Why the hell did i agree to petsit this cat??

[Whenwillitgeteasier]

So I've been seeing this chap for a few months, and he's due to go abroad for work this week for about a month. I agreed to petsit his cat as the cattery let him down and he's a bit stuck (we already have two but they're very friendly to other cats so thought it would be fine and I'd keep them separated for a while).

Cat came here Friday so have it in the kitchen with litter tray and I've never known a cat shit so much (normal poos) and the smell is unreal! I've had lots of cats but dear god never experienced this. Ah well can't be helped and cat send perfectly happy and friendly. Unfortunately One of my cats has disappeared since Saturday morning so I'm worried his nose has been put out of joint :-(

Anyway, when my chap brought the cat round all that came with was a third of a bag of Tesco value cat litter (I've already gone out and bought decent odour absorbing litter as the smell is so bad!) and NO food at all.

If it were me I'd have brought vast supplies with the cat. Last week i asked if he was up to date with flea treatment, i was told 'he's fine, no fleas' so i asked when was he last treated to be told a month ago so i said he was due another in that case. I was adamant about this after a previous flea infestation so I'm religious about trading my cats and have a flea free house. Anyway, he's ordered treatments to be delivered here but he clearly thought i was going overboard.

To top it off cat shat the carrier when he brought him over, when he phoned me last night i asked if the carrier was still outside, when he said it was i said 'well I'm not dealing with it' to which he replied 'oh just leave it outside till i get back and the rain will wash it'. I was at work and shattered and busy so didn't really register enough to respond.

I don't even want to continue seeing this guy, I've been a bit unsure for a while and after a crap shag saturday night and realising I'm not going to miss him at all when he's away i know there's no future but he jets off today so I'm going to deal with it when he gets back i guess.

I've just got to suck up having the cat as it's too late to do anything but WIBU to tell him I don't know what planet he's on that he thought it was ok to leave a shitty carrier in my back garden for a month and not leaving any supplies and that he's taking the piss?

I'm so cross with myself for agreeing to this!!

You'll feel better once you've done it, rather than wait a whole month, and if you've only been seeing him a couple of months I'd think it's fine to dump via email.

Don't dump him until after his hols, otherwise you'll either be stuck with the cat or a chattery bill.

If you do a week at his house and then get a cat sitter, the cost will be the same as a Cattery, or he tells you were the certificates are and you do him the favour of taking the Cat there.

I had a dog overnight and then the next day my Sister turned up with her friend's boisterous dog and my Cat never came home.

He certainly isn't worth losing a Cat over. He wouldn't have been able to drop and run at a Cattery, they take details etc and he would have to take the Carrier with him, He has took the piss.

I think you'd find that he is that way inclined by the eating of your food without asking, unless he does lots of favours for you.

Sort the Cat out and then end it, life is too short for shit shags.

Very much this.

Maybe he couldn't use the cattery because cat is not up to date with boosters, and none of ours would take a cat that wasn't flea treated.

I feel sorry for that poor cat.

He lured me in with epic first shag session... Since then not so much - we don't have the same sex drive at all!! Saturday night was sooo disappointing. I wholeheartedly agree... Life's too short!!

If you dump him while he’s gone, he might never collect the cat.

Or worse continually call to arrange and rearrange collecting it as a way to keep talking to you.

I think the cat and your cats will be happier if you take the cat back to it’s home. A month is a long time

your cat will probably come home after a day or two.

I'm going to speak to him when he comes and tell him he'll need to give me money for cat food and litter. I can't back out of having the cat now and he doesn't have anyone else but I'm going to shut him in spare bedroom with food and litter...

For a second I thought you were planning to shut the boyfriend in the spare bedroom.

as your cat come back op?
