I invited 3 friends from my old work round on Friday to meet my new kitten the house is all upside down at the minute because I have just moved in and I have just been told that not only have they invited some random person to meet us in costa for a coffe they have also invited her to my new house to meet my new kitten without asking me if it was ok first its just been dropped on me. I'm really pissed off that they thought that was even ok and I now don't even want to meet up with them at all AIBU to think you cheeky fucker.

"I'd love to meet a kitten! "

Me too.

Or a puppy!

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 16/05/2018 15:04

What is the problem here? Too many friends came to visit?

People are different, obviously. Some people love the company of lots of friends, others don't or prefer a bit of notice.

I completely get this bit. It's just three ex-colleagues arranging kitten-visiting that I don't get!

diddl · 16/05/2018 15:04

Or a cat or dog!

Love them all & if a friend was getting one I'd be really looking forward to seeing it!

Shootfirstaskquestionslater · 16/05/2018 15:05

nokidshere that's what I find strange that they want to see a kitten to me she's just a kitten not sure why people need to come round or why a stranger needs to tag along to see a kitten. What am I missing here.

Inviting someone to join you at a coffee shop is ok, but a friend inviting someone you don't know to your house without asking you first is rude. I don't like people I don't know coming in to my house either!

Lalliella · 16/05/2018 15:08

You just want someone to name her KittenZilla don’t you? There, I’ve done it!

MiddleAgedMe · 16/05/2018 15:08

I don't think they're a CF though, just silly and thoughtless

diddl · 16/05/2018 15:08

Well if you think it's odd-why did you invite them?

Just because they asked-doesn't mean that you had to!

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 16/05/2018 15:09

I really wish my colleagues would invite me around to meet their kitten!

Unless it is a euphemism. In that case I don't.

AlexandraSam · 16/05/2018 15:09

I'd rather meet a kitten than a newborn too!

YANBU OP I would be annoyed too, they should have asked first before inviting someone else you don't know along to your home.

One of my friends used to always invited her latest BF along to whatever group activity was planned without asking and it used to annoy me as it changed the dynamics of wanting to meet up with old friends and having to engage with someone new. At least she didn't invite him to my house which I would hate. Just say its only your friends that are invited to your house.

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 16/05/2018 15:10

Oh I would totally go to a strangers house to meet a kitten.

It's a miracle I didn't get abducted as a child.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 16/05/2018 15:11

Love them all & if a friend was getting one I'd be really looking forward to seeing it!

Yep. Kittens and puppies are cute. I'd enjoy seeing it if a friend got one and I happened to be around.

But three ex-colleagues and a random stranger all arranging a trip over to Costa then the OP's house especially to meet a kitten? Weird.

Zbag · 16/05/2018 15:12

I wouldn't be ok with this

A1hulahoop · 16/05/2018 15:12

Well if you think it's odd-why did you invite them?

^^This

Also, why are finding this 'wanting to meet the kitten' so odd if they did it with your other kitten? I'm assuming you invited them that time too Hmm

Ohyesiam · 16/05/2018 15:15

I can’t imagine ever inviting someone to someone else’s house. Very rude.

lostinsunshine · 16/05/2018 15:17

I'm also not a "more the merrier " type person. Add a new kitten to the mix and it is a bit thoughtless of them. Kittens need to settle into their domain before they take over and socialising them with strangers is an "in small doses" sort of deal.
I'd reschedule. Which is a polite way of saying "piss off".

Shootfirstaskquestionslater · 16/05/2018 15:18

I don't mind someone being invited to the coffe shopjust not my home after. The first time it was more a catch up and she got to see the new cat I had got but this time they all just want to meet my new kitten. Do people actually do that go to someones house just to meet a new animal I've personally never asked to go to someones house just to meet a new animal.

Then cancel.

Trinity66 · 16/05/2018 15:20

I wouldn't say they were cheeky, but they probably should have asked you first. It probably wouldn't bother alot of people tbf though, if you were already expecting company

lostinsunshine · 16/05/2018 15:21

I too would meet a kitten at the slightest encouragement. However, as a cat owner myself, I know that piling round to a house where there's a new kitten is not a good idea.
If your friends have any inkling about you tackling anxiety, they'd not put you in this situation.

Juells · 16/05/2018 15:23

Bringing people to meet your kitten. 😐

TomRavenscroft · 16/05/2018 15:25

Oh, stop snitting, everyone, about how weird it is to invite people to see a kitten! The OP's said more than once that these people ASKED to come and meet it.

OP, I think it's fine to invite another person to a cafe, but not to your house. Have you said no yet?

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 16/05/2018 15:27

Oh, stop snitting, everyone, about how weird it is to invite people to see a kitten! The OP's said more than once that these people ASKED to come and meet it

We know that Confused

It's still weird. I also know that the OP's not responsible for other people's weirdness about kitten-visiting.

TomRavenscroft · 16/05/2018 15:28

SheGot, YOU might understand that the people asked to come, but not everyone does. There are comments about how strange it is to invite people to meet it, as if that's what the OP has done when it isn't.

Shootfirstaskquestionslater · 16/05/2018 15:29

My biggest problem is that I have a fridge and freezer stood outside my front door and floor to celing crap piled high inside the house because I only moved in on Sunday my house looks like an episode of hoarders. My 3 old work friends would understand that I've only just moved in and with 4 cats to look after its hard to sort everything out but some stranger is going to look at it all and think I'm a messy cow which I'm not I just have nowhere to put anything yet.
