21-year-old woman refuses to let roommate's kitten roam free in the home if owner isn't there, despite her agreeing to getting a kitten in the first place: 'I would not have adopted a cat'

When living with roommates, everything becomes a hassle, a chore, a conversation, and something to agree or disagree on. I used to live with roommates, but I'll never go back to that lifestyle. It's such a pain to have people eat your food, or move your things around, or play music loudly when you want to sleep. The list of issues that could arise with roommates is endless, and it's absolutely daunting. In the story here, the protagonist complains about a roommate who initially agreed to getting a cat, and then turned the tables when she actually went through with it. 

The protagonist adopts a cat, and while both roommates initially agreed to it, one of them has decided to express her fear of cats after the fact. We always have 20/20 vision in hindsight. Now the protagonist is in a difficult situation, where she is trying to compromise with her roommate, but also let her new kitten have a nice life.
