forgot to mention that they go on vacation every 2 months and leave us to babysit their cats for free (unless you count a souvenir from their location as payment - but I consider that just more rubbing it in our faces that they have money and the ability to walk all over us).
    via ThrowRAjackter
  • 27
    I have no idea what to do anymore, but I'm so tired of this. I have never met more entitled people before in my entire life. My boyfriend has told me to stop cleaning entirely, and wants me to stay away from Kennedy because apparently she's very 2-faced and is the type to blackmail me.

    He said he's never liked her, and would prefer me trying to keep as quiet as I can from here forward. What the F do I do!?

    TLDR: Narcissistic roommates can't fork over extra money for their master bedroom, expect us to pay half the rent, don't do dishes until they've sat for several days and breed bugs, leave soda in the freezer to explode, chicken past expiration in the fridge for several days, take dishes I've just washed instead of clean theirs that are sat in the sink, they don't mop, don't sweep, and they don't train their cats.

    They've recently installed a cat feeder in the living room that listens into our conversations and record video - I was unaware and stood right in front of it while on the phone with my friend telling her how I hate living here and how I feel walked on by these roommates.

    We have a bathroom that serves no privacy, and my female roommate has her family over so often that they've seen me in a towel at least 10 times. House smells like cat and they never told the landlord they got the cats to begin with.

  • The house smelling like cat litter… that is the biggest worry to us right about now. Because you guys are adults, and although it's hard to leave in these circumstances, you can still get up and do it. The cats can't. Make sure that the cats are okay before you leave please, because they don't deserve your anger.

    EDIT: I'm tired of seeing people calling me stupid for “making the same mistake over and over". | didn't post this to get the answer to move away from them. I posted this for solutions. Obviously if we could leave, we would.

    Have you seen this economy? Me and my boyfriend make a monthly gross income of $1300USD. We've been job searching for more than a year, but nobody is looking for applications. The jobs we work, only have us working 2-5 days a week part-time on minimum wage - because of hour cuts due to the tariffs.

    Idk if you watch the news, but the USA is going to complete sh. You try living on $1300, paying off a medical bill for $35000, car insurance for a lump sum $185, health insurance $120 monthly (covers both of us), and then groceries and gas. No way in h || you're living in an apartment with just you and your S/O with that budget. We need these roommates, or we're homeless. Be so for real.
