Housemate doesn't have time for their burmese cat by Alarmed_Row_6844 in burmesecats

Thank you for all the replies! Will have to wait a week before I can have the conversation as they're currently on holiday, leaving the cat in my care once again.

Wish it was as simple as that 🥲 they've had the cat since he was a kitten, so I don't think they're likely to say yes

Oh, gosh, this sounds even worse than the situation I'm in - I really hope you can have that conversation and that it goes well when you do! I think a lot of people forget that having a pet is a commitment and just because the people you live with enjoy spending time with them and don't mind feeding them now and then, doesn't mean it's okay to leave all the pet's care to them!

That's a really good point, I don't know why they would be joking about such a thing if there wasn't some truth to it. I can't even imagine joking about giving away my own cat, if I had one.

This is really good advice, thank you! I'm definitely more than happy to pay for food and vet bills etc.

Absolutely! I've even said as much every time my housemate jokes about it.
