'He hasn't been holding up his end of taking care of them': Neglectful messy roommate gets kicked out and tries to take half of bonded cat pair, even though he doesn't care for them

This whole situation is a total catastrophe. The roommate's behavior has been nothing short of clawful, from leaving dirty dishes and food out for days to completely neglecting litter box duties. Despite previously pawmising to care for "his" cat, he's proven time and again that he's unwilling or unable to meet even the bare minimum of responsible pet care.

Meanwhile, the two cats who were adopted together have formed a rare and beautiful furiendship. They nap together, groom each other, and play like lifelong littermates. One of them struggles with anxiety, but is noticeably more confident and calm when his best buddy is by his side. Separating them would be more than sad, it would be purrticularly damaging to their wellbeing.

The concern here isn't just about cleanliness (though that's bad enough); it's about safety and emotional health. With one human clearly committed to their care and the other showing repeated neglect, it's pretty pawvious who should keep both cats. These bonded babies deserve to stay together in a loving, clean, and purroperly cared-for home.

If you’ve been footing the bill this whole time, that’s already a big part of ownership right there. Care, commitment, and actual responsibility speak louder than empty promises.

He’ll probably take the money. Small price to pay to keep those sweet kitties safe and together. Their bond is too special to risk over someone else's neglect.

You’ve gotta keep bonded pairs together. Separating them can seriously hurt their mental health. They’re besties for life, not a matching set to split!
