Cat owner who asked their neighbor to cat-sit for "a couple days" suddenly expects the neighbor to come twice a day for 2 weeks without payment, the neighbor compromises on one week, then gets ghosted: 'The whole scenario feels exploitative'

Despite being such small, fluffy and cute creatures, for some reason, cats seem to cause a whole lot of problems with their neighbors, and we don’t really know why. Well, actually, we do know. It’s because the neighbors are bad. We swear, people can do insane things sometimes. We have seen neighbors stealing cats, we have seen neighbors holding lost cats for ransom and demanding money to give them back, and we have even seen a person ask their neighbor to keep their cat out of their own yard because it is distracting their dog.

And today, what started as an entirely wholesome interaction between two neighbors turned into… what we have come to expect at this point. Because why wouldn’t you con your neighbor into cat sitting your cat two times a day for two weeks without payment when the agreed-upon time was a a few days with payment? Why not?
