Roommate refuses to replace $800 mattress after her cat ruins it, claims it's not her fault: 'She freaked out and called me heartless for threatening her cat'

They will pay the bills, clean the litter box, and make sure they are fed and entertained. You're the one who wanted the cat in the first place, so it's your job to keep everything running smoothly around them. And that sometimes means fixing things that they break. That's what happened in the story, when a classic cat moment happened while the roommates were away. But instead of owning up to the mistake and trying to make it better, they wanted to fight off responsibility. This is no way to be a pet owner, and it gives other pet owners a bad name. The roommate was left wondering what they could do in that situation. Should they move out and just give up on the roommate relationship entirely? Or should they stand their ground and try to make the situation better through communication? Read on to see what happened in the story and see what commenters have to say about it.
