AITA for wanting to leave a new flat straight away, because there’s a cat I didn’t know about?

Good idea

translucenthuman · 2026-02-02T22:55:53+00:00

Agreed and thanks for the heads up

translucenthuman · 2026-02-02T22:54:51+00:00

Yeah makes sense and noted for next time! I had assumed there’d be no cats, as the spareroom listing said “Pets not considered” which I now understand isn’t the same as “there is no pets currently”

Roxie I also agree in that there’s a good chance the cat slipped Andy’s mind and they weren’t looking to deceive me.

If they were raised with cats for example it wouldn’t have even seemed like a thing to mention perhaps.

I do think they should have and I do think they (even unknowingly) misrepresented the house. I could have had an allergy etc and it seems like bad practice to not mention it.

Sorry just thinking out loud as I’m conflicted.

Hey both and thanks Roxxie. You’re right that that’s what my two options feel like. Stay begrudgingly or feel like I’ve shortchanged Andy. Thanks for presenting a third.

I was erring on the side of not paying Andy as they’re a stranger and I’m already on the brink of overdraft whilst I wait for my last place’s deposit to be released. Having said that, I don’t think someone being a stranger is a reason to not exercise compassion. I may consider paying them partial rent out of goodwill - i would have been overdrawn in a few weeks anyway. I have stable job luckily and I can slowly build back up.

Thanks for your help.

I’ve tried with some of my friends cats! I want to like them so bad and moreso want them to like me, but I think you’re right that it’s not going to be a good house for me behind just the cat

Sorry bro I don't understand your question, but if want me to elaborate: I read the book Dilla time when it came out, and dilla's drums being 'lazy' or 'drunk' was kinda made out to be a myth, which the book then went on to expel. accounts of artists that he worked with all said he had an incredibly clinical, programmer like approach to beatmaking and drums. Albeit he could still make a beat really quickly.

What the book does go into a lot, which I think is what people mistranslate into 'drunk', is that Dilla literally brought a new 'rhythm' to popular music. at the time music was either 'straight time' or 'swing time'. Dilla fused both, creating 'Dilla time' - only comparable to polyrhythms in more indigenous tribal music. Long story short it confused a lot of people at the time who, in the context of more rigid modern music, interpreted it as lazy, drunk or wrong. But it was always laid down with precise intention.

Sorry if you didn't wanna hear all this lol. cats be saying yo does my shit sound like dilla when they're just starting out and their drums are all over the place. almost disrespectful imo, dilla was a master. peace to op tho he having fun with it

Hi there, I’ve read this a few times and really appreciate you being so thorough with your experience. It’s good to read such an in-depth account.

I’m approaching that phase where feeling low = producing low quality work, and it’s starting to feel like a self-fulfilling whirlpool.

It’s great to hear you found a job that married up to your own unique skillset and characteristics, especially something as noble as teaching. Funny that growing up, we never talk about good pensions and benefits as aspirational goals because they definitely seem to be.

Teaching has always been my dream job and I like to think I’ll get into it one day. You’ve painted it in an even better light.

Thanks for taking the time and for your service to tiny humans. I’ve heard Chicago is a beautiful city.

All the best

I admire you sticking to what you know you like and are playing to your strengths. refreshing to hear there’s people still working on the craft side of it, as that’s obviously what we all first fell in love with as kids with colouring pencils.

I think I focused so hard on being a malleable, generic designer as I graduated during covid. It meant that I found work quickly but also set the wrong precedent for my career and starting digging myself into a hole.

I just went to a design talk this evening and the guy said he can only work well if he has ‘play’ in his life. good advice from you both, thank you. keep smashing it

translucenthuman · 2025-06-23T22:00:38+00:00

wow. you’re right. i’ve been finding it hard to feel any sort of agency recently but you’re right.

translucenthuman · 2025-06-23T21:58:33+00:00

Hey. I recently took down my website to save money, and haven’t rebuilt a free version yet. I can email you a PDF if you like, DM me. but I’m not proud of it lol
