I have a cat and live with a few roommates, who love to hang out with my cat and benefit from her company. My cat is (rightly) 100% my responsibility, from feeding and cleaning the litter box to vet bills and toys. The only thing my roommates do is feed my cat on the rare occasion I’m gone for a weekend, which I always ask well in advance and am very grateful for. I don’t even ask them to scoop the litter box. Less than once a month, my cat makes a small mess (hairball, knocking over the trash) in the common area when I’m in class or at work. Instead of occasionally taking a few minutes to clean it up, my roommates will text me about it and leave the mess until I can get home, often hours later. I absolutely wouldn’t expect them to clean a mess my cat leaves in my room, but a mess in the common area every once in a blue moon feels like something they could just wipe up quickly. It’s not like it happens frequently, and it feels petty when we all chip in to keep the common area clean. Am I overreacting to think they could be less individualistic once in a while?
