Girl. Your roomate will never like you. You cannot please everyone in this life. YOU CANNOT PLEASE THIS PERSON MO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. Let the cats out. Crappy adult roommates 101: Be equally unyielding. Her tactic is working. Use it. Notice her lack of empathy. Don’t “understand where she is coming from” nope. Point blank “I will not abuse my animals.” Period end of sentence. Let her know if she harms them you will call the cops immediately. If she puts out items that are harmful to cats, put them away in her room or throw them away. Let her know you will toss out poisons. This should be enough of a deterrent to abuse, especially if she fucks around and tests the waters, make sure she finds out. Lock the cats in your room ONLY when you are not home. Get copies of your room key and give to roommates you can trust. Instruct them to keep an eye on the cats while they are home, and how to lure the cats into your room when you will both be gone. Since door will be locked, get [firefighter stickers] https://a.co/d/0b8iGFQP
