'She is not willing to abide by the original terms agreed on': Cat drama pushes concerned pawrent to tell landlord to enforce the two pet pawlicy, protecting her cat but risking friendship with her bestie roomie

In this whisker-raising roommate drama, one woman thought she was just gaining a best friend and a chill home, not a territorial cat causing chaos. Her own tiny queen (and ESA) had ruled the roost peacefully with her beloved pitbull bestie for a year. When her new roomie adopted a massive rescue cat, the deal was clear: he'd stay upstairs, far from her cat.

Of course, that promise went poof. The new cat strutted into the shared spaces, claimed the common areas, and left the original cat confined and stressed. After one too many boundary breaches, she made the heartbreaking call to send her cat to live with her grandparents for the year just to keep her safe. Now the dog's scared, the pawrent is devastated, and her friend seems pawfully unbothered.

Since the roommate isn't sticking to the agreement, this pawrent is now considering telling the landlord to enforce the lease's two-pet limit which would mean the new cat has to go. Not the cattiness she wanted, but maybe the only way to claw things back to normal.
