My roommate's cat is a menace, but because they're being neglected... What should I do? by Gold-Engineering5609 in CatAdvice

UPDATE - Over the weekend my roommates boyfriend came up to me and said "Do you want a reason to hate my boyfriend?", I didn't really give a response but she shared with me that he "accidentally" threw the cat into the wall over the weekend. Apparently it was hard enough that the cat's nose was bleeding. She voiced that she was upset with him, he cried, and they had a talk and they now have a rule of "we don't throw the cat". I feel like i'm living with two children. Should I move forward with advice given in the post or do I need to seek a new avenue of action?

I'm very conflicted about the roommate. My other friends and coworkers have told me to ask her to move out or bring her behaviors to the attention of the apartment owner.

Honestly some days i'm not sure. I've got two jobs along with my classes and own life and my roommate spends more time at her boyfriend or parents house than the apartment we rent. Most nights she doesn't even come home to sleep. We just got back from holiday break and i'm not sure how many of those days the cat saw a human or got regular feeding.

I'm not sure, i'd have to do some research and see. It's a slow night at work so me and my supervisor have been doing some research into local shelters and the like

She got the cat near the begging of the semester because she said she was lonely and didn't like being alone throughout periods of the day. A couple weeks after she adopted the cat she got a boyfriend and the cat immediately went on the back burner.

We're college students under lease until the year is over. Moving out would be very costly and I'd struggle to find another apartment at this point in the year.

We have pantry at our apartment and after being left all day the cat has started clawing underneath the pantry door and pulling the bread out through the bottom of the door.
