'I don't think she has the ability to properly take care of the babies': After a year of careless co-parenting, a roommate plans to claim the cat for college, leaving the true pawrent caught in a furry dilemma

This whole situation is more tangled than a ball of yarn during zoomies. What started as a mutual decision to adopt Cat A turned into one person doing all the heavy lifting, feeding, watering, vet visits, litter duty, while the roommate slowly checked out. Things seemed fine in the early days, but since Cat B came along, it's been clear who's actually taking care of both cats. And now, after barely lifting a paw to help (even while someone was away on vacation!), the roommate wants to take Cat A with her to grad school? That's a hissterical idea.

Cats aren't just roommates. They're family. And any feline deserves reliable care, not just cuddles when it's convenient. The best move is to have a calm but direct conversation soon, maybe even over coffee with a curious cat nearby for emotional support. There's still time to sort things out before the big move, but putting it off might just lead to more catastrophes. When it comes to their future, the priority has to be what keeps those whiskers twitching happily and the litterboxes clean.

Sharing a cat is tough and is pawsibly the hardest part of cohabiting! But maybe a real heart-to-heart will help her see what the kitty really needs!

Ultimately, it might just come down to whose name is on the pawperwork because even the cutest kitty co-parents need things in writing when it’s time to make big decisions.

Sounds like she caught a classic case of the lazies! Once there’s no one around to quietly cover for her, she might just surprise everyone by stepping up for the fluffball.
