Living with pets usually means everyone in the house has to make a few adjustments.

For one homeowner, that became a problem when her cat started peeing on one roommate’s shoes.

The cat has a medical condition, and the homeowner has already worked with a vet to deal with the other issues causing accidents.

Still, the roommate keeps leaving her shoes on the floor instead of using the shelf right by the door.

After replacing two pairs already, the homeowner finally decided she wasn’t paying for any more.

AITA – cat peeing on roommate’s shoes

I live in a house with two roommates. We have three cats between us (two are mine, one belongs to the third, uninvolved roommate).

One of my cats keeps peeing on my roommate’s shoes, and she wants me to keep buying her new shoes and has also suggested I get rid of the cat.

There is no dispute about which cat is to blame. The cat has a known medical issue (birth defect), is under the care of a vet, and takes daily pain medication. We’ve removed most of the other triggers for inappropriate urination, and this is the only one that keeps happening.

The cat only chooses the one roommate’s shoes for some reason.

She only pees on this roommate’s shoes, no one else’s.

BUT everyone else almost always uses the shoe shelf, located right next to the door. This roommate is the only one who continues to leave her shoes on the floor. However, even if someone else leaves their shoes on the ground, the cat only pees on this roommate’s shoes.

I pick up my roommate’s shoes if I see them, but she works really late and usually gets home after I’m in bed.

She replaced the shoes a few times, but doesn’t want to again.

I own the house. The roommate has only a month-to-month lease and is welcome to find somewhere else to live, but her rent is really low (about half of what would be typical in this area), and I doubt she wants to.

The roommate has her own bedroom and attached bathroom. The cats aren’t allowed in there.

I replaced two pairs of shoes already and do not think I should be responsible for replacing any more. I also don’t think it should be my job to pick up my roommate’s shoes, and obviously, I don’t think I should have to get rid of my cat.

AITA?

Yikes! It’s not funny, but it’s kinda funny.

Let’s check out what the readers over at Reddit think about it.

Apparently, this person changed their mind.

This person suggests a final warning.

Here’s someone who thinks she should get rid of the roommate.

Yet another reader who thinks this is the roommate’s problem.

It may be time for the roommate to find a new place to live.

In no world should a homeowner have to get rid of their cat because one person cannot follow the rules.

She’s been told too many times already not to leave her shoes on the floor, but she refuses to listen.

At this point, the homeowner should give her one final warning and make it clear that if it happens again, she’ll need to find somewhere else to live.
