annoyed over cat puke

[getupdressandshowup]

It's petty but i want to rant.
I'm working from home today. DH was at work but came home and brought in smoothies for us both. I'm working on laptop in our dining room. We drink our drinks and DH goes to another room. DH leaves dining room door open. Our cat has a history of randomly being sick. Whilst DH was at work the cat was in our garden. Since DH came home and left back door and dining room door open the cat has snuck in and up the stairs. DH just told me the cat has been sick upstairs. Me: Did you clear it up? DH: no. Me: Where is the cat? DH: he's upstairs. DH has now gone to the shed to do some DIY or something.

AIBU to think 'What on earth?' I'm working from home. I didn't leave the doors open. I did not take cat upstairs.

AIBU to think DH should clear up the sick?

WWYD?

I'd been down that shed and telling him to get back to the house and clean up the sick.
You still have work to do and he's need to sort it.

After ‘Did you clean up the sick?’ ‘No’ I’d have said ‘Well are you gonna?’

I hate being told things have happened with the expectation I should fix them. My ex used to do it all the time

Leave it there. Tell him the cat was sick on his watch. And you're not cleaning it up.

Is cat sick cleaning up "your" job generally? Is he one of those men who thinks anything of that nature is just automatically down to the woman?

If it was my doing and i'd left the doors open then fair play. I'd go and clear it up. There's only us two, no children. I'm not clearing it up. I do enough around this place. I am working. he's now doing a hobby in his free time. GRRRRRR! He can be so annoying. When he comes in I'll ask him to clear it up.

Well I have a cat and he's my cat, DH said he didn't want a cat, I said I did so we agreed that the cat was mine and he wasn't feeding him, cleaning his litter etc etc :p Having said that he did get home first last week and the cat had gotten sick in the kitchen and he cleaned it up because he's not that petty

However if this is a normal family pet situation then he's being a total dickhead and of course he should have cleaned it up if he found it, are you the hired help or what? Go out after him and tell him to clean it up!!

He knows if was down to him. He left two doors open. He was the reason the cat got in and upstairs. My bum has not left the dining room chair. I'm working til 6pm. Then I'm going to avoid the room the sick is in. It's so lazy. Tell the wife there is something yuck on the carpet. Walk away. GRRRRRR! and leave the cat there to potentially be sick again. How did he reach adulthood? Mother who did almost everything for him.

The cat is pretty old so I make sure I know when he is indoors and he's usually in an area with tiled flooring. We both love the cat and got him when he was a kitten and now he's 20. He isn't sick often so he's probably found something/bird/mouse in the garden and eaten it . I don't want to be petty over such a little thing. It's the principle. Problem. Walk away. Let someone else deal with it. Immature or lazy?

Both!!!
And he thinks it's your job now he's told you.
So get on with it woman!!!
(not a chance in hell)

I'm not clearing it up. Thanks hellsbells. I am definitely in the camp of we both work full time, we are both able bodied, pay our way and we both have to clear up puke or whatever else. Once he's done the hobby thing he can clean up.
