Having a pet is the best thing ever. With pets comes a lot of responsibility for taking care of them and feeding them on time, regular vet checkups, cleaning their waste, and many more.

We have to take care of our pets like small children because they cannot communicate with us verbally but tell us what they have to do through actions, and it takes quite some time to understand those. To keep them comfortable, we need to understand their way of communication, which comes over time, and only the owner can understand their pet's requirements through their actions.

Understandably, there are times when we have to leave behind our pet at home while going somewhere for a few days or weeks, and we want someone to take care of our pet back at home. We should give our pets to people who are pet owners, and if you don't have someone who owns a pet, you should give them up to pet care as they are skilled at taking care of pets.

But giving your pet to someone who doesn't like having pets is entirely wrong and is unjustified to your pet because they won't be taken care of properly, and they deserve nothing but the best.

Story of the girl who refused to shelter her roommates cat for three weeks.

She didn't have the slightest of idea why she was given instructions to take care of the cat

If you did it once, you will have to do it all the time.

The situation she was put in is totally unfair, given the fact she works full time.

Exactly, the roommate should have asked her once before giving her the whole responsibility.

It was better that she said 'NO' the very first time, so this won't be repeated again.

Crying her way to get things done according to her convenience.

This should be a national motto, "not your pet, not your problem."

Three days seems too long alone, then 3 weeks alone with the responsibility of a cat would seem longer.

I disagree, its so insensitive to put a pets whole responsibility on someone who didn't even agree to get it at first.

If she agrees to take care of the pet once, she will have to do it every time.

The roommate should have definitely checked with her once before giving an ultimatum.

Certainly, it is especially with a responsibility on your head.

The communication lacked from the roommate's side.

When people are forced to do something, they don't do it to their full potential.

She could probably be paid her half day's salary to take care of the cat, a win-win situation for both.

Being someone's roommate doesn't oblige you to do anything they ask you to do.

Provided she really likes this new job of taking care of a cat.

It's not fair to make someone clean cat litter, who doesn't even like cats.

She could probably feed the cat and call someone else to clean the litter.

It is absolutely unjustified to a pet to leave them with someone who doesn't really love them and won't care for them to their potential.

Share this story with your friends and family who are pet owners so they can learn to work out something for their pets while they plan a getaway for themselves.
