Days it has been since my aunts' cat bit me is back to zero. I am very tired of cat-sitting for my aunts, and both the cat and I are miserable over it. It is day 32 and my aunts provided no specific return date for retrieving the cat. ... does anyone want a cat?

She’s a fussy eater and needs small meals multiple times a day or she has a tendency to throw them up. But yeah. She’s not a happy cat. The best I can do is give her plenty of packing paper to roll around in (the only thing she seems to enjoy) and avoid ever reaching in her direction (dangerous).

Our food-focused cat would eat all her food too quickly (so.etimes throwing that up), and then think she had an upset tummy as she got hungrier during the day, sometimes throwing up bile multiple times around the house. So her robotic feeder feeds her every 4 hours (also, she gets diet food)

Our other cat (Lyra) has a chip-activated feeder so Rosetta doesn't eat her food. At least you've identified something your aunts' cat likes and have provided that. You're a good human even when this cat doesn't like you ❤️

Wait, hold up. They dumped the cat on you for an indeterminate amount of time? NOPE. I'd send my aunt a message being like "you have 3 days to make other arrangements or I'm surrendering this cat."

I've told my father that I could only be more unhappy with my aunts if they started voting republican. (He thinks I'm being harsh, but he stays away from the cat and so hasn't been bitten like Mom and I have.)

First it was going to be 2 - 3 weeks while they went to Texas to visit their grandkids. But their departure date kept moving, and then they had to drop the cat off early (3 weeks) because it was inconvenient to drop the cat off just before they left, and now it's probably 3 weeks before they're home

They don't seem to think so because their cat is a perfect baby angel who sleeps most of the day and doesn't do any harm to anything, and only needs to be fed four times a day, brushed daily, and have her nails trimmed monthly (which atm WOULD be good, but she doesn't let anyone touch her).
