This TikToker Shared How Her “Nightmare Of A Housemate” Moved Out And Left Behind Not Only A Trashed Room But Also A Cat
Co-living has quickly become a new norm in the United States. According to a Pew Research Center study conducted in 2018, about one in three adults live with at least one roommate, excluding romantic partners or college students.
This trend spurred during the great recession and has continued to grow amidst astronomical costs of living.
Plus, there can be some benefits to having a roommate, like gaining access to a larger living space and possibly even making a friend.
Still, a survey conducted by Apartment Guide showed that these benefits often do not outweigh the cons. Only about thirty-two percent of people claimed to be satisfied with their living situation. Yikes.
Stories of “horrible roommates” are not hard to come by online nowadays, either. But, one TikTok user’s tale stood out after sharing the bizarre fashion in which her housemate finally moved out of their home.
“When your nightmare of a housemate finally moves out but leaves their bedroom like this and abandons their cat,” the user @Capybaraluv1 wrote on her now-viral TikTok.
The video first showed her housemate’s trashed room. The floor was littered with dirty clothes, shoes, wrappers, cigarette cartons, and cat supplies.

Then, the TikToker panned to her housemate’s poor cat, who was left behind and eating directly from an opened soft food can.

“They found a way to still terrorize us even after leaving. Love it,” the user wrote in the caption.

The video has since gone viral after reaching over one hundred and eighty thousand people and accruing over twenty-one thousand views.
Additionally, over five hundred people flew to the comments. Most inquired about the cat’s future.
“Who just leaves their cat? Poor baby is probably confused,” commented one user.
“Pretty sure you can sue for neglect or at least get them fined,” added a second user.
“Take the cat in, please,” asked a third.
The TikToker has since responded to all of the concerned commenters. Apparently, her housemate has adopted the cat, who is “in way better hands and care now.”
What caused the TikToker’s housemate to leave in such an abrupt and messy manner is still unknown.
Have you ever had a toxic relationship with a roommate or housemate? Can these issues be rectified, or is it best to part ways?
