She used to pick fights with me about the cat going in her closet and cat hair.
The latest is that she insists on keeping the living room window open all the time to cool down the apt. The window pulls out like a door, and opens about 8 inches. Just wide enough for a cat. There's no screens or bars and we live on the 21st floor. So obviously I'm very concerned about my cat's safety.
We're going to look into installing a screen, but it may not be possible with the type of large window we have.
I'm right to be concerned, right?
And my roommate is being totally stubborn and won't compromise. She won't turn the A/C on instead, because it's too expensive. She won't only open the window for a few hours, with the cat in my room. She wants it open all the time - when she's out and at night. And my cat cannot stay in my room all night - she meows like crazy if the door is shut and none of us can sleep. And it's not always possible to put her in there while we're out because she'll run and hide to avoid being shut up in my room.
Grrrr. Any suggestions?
I'm seriously considering moving out and finding a roommate who has her own cat. So she'll be more considerate of issues like this.
