So much for working really hard at making my living situation manageable this year.
So Bogart knocked over one of my roomates hand blown glasswares, and she fliiiiipppped like I WAS THE ONE who had done something wrong. Common sense...you don't want something broken? Don't leave it out. He's a freakin cat. He jumps on counters, he explores stuff, he wants to play. It's not like I can be like "Hey man, don't touch that." It's the same with a dog. If your dog eats shoes, don't leave shoes around. Either way I felt suuuuper bad about it, apologized, offered to buy her new glass and even spent all afternoon looking for shelving so that we could still have her work out, but just not on counters where the cat jumps. So instead of being even half decent, she throws and ultimatum at me saying I need to either take the cat home or find a new roommate. Thanks a lot for being even half decent, let alone throwing the pile of glass on my desk and locking my cat in my room only for me to come home and find glass all over the floor. She should be glad he didn't get glass stuck in his paws!!! How inconsiderate! Then she made a whole bunch of complaints such as he meows a lot (duhhh he's a fucking cat) and that he went to the bathroom on the carpet. (Once! In the course of a year and a half! Her dog was here for like an hour once and he shit on the floor....so lets compare). Then she complained about her allergies even though she has a milllion animals at home and talks all the time about the dog she's going to get. I guarantee if our landlord allowed dogs, she would have one right now, and feel the exact same way if I told her she HAD to get rid of it.
I felt bad enough all afternoon and now I just feel worse. And we were becoming really good friends this year too. So much for that attempt. I can't help what my cat does, he's a cat! So now it looks like I'll have to take him back to Maryland because I'm not going to confine him to my bedroom. That's not fair to do to an animal. Besides, he hates being locked in rooms and he cries even more. So now I don't really know what to do except take him home to my parents. =(
