And I'm LOSING MY MIND.
The morning after they moved in (2 months ago), I woke up to them febreezing and glade-ing the absolute hell out of my apartment. I told them nonono they cannot do that and opened all the windows, but the damage was already done. They put plugin air fresheners in every room. I told them they can't do that, also because they affect me and my lungs (and perfumes are not good for anyone, anyway). I guess to meet them halfway, I said it was fine they keep one in their room but nowhere else. The cats hardly go in their room. But then one roommate brought home essential oils and put them in the bathroom. I moved my cats stuff out of the bathroom and told them essential oils are POISON to cats.
And now I've found they put another air freshener on the bookcase in the living room. Like come on does the place really smell THAT bad?? I always clean out the litter box, I even put up a partition. Cats just have cat smell, you can't perfume it out. I'm too used to it I guess.
Both roommates have never in their lives lived with pets, let alone cats, and it's incredibly obvious now, but I'm really starting to regret this. I feel like it's my fault. I didn't tell them before moving in that they can't use sprays and stuff because everyone else I've ever lived with didn't have the need for them. Clearly, the place not smelling like cat is REALLY important to them.
Anyway, my question is, if the spray is up high on a shelf and on a timer, will it still affect my cats' health? Or else how can I finally convince my roommates that this stuff is not cool?? I love my cats but I hate feeling like an annoying, nagging cat mom. I've been nice to my roommates and I really hate confronting them about stuff. I found out they've been talking to all their friends about how much they dislike living with my cats, so I know this will only make it worse. Maybe I should just move?
