I have been dating someone for a few weeks, and we have been getting along very well… I thought.
This evening, she told me she was going on holiday, and mentioned a young cat in passing… she hadn’t actually mentioned she had a pet at all!
I asked: “Who will be taking care of the cat?”
I was told that the cat would take care of herself!
What about water? “Cat never drinks at home”
And food: “Cat is a good hunter”
Can I collect your cat to be rehomed? “No, cat will be lost and confused to be taken to a strange place”
What would you do?
It made me very sad and upset to think of a cat coming “home” one day to find the family have upped sticks and left one day and all the doors and windows are closed!
AIBU?
Wants to leave young cat to fend for itself whilst on holiday

Domestic cats don't hunt for food. It wouldn't give them enough energy anyway. Think about how small a mouse or baby bird is?
There presumably is a cat flap?
In that case someone needs to simply fulfill food bowl and water bowl daily. She's a living fuckhead for not making provision for this.
I'd definitely dump them, and tell her to show you proof she's got a neighbour or cat sitting service to pop round, else you'll tell RSPCA.

Can you pop round and then steal the cat and take to the RSPCA/cats protection.
Would she give you the keys and allow you to look after the cat? And then dump her.

As soon as you leave a house with an animal in they go into panic mode, as to where the next meal is coming from etc. betting if any damage got done.. the poor animal would go. Unbelievable. Why are humans so horrible
