    ‘I told her that it was only a matter of time before it happened’: Clawminal cat children crash into roommate’s weekly rations of ramen, feline pawrent refuses to pay

    'I told you so' is such a divisive term. On the one hand, you did tell them, you warned them, perhaps you even pleaded with them to heed your warnings. On the other hand, there is no term more frustrating to hear when everything has gone wrong, and of course you remember that person telling you so in the first place, and while you may not admit it in that moment you know that they were right in telling you so. And that is the basis of this Sunday story.

    • A tail of woe, a tail of hunger, and a tale of the clawminal comedy that cats like to get up to in the middle of the night. It tells the story of an irresponsible feline pawrent who feels like the bigger person even though they arrogantly stand their ground, while their roommate regrets being so nonchalant about bringing a pair of facetious felines into her home who have no respect for her stuff. So we invite you to sit back, guard your food appropriately and never, ever leave any food that you wish to consume out on the counter at night.

    • Well, well, is this not a toughie. On the one hand you have a roommate who willfully ignored a warning, and who somehow does not realize that cats get up to their most clawminal acts during the night. While on the other hand you have a cat pawrent who is being utterly unsympathetic to the chaos their children have caused. Let’s take it to the comments and see what the people of the internet had to say.

      Keep the cats in your room Sunday nights. They are animals. You are the human. You're responsible.

      Both are TA. You are indeed responsible for anything your cats damage...also your roommate is an idiot for leaving so much food out.

    • As you can see, the internet has spoken, and it is both hoomans who are at fault for this farce. Which is a rather legitimate outcome. It is just a shame that they cannot come together and enjoy the hilarity of the moment over the food that remained. Sometimes we simply have to laugh at the tragic things that happen in life, and respect the fact that we may be left with no food, but will have a silly story to tell for years to come.

      Gross...but also irresponsible. I'd offer to pay a portion of the lost goods, and remind her that if it happens again that risk is on her or she can move

      She left food out, overnight, in a house with cats in it. She's not the sharpest tool in the shed.
