It's looking like my friend can only go through with a long term (at least 6 months) move overseas they've been working on if I take care of their cat.
I haven't offered this and am not particularly fond of this cat. I don't want to integrate another animal into my home.
Here's the kicker: the friend is a roommate so the cat already lives here (in their room).
Not sure what to do. Like I want my friend to get to go, but at what cost? I'm sure they'll resent it if I don't help, and I am ready for them to move out
But again I really don't like this cat very much, she's really unfriendly with our cat and dog.
I feel like it's unreasonable to not offer to help.
Yeah we could do a situation similar to what you describe. End game would be the roommate having their own place, but it might be in the other country, without the cat.
so they might stay in the other country for good? roomie needs to explain what happens if that's the case.
So I offered to care for the cat at least 6 months if roomie covered vet expenses, but roomie declined the offer and isn't going on their trip
They said they "didn't ask us for a reason" which has me kinda offended but whatever. It's for reasons I can't understand.
you did say you don't like that cat cause it doesnt get along with your pets, so they were doing you a favor by not asking you. they didnt want to burden you. that's actually pretty considerate. although it's kinda wild this trip just suddenly isn't happening, doesnt sound like it was a very solid plan to begin with.
Yeah it's really throwing me! I was thinking hard about this and then poof
