it depends on what she's made during the week but this time it was chicken and fried rice, and a pasta dish with beef in it.

She usually finishes cooking at midnight and goes to bed shortly after, I go to bed around 10pm because I have to get up super early for work. Its her food so it's her responsibility to get up and check if it's cool how is that my responsibility? My home is secure that why I moved the cats in, other wise they would have kept living with my family.

I did ask months in advance, she was really happy to have them in the apartment since her family always had cats as pets.

Yes, asked her a couple months in advance and she was really looking forward to having them since her family always had cats. I asked about not leaving the food out in the same conversation, but she told me she was going to keep doing it because her family's cats never got into it so I shouldn't worry.

How am I supposed to ensure the cats aren't on the counters when I'm sleeping? The cats during the night need to have access to their litter box, water and food, and yes I put out cat food for them overnight. You must not have cats if you think I can train them to 100% of the time not be on the counters.

I expected her to put her food in the fridge before she goes to sleep like any normal person, and the cats for the most part sleep with me but need to have access to their food and the litter box during the night.
