"Now she's acting like everything's fine and nothing happened."

Living with roommates is tough. Every single purrson on this Earth has had a terrible experience with a roommate before. Some of them have probably been milder, like them leaving their dirty socks all over the house, but some people are just impawssible to live with. We're not talking about just not washing their dishes, we're talking about throwing parties at 1 AM and climbing in through the window because they constantly lose their keys. Or even worse, the roommate that "accidentally" lets your cat out.

You have two choices when moving in with someone you don't know - you either decide to be friends, or be two ships passing in the night. We prefer the second option, because the first is always a shot in the dark, and has the potential for disaster if they end up being a worse friend than they are roommate. We tried to be friends with a roommate we didn't know before, and let's just say it did not go well. It ended with a broken window and lawyers.

But, we don't fault anyone for trying to go the friendly route. As much potential as it has for failure, it has a similar potential for purrrre awesomeness. You get a cool friend, and it makes living together easier. That is, if it works out. If you both share a love for cats, then you would think that you would be purrfectly compatible, right? Wrong!

After a seemingly banal incident where one roommate's cat got into a very interesting kitchen item, said roommate began icing out her fellow roommate and cat mom for something that was not her fault at all. She flipped a switch, instantly writing her off and looking down on her like she was a terrible purrson. When, really, if you read the story, you see that she is the irresponsible one. 

One thing you can't teach someone is how to take responsibility, and usually, the more money you have, the less responsibility you think is yours.

    Am I the jerk for using a Brillo pad and my roommates cat getting into it?

    My roommate (20F) and I(20F) are currently not talking right now because of a situation that occurred last Tuesday.

    Basically what happened was I was using a Brillo pad to scrub dried stuff off pans and stuff while doing dishes before class.

    once I was done, I put everything like soap and sponges in the sink and covered it with a towel and weighted fabric plush to keep the cats out of it, which usually works.

  • Anything you think you can do to deter cats is almost always never enough. Cats have all day while you're gone to figure out what that one thing is you're trying to hide from them. And they will succeed.

    However, when I came home Tuesday night, I found the Brillo pad chewed up in front of door while my roommate was in the shower, despite knowing I had put it in the sink with everything else.

    My roommates cat was the only one in the living room, my cat was locked in my room while I was at class cause we're introducing them.

    Since he was the only one out, I knew he fished out of the sink. (He also is the only one who likes to chew on non-food item.) I let my roommate know to check on her cat as soon as she got out of the shower and showed her the Brillo pad.

    She comes from a wealthy family and had no idea what it was until I told her.

    Thankfully, her cat is fine but then she started giving me the cold shoulder, ignoring me, or giving me short and cold answers since then.

    Yesterday, I had had enough and finally sat down with her and asked about it while doing a play session with our cats.

    I asked her why she had been icing me out and she basically said "I don't want him getting into anymore trash, I'm tired of it.

    And these introductions are pointless, I don't want you coming to my room anymore unless it's absolutely necessary, and I'm afraid of what your cat is gonna do to him." (Context for cats: my cat is a grumpy girl but they were doing really well together ever since we started introductions in December.

    On Wednesday, her cat got out of her room when I went to ask her a question about watching him while she was gone and our cats had a brief interaction.) After this, I had to take a walk in the rain to cool down before I said anything to her.

    I feel like she blames me for her cat getting into stuff, majority of it being hers.

    I also feel like she's calling me dirty and lazy but I'm the one who does most of the dishes, buys most of the snacks, takes out most of the garbage and recycle, buys most of the water, and am the only one who removes hair from the bathtub drain and food clogging the garbage disposal.

    Not to mention, shes very hypocritical in the sense that she leaves trash all over her room that I've picked up before while checking on her cat cause he was getting into it.

    At this point, I hate to admit it but I'm starting to think what everyone told me about her is right.

    She's moving after the semester ends and I'm honestly done so I don't really care anymore.

    UPDATE: she's acting like everything's fine and nothing happened. *
