Her Sister Bought A $700 Automatic Litter Box, But Her Cat Hated It, So The Cat Has Been Going To The Bathroom On All Of Her Belongings, And She Told Her Sister To Either Get Rid Of The Litter Robot Or Lock Up The Cat
This twenty-seven-year-old woman has been living with her sister, who is twenty-six, for just over a year now. And throughout their entire time being roommates, her sister has also had a cat.
Now, don’t get me wrong: she does love her sister’s cat and claims there have never really been any issues with the pet aside from the rare occasions when her sister was “lazy” and did not clip the cat’s nails.
“This has caused her cat to poke holes in some of my clothing, furniture, or day one of my new bed having strands pulled up from the cover,” she recalled.
Despite these somewhat frustrating occurrences, though, she really had no issue living alongside a feline friend. Well, that was until just a few weeks ago when her sister decided to drop a whopping seven hundred dollars on an automatic litter cleaner.
Apparently, the cleaner rembles a capsule pod that cats can “tinkle” in. Then, once the business is done, the inner compartment of the litter cleaner will rotate in order to scoop up the dirty litter.
Anyway, immediately after purchasing this ultra-expensive device, it became clear that her sister’s cat absolutely despises the new litter box.
“Like she hates all of the moving parts and the noise after she leaves it from doing her business. She has hissed at it, and she stalks it,” she explained.
So, if you could not have guessed, her sister’s cat has since begun to use other household items as “litter boxes.” For instance, she has found cat pee and poop on her bath mat, in her hamper, on her clothes, and inside her large floor pants. Not to mention, all of those items were soiled within just one week!
And obviously, this upset her. What made her even angrier, though, was her sister’s lack of motivation to fix the root of the problem.

So, after allowing the defecation madness to go on for too long, she ended up giving her sister a final ultimatum.
She said that either her sister gets rid of the litter robot and goes back to an old school litter box. Or, the cat will need to be kept locked in her sister’s room until the situation is fixed.
Surprisingly, though, her sister did not really see any problem with the current state of their place or the cat’s behavior.
Instead, her sister just got annoyed and actually told her she should be more diligent about keeping her bedroom and bathroom doors closed!
And aside from that response being somewhat ridiculous in and of itself, she also pointed out a few key details that are the icing on the cake.
First of all, she does always try to shut the door to every room. But she is human, and sometimes she forgets.
Second, even if she forgets to close the door, she claims her forgetfulness does not magically put her to blame for the litter box situation.
“The problem lies with her litter robot and her cat using my room and things as a litter box. I shouldn’t have to worry about if I accidentally left a door open,” she vented.
Finally, she underscored how the problem was literally caused by her sister since her sister decided to try out something new that ended up failing miserably.
So, she believes it is entirely her sister’s responsibility to rectify the issue quickly without being an inconvenience to others who live in the same space.
On top of all of that, she specifically has a very nice purple mattress that does not have a removable zipper cover. In turn, all it takes is her sister’s cat peeing on it just once for the entire mattress to be ruined and for her to be out literally thousands of dollars.
Despite all of these valid concerns, though, her sister is still pretty pissed off by her ultimatum. So now, she has been left wondering if telling her sister to either get rid of the litter robot or lock the cat up makes her the jerk in this situation.
Is an automatic litter cleaner worth spending seven hundred dollars on in the first place? If your sister’s cat started going to the bathroom on all of your belongings, would you be pissed off, too? Do you think her sister has not made any effort to fix the problem since the cat is only doing its business on her stuff? Did she come up with a fair ultimatum or not?
