I dont mind the rambling! I love hearing these stories! I share your frustration btw, i live with a couple who barely lift a finger to keep my cat from going outside, they dont "get" that they are putting my cat's life in danger (and their cat's, they let their cat outside unsupervised too, he's the tabby in the background in one of the photos i posted) every time he escapes and i have gotten to the point of begging but they just refuse to listen and just get pissed at me for constantly asking if boris is outside if i dont see him right away (unless he is asleep this cat is glued to my side). Its not hard to keep him in, theyre selfish people and dont respect my wishes. Once i caught boris outside and one of my housemates was out too, smoking a cig. He told me he "wanted to get boris used to being outside". That was pretty infuriating. Fuck you for putting my cats life and health at risk without even asking. MY cat.

Boris gets to go out anyway! I got a harness and leash just for that reason. There's three cats in the household, used to be four, also used to have a lil corn snake. You have so many animals!! Did you just slowly accumulate all of them? Whats your routine when it comes to care?
