I would suggest, however, that in addition to keeping close tabs on the litter box, and waking up early, it would be helpful to tell your roommates ahead of time that that is what you plan on doing. If you proactively approach your roommates, acknowledge that the past 4 months have been less than ideal from their perspective, and then explain that you plan on trying to improve the situation, they are more likely to accept this as a permanent change. | |

I think keeping the cat is out of the question, because it is necessary to respect the space of others. If the cat is bothering your roommates, you need to sort this out by being honest with them . If they accept the cat's permanence, great. If not, you will have to move. You can talk to your parents to keep the cat with them while you find a new place to live. | |

| Oct 30, 2017 at 11:11 | comment | added | George | It sounds like your only option is to live with the cat Or they could just explain to their parents that they were mistaken, it really depends on if they were trying to get rid of the cat or actually just thought that this was a permanent situation. | |
